    About this ebook

    Patrolman Jones goes to an accident on 1st avenue. Arriving he finds eight cars spread all over both lanes of traffic. He watches as a truck rams a car up on the sidewalk and then goes after a stalled car in the north bound lanes. Jones sees no drivers in any of the cars.
    Jones grabs his shotgun and tries to shoot out the engine of the car trying to ram him; Jones uses his 45 Colt to finally stops it. Jones runs to his car, jumps aside, and his car is rammed out of the intersection.
    When he and his car are out of the intersection, the attacks stop, and the eight cars stop moving. No one believes what is happening. Jones is made the incident Commander and orders the 4100 block off limits to everyone.
    Colonel Hill is called for help, “The best I can do is send four fully armed fighters to destroy the entire block. You had better figure at least three-square blocks.”
    Will the Colonel have a plan to disable every car with electric shock?
    What can Detective Rage do to help?
    Have the rouge cars figured out a way to escape from the blockade Jones and the police have set up? What will happen if they get to the freeway?

      Chapter 1 The Accident

      Jones is out on patrol. It has been a slow day with the sun shining. In Seattle, any sunshine is a lot.

      Over the radio, Accident at 4150 1st avenue south. Unconfirmed reports of multiple cars.

      He flips on his lights, Patrolman Jones, car SC1438 here, I am a mile from the accident traveling south on 1st.

      In a minute he sees the accident is south of the intersection. He pulls into the intersection to stop everyone from coming in. There are wrecked cars in both lanes of 1st avenue, sideways or facing the wrong direction.

      Dispatch, we are going to need four tow trucks and send backup. Block 1st avenue in both directions north and south. This is going to take hours to sort out.

      Dispatch hears the unbelief in his voice, A newer truck has started up and just rammed a car up on the sidewalk. He is backing up and going to hit another car. Both have people in them. He is now backup up again and going to ram another car in the north bound lanes.

      I have my shotgun; he is not going to ram any more cars.

      The dashboard camera is recording all the collisions.

      Jones starts toward the truck, when it squeals around and points straight at him. His mike is open; the driver is slouched over the steering wheel, Here he comes.

      Jones holds his position until the last second. He fakes right and goes left. The truck runs over the spot on his right where he faked, he would have been. Jones unloads four rounds into the side of the pickup’s engine compartment. The truck slides to a stop and starts to back up toward him. The tires are smoking, trying to get traction.

      Jones fires the last three rounds into the back tires which does not seems to slow down the truck. This was more than a brush but less than a hit. Jones comes up out of the roll with his Colt pounding the engine compartment. The motor sputters, coughs, and finally dies 30-feet from
