Bullets slam into the ground close to where you lie, spattering your face with chips of sticky asphalt. Rickenbacker returns fire, buying you enough time to roll back behind the cover of the clansmen’s car. You have only just clambered to your knees when the chattering of your partner’s machine pistol stops in mid-burst, and you hear him cursing as frantically he struggles to extract a dud cartridge that has jammed in the breech.

Seconds later, the shadowy figure reappears in the doorway clutching a gun at hip level.

If you wish to open fire at this target, turn to 25.

If you choose not to open fire, turn to 334.
