Chapter 3: Canadian Showdown
Jack's House, San Francisco, CA
December 22nd
8:00am (Pacific Time)
The next morning, Jack's wife, Sam Harper arrives home from her business trip and finds Jenny all alone. She then walks up to her. "Good morning Jenny. Where's your father?"
"I don't know, he drove off last night to somewhere..."
Sam checks in the garage and sees that the car wasn't there. She became suspicious and decided to give Jack a call through the Koenigsegg's in-car calling system.
State of Montana
December 22nd
9:05am (Mountain Time)
Heavy snow began falling as Jack continues travelling at a high speed through the mountains, overtaking other racers and civilian traffic. He turns of the headlights and the Koenigsegg's one windshield wiper which swooshes across for better visibility. Then, Jack receives a call and Sam appears on the car's dashboard screen. "Jack, where are you?" Her voice booms through the speakers.
"I'm going to the North Pole!" Jack replies.
"Why? It's negative 40 degrees Celsius over there."
"I need to help Santa save Christmas!"
"But Jack, Santa doesn't exist..."
"Oh yes, he does!"
Sam then notices that Jack has dropped his iPhone on the floor in Jenny's room and had forgotten to bring it. She notices the text message that Jack received from the elves before he left, and began experiencing the same hypnotizing effect that all the street racers did when they read it. Sam then goes back to her conversation with Jack.
"You're right Jack, there is a Santa! Where are you now?"
"I'm in the state of Montana, nearing the border of Canada!"
"Good! Make sure you smoke those opponents and save Christmas!"
"I'm right on it!"
Jenny overhears her mom's conversation with Jack, and is overjoyed after finding that her father is helping to save Christmas.
Welcome to Canada
After the racers crossed the border into Canada, they began approaching the city of Calgary, Alberta. Jack had hopes that the Canadian police would be on horseback and will have no match against his car, but he was wrong. RCMP and the Calgary Police Department came chasing after them in all sorts of vehicles, ranging from a monstrous Ford Raptor to a Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo.
"How the hell did they afford such things?" Jack wondered. But it didn't matter, he had to get away from the police and escape the city if he wanted to win the race.
The police began using excessive force against other racers, sometimes even performing pit maneuver that ends up wrecking their rides. The heavy snow even caused some of the racers to lose control due to icy conditions, while others just gave up and pulled over, surrendering to the police as it was too much for them.
However, Jack was still on the move. He manages to dodge every single spike strips the cops threw at him, but the cops never gave up. On the Deerfoot freeway, the Gallardo Super Trofeo police unit raced right behind the Koenigsegg and rammed the back of it. Jack nearly loses control, and immediately gets off the freeway after finding that speed isn't going to save him this time with a special high speed unit on his tail. He heads through a neighbouring area.
"Target approaching to your area, set up a Code 9." The Gallardo officer informs the other units.
"10-4! Roadblock is set!"
Jack sees the roadblock ahead of him and immediately pulls a drift onto a different street. He continues looking for ways to shake the cops.
"Didn't stop him, didn't stop him!" The roadblock units informed.
"Man, this guy drives like a pro..." One of the pursuing units thought, as the Gallardo police car passes by him.
The Gallardo begins racing head to head with the Koenigsegg and tries to ram Jack from the side. However, Jack immediately slams onto the breaks. The Gallardo police car was unable to slow down, causing it to drive up a huge pile of snow on the side of the road and flipping it in the air. The police car does a barrel roll upon landing on the road before it eventually rests on its roof.
"Officer down! Officer down! Requesting EMS!" One of the pursuing units calls through the dispatch after witnessing the accident.
The RCMP Ford Raptor as well as several other units continued the pursuit. One of the officers rolls down their window with a shotgun and fires at the Koenigsegg, destroying one of its taillights. Jack quickly makes a turn onto another road where he finds a railroad crossing ahead of him where there was an approaching freight train. He floors is as the railroad gates goes down.
"Runner is taking off. We can't keep up with him!"
Jack bursts through the railroad gates at the last second. The freight train cuts off the cops, and Jack escapes the city and continues his way to the North Pole.
Well, that was the end of another major police chase of the story. I live in Calgary myself, but obviously we do not have Lamborghini police cars here. This is all part of fantasy, and after all, this is set in the Need for Speed universe.
