A sharp U-turn. They mustn't see you.

You grab the wheel with both hands and bring the car around in a sharp U-turn. Tires are screeching. They surely leave a black mark on the street. Then you push your foot to the pedal and speed up to avoid the police car.

After a few seconds you hear the siren behind you and you realise that this was probably a very stupid idea. If your goal was not to draw any attention, you have failed miserably. At least you're still ahead of them - but for how long? Can you outpace a police car? Certainly not, right?

The siren blares and they seem to gain on you. Fuck, you think. Fuck, fuck, that was utterly, utterly stupid! But there's no chance to change your mind now. You have passed the point of no return. Your car speeds up even more, everything turns into a blur.

Then, suddenly, you see a clearing ahead in the forest. A gravel road turns right into the woods. Madness, you curse, madness! But your mind is set. You grab the steering wheel tight, swing the car around and race into the forest, along the gravel road. They will see the dust, you think. They will follow me. I am trapped. There's no way you can keep up your former speed here on this rocky path.

You hear the siren approach and pass. The police car races straight on along the highway. The sound of the siren fades. You notice that you are sweating. They will soon notice that you are not ahead anymore, you think. And then they will turn around. This is not over yet.
