Suddenly, there was a landing before them, and standing there was a lone City Guard with nightgoggles holding a massive Barret rifle. Bouncing up and onto the landing, Thumbs revved his engine to the max, hit the brakes, twisting sideways. The Guard swung the big barrel of the rifle about, trying to track him, but got slammed by the back fender of the rice-rocket. With a cry, he dropped the rifle and went tumbling over the chain railing and out of sight.
