RATA-TA-TA! RATA-TA-TA!

The thugs were right behind me. I hadn’t done a single thing to them, and here they were chasing me through the barren streets of the city. Where was the fuzz when you needed them? At a donut joint?

I swerved down an alley. I thought I’d be able to sneak past them that way. Just my luck, a 6 foot wall is blocking my way. To the left, a filthy swamp, to the right, a lake. The sounds of guns get closer and I make my decision immediately.

My car dove straight into the lake as the thugs came down. Satisfied to see me drown to my doom, they left. That is, not without putting a few rounds through my car.

I slipped out of the water when the coast was clear with the diamond necklace around my neck. The treasure was mine.
