expensive shopping malls in one side and the other side contained a sea of cars itching to move. So you could not blame the man for not hearing anything.
    ‘Hey you’ Ryan overtook another man but was being bumped with others, as the sidewalk was too crowded.
    They would have lost him in the middle but this time the man must have heard Ryan call him. That was why he stooped. And because he stopped it was easy for them to cover up a few yards and reach him.
    The man turned back to face him and Ryan and others, as they understood that they found the right man. This was the man who left his fingerprints in Jade Carter’s car.
    ‘Yes?’ the man said with a blank surprised face.
    ‘Henry Roberts?’
    ‘Yes, that’s me....’
    Alicia showed him the badge and said ‘NYPD, we need to talk’
    The man didn’t say anything he just took one look at the badge made a face full of terror and to their surprise started running down the side walk pushing the other people out of his way.
    ‘NYPD, stop!’ Alicia yelled again but it was no use. They soon took their gun out and started running behind him. They didn’t have any other option. And they could not afford to lose a vital suspect at this moment.
    They ran behind him holding their breath and galloped through the sidewalk where it was even tough to walk , they had to run .They felt more hot as they ran, Ryan wore a Navy blue blazer and Kevin wore a jacket, so did Alicia, which was trapping more heat and making them feel warmer.
    Their target had no intention to stop and give him away; he continued running and ran hard. He might be a little short in height but he had good solid legs, which carried him swiftly, even Usain Blot or Yohan Blake would not be able to run in this position.
    The crowd and the cars were bored, but soon they all came alive .Now more or less everyone was standing outside their cars and was watching them chase their target.
    A suspect or fugitive running away and some agents or detectives persuading him, you don’t see this kind of thing often.
    But they were not paying attention to the people who were stupidly looking at them without trying to help them stop their suspect, they ran behind Roberts holding their breath and pushing people away by any means possible.
    The man now took the main road, maybe he was also feeling tired running in the sidewalk that’s why he decided to run through the main road where at least a 100 cars were stranded at present. But it seemed like he was used to this kind of running, he was not having much problem dozing the cars, sometimes jumping over them and overcoming the incoming obstructions, .But it was more difficult for the detectives to do so .They were often getting hit, sometimes they were tripping and falling down, but they chased him anyway.
    Kevin was the fastest in their group so he took the lead and ran behind him without fumbling much. Ryan and Alicia were clearly having a hard time and they could feel their legs giving away, and they were feeling so hot now that they would gladly welcome a sunstroke rather than running one more mile.
    But their opponent was still fit and was still ahead of them, there was not a sign of panting for breath or something like that.
    Alicia only once stood and aimed her gun at Roberts’s leg and took a shot .But the bullet missed the target and bounced of hitting the roof of a car. The owner came out and yelled at her. From then on Alicia never stopped to take a shot, as she knew it would not be helpful.
    Alicia and Ryan felt more irritated because if all those people had contributed in stopping their suspect rather than watching them, as if a movie shooting was going on, then it would have been much more easier.
    Henry Roberts knew that these cops couldn’t outrun him .But he just could not continue like this. He needed to lose them and stop this thing. He looked around thinking about where could he go next, and nearly fell being hit on the head by the rear of a car, but he
