The speed wasn't going more than 100 miles an hour (90km/h). Mark was in no hurry. With no one to interfere with his plans, the silence in the car made the killer's mind be present in what he would do with the rabbit. The ideas were many and he wanted to apply them all, calmly. However, his reasoning was interrupted when, in the distance, he glimpsed lights. Confused, because all the mammals were supposed to be at the festival, he slowed down a bit to be able to see through the rear-view mirror who they were. That's when, a shot in the back glass of the car, caused Mark and Judy to instinctively deviate. The bunny bent over, and Mark tried to control the car.

"What the hell!" he grumbled between his teeth.

Meanwhile, Judy straightened up again and looked back. She recognized the vehicle that was following them.

"I told you to come alone." Mark growled between his teeth, furious.

"But I..."

Judy's words were interrupted when the wolf, without any resentment, hit her with the fist of the gun he had taken from his jacket. In the violent crash, Judy took her paws to her snout. Then she looked at her paws and saw blood. He had torn her lower lip.

In Stu's van, Jack had been begging for his life. He had never been in a chase, let alone with a crazy fox who didn't know what it was like to slow down. So, when they got almost close to the fugitive's car, Jack prayed. Furious, Nick didn't let go of the wheel, keeping a paw on him. But with the other paw free, he put the gun out of the window and fired.

"Are you crazy?" Jack fought back, shocked. "You'll end up in an accident."

"I won't do any harm to them. I just want him to slow down."

"Slow down?!" Jack repeated the same words and turned his attention to the car. "You just made him accelerate more." he said, noting that the speed from the car, had increased.

"Not for so long."

"What?"

At that moment, Nick put his foot down. Within seconds, they reached the back of the car. Forcing him to stop, the van touched the bumper several times.

"Shit!"

Mark split the word. He was really furious that he was interrupted and that the rabbit didn't keep her word.

"Say goodbye to your boyfriend."

Before the statement, Judy faced him. At that moment, she saw Mark pass the gun to the other paw, keeping the other one at the wheel. He leaned over the window, so he could look at the van. And, without delay, he positioned himself to shoot.

"NO!"

Without thinking about the consequences that followed, her reaction was to take her paws behind the wheel and pull the steering wheel towards herself. This gesture caused Mark to hit his head on the roof and the car to get out of control. However, the ex-military's rapid reaction made the car straighten out.

"YOU ARE CRAZY!"

Once again, and this time harder, he punched her, with his fist closed, over her belly. At such a violent shock, Judy spat blood. Her senses were almost lost. However, the survival instinct spoke louder. Mark was preparing to shoot again, and this time Judy didn't turn the wheel, but took her paws to the mammal's arm, trying, in a desperate attempt, to remove the gun from his paws. Exaggeratedly, he pushed her to leave him alone, but that only made the situation worse. Judy had no intention of keeping quiet. As a result, it was an ungoverned car. Taking advantage of the situation, Nick managed to stay side-by-side with the car. Several times, the two vehicles were going off the road.

"Stay STILL your crazy rabbit."

Mark shouted and wriggled, until Nick accidentally managed to get Mark in control of the car again but, when he hit his side for him to pull over, Judy gave in and she ended up, unbalanced, slamming her back on the door, violently.

"You idiot! You're just making it worse."

Jack warned him, screaming in frustration. He knew Nick's anger had taken control of his sanity. At that moment of distraction, Mark took advantage of his cue and put his foot deeper into the accelerator, giving him the advantage to get away from the van.

"I was only planning to kill you, but it looks like you'll have company for the other world."

Mark's anger was very visible in his expression. His plan had been changed, so it was costing him his job. He preferred to die because he had to spend the rest of his life behind bars. Meanwhile, Judy tried to gain strength. Her wrists began to bleed because of the tight ropes. Her energy was exhausted. Her vision was beginning to blur. However, she could not lose her strength now. She had to fight before Mark hurt her even more.

Nick was desperate. It was the second time he had seen his rabbit's life pass before his eyes. Such a thing was consuming him inside, so useless that he felt. The various attempts he made, thinking that he could provide a greater advantage, only made things worse.

"You need to be calmer. Don't let anger consume you." Jack knew it was hard to stay calm in such a situation. But if Nick doesn't stay focused, his sister's death was precise.

Calmer and, knowing that her body had regained some strength, Judy attacked Mark again. Her paws went against the wolf's arm. She wanted to remove the gun from his paw as soon as possible. With this onslaught, again, the car lost its stability. Mark tried two impossible things. To break away from it and maintain control. The rabbit's insistence was killing his nerves.

"Be quiet at once, shit!" the screams of despair, were accompanied with the flush out.

Twice, Mark succeeded. In the third, he screamed in pain when Judy bit him. Before the act, the wolf's elbow went to meet her snout. In the onslaught, he made Judy knocked on the door with her back. The blood on her nose as well as on her mouth, did not make her give up. The adrenaline rush helped her pull herself together and invest again, but this time luck didn't smile on her.

Nick had gained ground again in front of the car. This time, he didn't crash, but swerved to go side-by-side. Jack was preparing so that as soon as he reached the driver's window, the iron on his paws would go towards the mammal and then ask his sister to stop the car. If it was a good plan, of course not. But during despair, it would be the solution. However, when Nick gained ground and the cars went side-by-side. Shock, fear, sadness and anger consumed the two poor mammals. The useless feeling that they couldn't avoid it, was like a bucket of cold water. For when Judy tried the fourth time the onslaught, luck really didn't smile on her this time. Mark managed to avoid it in a quick onslaught. He pushed her away, making Judy fall on her knees. Then the gun was placed in front of her.

"Say goodbye to the world you know!

And he shot...
