The police hovercar turning the corner

You are momentarily dazzled looking back over your shoulder by the police hover-cars spotlight, as it turns to shine in your direction. Luckily you were right about the obstacles, and you seem to be widening the gap in these tight alleys.

The hover-car will surely be **** to gain altitude to continue pursuit. Hopefully you can lose them properly once they break line of sight with you, you think.

"This is your last warning!" comes the woman's voice through the loudspeaker. "Halt or we fire!"

Their hover-car is armed? You didn't consider that possibility. In this reality, who knows what armaments it may have.
