Having chosen to block the exit, you and Rickenbacker drive off the freeway and make a wide detour around the town while Macy and Langdon wait patiently. As soon as you are in position on the far side, they bring their Trans-sol to within fifty yards of the suspect clan car, halt, and then rush forward on foot. You watch them disappear among the buildings, and then less than a minute later, you hear gunfire and see three mean-looking clansmen come running into the main street, shouting and firing behind them as they scurry towards their vehicle.
With tyres squealing, the car comes racing through the town, heading straight for the freeway ramp where you and your partner lie in wait.
‘Hey, these guys ain’t gonna stop,’ says Rickenbacker, as he climbs out of the passenger seat and takes cover behind the trunk.
‘Sure is rude to leave in such a hurry,’ you reply. ‘Guess we’ll just have to teach ’em some manners.’
The clan car is 200 yards away and closing fast when a machine pistol appears at the passenger window. Immediately you see a muzzle flash and a stream of bullets peppers the side of your car, making you duck your head involuntarily.
‘They’re gonna ram us!’ screams Rickenbacker.
‘OK. Let ’em have it,’ you shout, and as one, you and your partner stand up and take aim at the oncoming enemy.
If you wish to aim at the car’s windshield, turn to 123.
If you choose to aim at the vehicle’s front tyres, turn to 65.
