Another Chance

The figures pounded up the stairs. Funny Face swiftly snapped his grapple launcher onto his dart pistol and peered into the alley. The guard had left the mouth of the alley way and wasn’t in sight. Shooting his grapple onto the adjacent building, Funny Face swung across and climbed up on top of the roof. From this vantage they wouldn’t find him. Suddenly he heard a door slam below and spotted a large man very heavily built and in an expensive business suit. He was talking on a cell phone as he leaped into a sporty looking car that squealed up. Sting Ray and another man followed him and leaped in as well. Funny Face quickly snapped out his clip and snapped in a magnetic tracking dart. It would enable him to follow the vehicle easily. He snapped off a quick shot. Quickly zooming in on the car which was accelerating rapidly now, he checked to make sure it was attached. It was. Good. That had been a tough shot.

Suddenly something flickered in his glasses. He had a tiny pair of rear facing cameras installed in his glasses that helped him see more. He spotted an orange arm and head come up and suddenly dove to the floor immediately. Suddenly a submachine gun opened up and he watched the hot orange bullets flash past. One took away a button from his coat and another sliced neatly across his chest leaving a nasty looking gash. He hadn’t expected things to go this awry! Twisting, he flipped out his clip and brought a lethal stun dart clip to his gun. Holding the other clip he threw it at the gun man in the hope of distracting him and then rolled out and fired two stun darts at the man. The first hit him in the collar but the second found the neck. Quickly re-cocking his pistol, Funny Face retrieved his clip and cuffed the man.

Moving swiftly he scanned the area with x-ray, infrared, and night vision combined and suddenly spotted two cyclists roaring towards the warehouse. The first to arrive and on motorcycles! Perfect! They would soon be here. Using his grapple gun to swing into the alley way he saw that the henchmen were still searching the huge warehouses. Quickly he slapped another grapple into the launcher and shot it across just before the cyclists reached it. Grabbing the line, he hauled back hard and it jerked both riders off of their bikes leaving them groaning in the street. Funny Face raced out and stunned both riders. He then disabled one of the cycles with an explosive dart and leaped onto the other one. Taking the helmet and removing his glasses he swiftly doctored up the scene. Half a dozen more cyclists came whizzing around the corner and he explained that Funny Face had stunned his companions, disabled their motorcycles and stolen his. He had also taken his black motorcycle helmet which had a tinted face mask. Then after supplying the other cyclists with the details on where Funny Face had gone, they roared off in pursuit.

Quickly picking up the working motorcycle, Funny Face leaped on and shot off in pursuit of his own quarry. The signals were coming through clearly and he knew exactly where they were! He would get all three of these drug dealers! He would! He glanced at his watch. 3 in the morning. His homing beacon would last for another 12 hours as long as he was within 3 miles of it…The motorcycle had plenty of fuel so he was geared. He put his glasses back on and raced down the street. Suddenly two motorcycles roared by. Going the other way. One of the riders glanced at his face, swore and slammed his motorcycle to a halt and began pursuit! The race for survival was on again!
