When the coast looks clear, you clamber out of the ditch and move forward, crouching as you run, your eyes fixed on a shadowy archway ahead. You have covered only a few yards when you hear a faint noise somewhere on the freeway above. There is a flash, and then a beam of torchlight pours down from the barrier parapet and sweeps across your path.
