Your car careens through the garbage blocking your path, scattering it behind you. If they thought that they could lose you by driving down this narrow alley, they were sorely mistaken. You've never been thrown off a car chase yet, and you're not about to start now. Even the prospect of dirtying up the car doesn't concern you too much; it just means that the men you're chasing will be in a lot more trouble when you finally catch them.
Two low-level nobodies in the service of a crime syndicate made up of former KGB agents. You're only after them because they can lead you to someone bigger, someone with real knowledge about what's being done with the secret weapon files that someone stole from the Kremlin.
Just another day at work.
Ahead of you, their car crunches back onto the main street, forcing other motorists to swerve aside or risk a collision. You follow in their wake, expertly remaining almost exactly within their tyre prints. Once you've gotten a little further away from this built-up urban area, you can bring out the big guns. Until then, you'll have to play it cool.
As a shot ricochets off your right wing mirror, you realise that they have no such qualms about keeping this business quiet. One of them is leaning out of the window, plugging away madly with a kolasnikov.
Well, they can't blame you now - it was they that upped the stakes first. You reach for the secret console hidden behind the dashboard, but pull your finger away when you have to follow them around another tight bend. Seems that they're heading for that big industrial plant ahead; why would that be?
Then a strange glow covers your car. Some sort of weapon fired from the car ahead? No, they seem to be affected as well. You have no idea where it is coming from, but it seems to be having a soporific effect...
***
You awaken to find your head buried in the air-bag of your car. Unsurprisingly, you lost control when you passed out.
Fighting free, you take a look outside. It's gotten dark, so you must have been out a while. You get the feeling that maybe you have lost your first car chase...
