"You still have that shotgun?""It's in the trunk," Nathan says.In the back seat, John says, "Here," and hands Scarpedin one of his pistols.Scarpedin says, "Excellent. Alright, get us closer. I'm gonna shoot out the tires.""It's an armored truck," John yells. "You can't shoot out the tires with a pistol.""Says you." Scarpedin stands up through the sun roof and fires a shot, missing completely.The armored truck is headed toward the interstate, and Nathan isn't sure whether it will head south into the city, or north onto the Lake Ponchatrain bridge -- a bridge that was heavily damaged in the hurricanes. He knows it's risky, but if he's able to drive the truck north, they have a better chance of forcing the vehicle to a stop. He checks the GPS to see where the on ramp is, then prepares himself for getting his car severely damaged.The truck is swerving, trying to keep Nathan's BMW from getting alongside. As they near the intersection next to the interstate, Nathan pushes his car in front of the truck and nudges the truck's front end, forcing it slightly to the right at just the right moment to keep the driver from safely turning left and southward. Instead the truck squeals its brakes and turns toward the north on ramp. Nathan's manuever crumples part of his front bumper and nearly sends him crashing into traffic waiting at the intersection, but he recovers and swerves through the stationary cars.Overhead, Scarpedin defiantly fires another shot. This one actually hits the truck, but has no real effect.The armored truck merges at 70 miles an hour onto the interstate, and Nathan is close behind. He sees some movement on top of the truck -- a hatch being popped open. Nathan swings his BMW to the side of the truck for a better view, and now he sees someone lifting a heavy object out of the interior of the truck. A metallic clang rings out as the person inside heaves a portable mini-gun onto the roof of the truck."That's not what I think it is," Nathan says, "is it?"Hetfield then stands up, his torso sticking out of the hatch on the roof of the armored car. He grins and waves to them, then lifts the mini-gun and fires. Nathan swerves, but bullets tear into the engine of his car. Soon the hood is smoking, and flames are trailing out from the bullet holes. His vision is obscured, and he is distracted by John and Scarpedin's shouting, so he doesn't notice when the mini-gun mercenary tosses a grenade under the front wheels of his car.The explosion that kills him snaps him out of his vision.Radio jammers, Nathan thinks. Radio jammers, and some way to stop a mini-gun.</blockquote>
