"...Alright. We can't rule out any possibilities yet. Air Unit 07. Are you still in pursuit?..."
"...Yes Command. I'm still have visual on the suspect. He is going around 160 now and still shows no sign of slowing down. Can't be too long before he has to stop for... NO WAY!!..."

"...Yea...Yes Command. But, it can't be possible!. The suspect has just dissappeared!..."
"...Did he go under you or get off an exit?..."
"...No...No...I mean, he just...Disappeared!..."
"...Air Unit 07. Please explain..."
"...Well, he was going down the interstate. When all the sudden, a light started to shine around him. At first I thought the sun was shining on him. But then it kept getting brighter and brighter.

"So, is that all the recordings we have off of this pursuit?" A man said as he light a cigarette.
"Yes Detective Darwin. Besides all the useless talk the officers had with one another. We took the most important recordings and filed into this audio." A man in a chair stated. "So what is to be done now?"
"What else." Said Detective Darwin as he puffed out a line of smoke. "We will hunt this animal down and bring him to justice." Detective Darwin turned around and headed towards the door. He got to the doorknob and twisted it around. He opened the door and stepped into the hallway. Before closing it, he turned around to the man inside the room.
"I will never let another child suffer death at the hands of a criminal. I failed one once and that is never going to happen again!" He said as he slammed the door to a complete close, leaving the man in the room to tend to his recordings.
Detective Darwin walked toward the exit of the building he was in. He pushed open the double doors and walked down the stairs to his car. He opened the driver side door and got in his vehicle. He slammed that door shut and put his key into the ignition.
"So, a magician has finally showed himself." He said as he turned the ignition over and started the car. He put it into drive and then proceeded to drive down the street, toward the horizon of the setting sun.
