Two groups of men were closing in on them from behind, and one group of them roag from their front. And judging from their stature and posure, they were surely armed.

  “Now. My car’s there on the left. So let’s go there.” Captain Ko whispered to the one-legged man.

  “No. They must have bugged your car already. Or worse.” The one-legged man shook his head: “My car as well. But you know - I happeo have the man’s car key o mine, so we’ll use that.”

  “Where is it?”

  “Follow me to the right. And also - run when I open fire.” The one legged man patted Captain Ko on the shoulder ahe way rightward. His left hand reached into the depth of his coat and pulled out a short wooden shaft ected with two metal pipes. A short double barrel shotgun, with some disguise and izations pced added onto it.

  One group of three men behind them came close as they tried to move to their escape car’s position. Somethial glimmered the st bit of light from the sun. Before they could get within dashing rahe one-legged man pulled out his double barrel shotgun and opened fire.

  A full bst of pellets were unleashed from one barrel. The man in the middle was sent into midair. Even with a tactical vest under his shirt, his entire upper body was almost entirely reo minced meat. The man on his left was also struck by a few pellets and lost the ability to use his right arm. The man on the right froze and ducked behind a light pole.

  “Don’t e any closer!” The one-legged man waved his shotgun around at all the men in bing around them, temporarily stalling their moves: “I still have a full barrel, enough to make some dumpling stuffing out of everyone of you. One more step and you’ll get it!” He threw the car key he lifted at Captain Ko.

  Captain Ko found the car through a quick clid started it without a moment of hesitation. He floored the gas the moment the one-legged ma into the backseat. The men in bck behind them started firing. The car’s back window and trunk took a few hits. Lucky for both of them they were only scratched by the gss.

  “I’m going to the Northern District. You knoce we hide?” Captain Ko asked as he made a sharp turn at a crossroads.

  “I don’t knoce like that in the Northern District. Why ’t we just find somewhere in the South-Eastern or South-Western?”

  “They must have more people waiting for us in those areas. The only pce we run to is in the north.” Captain Ko immediately shut the proposal down: “Then I guess we’ll have to go into a - a neighborhood easier to hide in.”

  “Why the transpnts? Don’t you know anywhere else?” The one-legged man grunted.

  “If you know, just tell me! I only know one neighborhood kinda well to hide.” Captain Ko barked: “We’ve gotta find a pce to y low and see if we handle pn for everything. I don’t think we stay iy.”

  “It’s that serious, huh?” The one-legged man sighed.

  “You still have some business left, Bob?” Captain Ko asked as he made another swift turn into a tunnel.

  “Nah, what do you take me for? Some fug newbie?” The one-legged man scoffed: “All my arras are made already. My people will be taken care of, and their fate will be fully on them.”

  “Nice. Good. ”

  “What about you?”

  “I thought I had, but unfortunately some messes I’ll have to leave to my detectives to solve.” Captain Ko sighed and shook his head. This tunnel was long, going right underh a se of the rails running across the city and along the border of South-Eastern and South-Western District. The lighting was dim, if not for the reflective road studs and markers on the road, many vehicles would have collided into each other.

  “Well then, did you at least leave them enough resources and information for them?” The one-legged man sighed: “And, uh - good luck, genuinely. They’re gonna . A lot of it.”

  “Do you happen to know - those traffickers - I mean usherers, if they have extra seats?” Captain Ko asked as he took a quick right turn whe out of the exit a into a path parallel to the railway, towards the Northern District.

  Several bck cars followed them out of the tunnel, keeping oail.

  “They are fast, these fuckers.” Captain Ko took a look at the rearview mirror and cursed through his teeth.

  “Sorry, this is a bad car. But I actually did not expect us to be using it.” The one legged man grunted.
