lmao you're fucked

drive through

Wait, why does Nick believe Eliot for a second? We have plenty of reason, but what does Eliot have? He has the fear of some maniacs that purportedly wanted to kill us (or perhaps just him) and some pretty words — words he JUST ADMITTED he lied about! This intricate conspiracy he's been weaving could just be something he's dreamed up to ensnare us closer into whatever kidnapping thing he's got going on, he could be Patty Hearsting us.

Drive. Not over the bridge. Drive and don't stop.

It strikes you that you've had it with being caged. You're your own man, dammit! And who's to say Eliot isn't just making this whole thing up? Maybe it's him they want to kill, not you, and you're just some meat shield to him. Yeah. That makes sense, now that you think about it. You turn the keys and hit the gas.

Be Eliot, watching this idiot just drive past you

You stand at the edge of the bridge, watching the pink Mini whip past you.

God dammit, Nick.

You rocket across the bridge towards freedom, heart pounding. A smile breaks across your face. Then you notice that just before the end of the bridge, six police cruisers lay stacked across the lanes, lights flashing. Static barks, then you hear, amplified through a megaphone so loud it can be heard over the engine, "Sir, stop where you are."
