The Agent is scrambling up after Marduk and Dallas, and soon reaches the top. Marduk keeps firing to keep it at bay, wholst Dallas is smashing away at the ceiling with the butt of his shotgun.

"THAT one might be mad enough to follow us," says Marduk, "but the others will go straight for the exit phone."

"Well, that's why I left my bag in the car!" says Dallas.
"Hmm?"
At this point, bag, car, and most of the alleyway explode.

"No offence," says Marduk, as they pick themselves up. "But I'm planning things next time, ok?"
