- <p>The incessant noise of the dogs is making your stomach churn. Then you catch sight of them<ch.emdash/>two slack-jowled bloodhounds<ch.emdash/>padding their way across the Montana Road with two clansmen close behind. One of the men is carrying a machine pistol, the other a long-handled flashlight.</p>
+ <p>The incessant noise of the dogs is making your stomach churn. Then you catch sight of them<ch.emdash/>two slack-jowled bloodhounds<ch.emdash/>padding their way across Montana Avenue with two clansmen close behind. One of the men is carrying a machine pistol, the other a long-handled flashlight.</p>
<p><quote>Run for it!</quote> you hiss, pointing towards the ruins. Knott turns and sprints away. As soon as he is clear of the ditch, the dogs begin to bark wildly, alerting their handlers to your position. You scramble out and follow your partner, praying that you will reach cover before the clansmen see you and open fire. Your prayers are answered. In his haste the clansman drops his flashlight, and before he can retrieve it and switch it on, you follow Knott through the open door of a derelict building.</p>
<p><quote>We stand a better chance if we split up,</quote> you say, casting an anxious glance over your shoulder at the yellow light that is now streaming through the doorway. <quote>But remember<ch.emdash/>meet up at the bridge as planned.</quote></p>
<p>The torchlight illuminates the interior sufficiently for you to be able to make out two possible exits: a carpeted staircase leading to the first floor, and another leading down to the basement.</p>
<p>As the dust-blown stores and houses of the derelict Mexican town trail away behind the truck, it becomes obvious that the place is deserted. Knott arrives at the same conclusion and decreases speed as he prepares to turn off the main highway. The truck crosses a bridge then swings to the right and stops beside a store that lost its roof long ago.</p>
<p><quote>They<ch.apos/>re still with us, captain,</quote> said Haskell, staring across the dry river bed at the group of headlights, as the bikers enter the town.</p>
<p><quote>Not for long,</quote> Frankland growls, his voice harsh and determined. <quote>Spread out and find some cover. We<ch.apos/>ll take <ch.rsquot/>em as they come over the bridge.</quote></p>
- <p>Quickly you move away from the truck and scour the darkness, straining your eyes to find a place to hide that also has an unobstructed view of the bridge. You can see only two such places, both far from ideal. One is a gas pump, standing on the forecourt of a gas station directly opposite the bridge: the other is an industrial trash can, abandoned at the side of the bridge<ch.apos/>s exit ramp.</p>

<p><quote>OK, Cal,</quote> says the captain. <quote>Me and the sergeant<ch.apos/>ll take the scenic route. We<ch.apos/>ll go first. Give us time to clear the zone then wait five minutes before you and Knott make your move. Is that clear?</quote></p>
<p><quote>No problem,</quote> you reply, confidently. <quote>We<ch.apos/>ll meet up at the toll bridge at 0100 hours.</quote></p>
- <p>With bated breath you watch as the two soldiers slip over the perimeter wall and crawl away from the safety of Fort Bliss. Expertly they merge with the broken wasteland so that you soon find it impossible to track their path, leading to an elevated section of Highway 54. Fifteen minutes later, all is still as quiet as the grave. You are sure that they have made it across the zone by now, and so you motion to Marine Knott to follow as you lower yourself head-first over the rampart and propel yourself across the rocky ground using only your elbows and knees.</p>
- <p>The faint moonlight serves both to help and hinder your progress as you inch your way towards the Montana Road, a highway that runs 100 yards in front of, and parallel to, the clansmen<ch.apos/>s position. Every move you make is slow and deliberate as though the ground were strewn with eggs, so urgent is the need to prevent dust from betraying your position. Eventually you reach a shallow ditch bordering the highway and you use it as cover as you advance towards a group of ruined buildings at the edge of the city. You are less than twenty yards from the ruins when you are frozen by the sound of howling dogs. They are clan bloodhounds and they have picked up your scent on the warm night air.</p>

<p>With your pulse racing, you peer over the edge of the ditch, seeking to catch a clear view of the enemy. You cannot see them, but you can hear them approaching fast. You must act quickly if you are to avoid being caught by the hounds and their handlers.</p>

<p>You are beginning to fear the worst when suddenly both dogs smell the meat and bound towards it. The clansmen curse them, but, before they can pull them away from their meal, you and Knott reach the open door of a derelict building and slip inside unseen. Although the interior is dark and dusty, you are able to discover an exit on the far side of the building and escape before the enemy has a chance to catch up.</p>

<p>He paces the main street, shaking his fist at the buildings on either side, demanding that his men fulfil his lust for revenge. They storm the building on which you hide and at once you begin looking for a way out.</p>

<p>One of the dogs smells the meat and bounds towards it, but the other ignores his brother and continues to lead his torch-wielding handler straight towards you. He sees you, and begins to bark wildly, alerting his handler to your presence.</p>
