maybe a hundred yards in front of him.
Now, what the hell…?
The old guys back in Jersey called that fancy driving a bootlegger’s turn, something from their whiskey-running days, before Casale’s parents had been born. The faceless driver had a certain style, but what he didn’t have was any hope of getting off the riverfront alive.
“Slow down,” Casale told his wheelman. “Let’s see what he’s got in mind.”
The driver slowed but didn’t stop. The other chase car took its cue from Casale’s, keeping pace.
“He wants to go down fighting,” Luca offered from the backseat.
The faceless driver who had let Gil Favor live on borrowed time was revving his engine now. Not going anywhere, just goosing it, the way street racers do at traffic lights sometimes.
Was it a challenge? Casale wondered. Did he want to play a game?
Let’s play a round of chicken, Casale thought. And I guarantee you I won’t flinch.
Of course, it didn’t really matter what the nameless driver wanted. Once they closed the gap a little more, Casale meant to kill the stranger and his passengers. His firing would unleash the other members of his crew, and they would turn the Ford into a giant colander.
Only a few more yards…
When they were almost there, the bullet-punctured Ford leaped forward and charged directly toward the narrow space between Casale’s stolen chase car and its mate.
“IS THIS THE MAIN EVENT?” Blanca Herrera asked.
“This is what we’ve got,” Bolan replied. “Soon as we’re close enough, unload with everything you have.”
Eight rounds, he thought. Not much, but maybe she’d get lucky.
Maybe.
“Now!”
He stamped on the accelerator and released the parking brake. Some kind of gasping, squeaking noise came from Gil Favor, lying on the rear floorboards, then Bolan lost it in the clamor of his engine and their guns.
