gradually gaining on my friend, when
/ looked back and saw @ flashlight and
knew Dan Thompson, the motorcycle
cop, was coming after US I decided TO
play what I thought would be a safe
trick on the cop, so l cut off my lights
and hit it up the first side street I
passed, thinking of course that
Thompson would follow the other rae

T. road But, would you believe me,
that cop let the other car go and
turned into the dark side street after
me. As I had cut out my lights, I
couldn't run fast. of course, and he
caught me- If that isn't hard luck I
