"It's a Mi Amigo!" Rauli said as he took his phone out and pointed at the road. His mates, who had been watching him try and get out of his car for the last five minutes, looked at the line of cop cars speeding past them in the opposite direction. No one moved.

"What?" one of them asked.

"Mi Amigo!" Rauli repeated, pointing at the traffic ahead of him.

"You sure it's not just a high speed chase?" another mate asked. "That happens here all the time."

"Nah, this is my mate! I know this guy," Rauli said as he pointed his finger again. He was about to bolt for the highway when two police officers ran past him and blocked his path.

"Stop that man! He's dangerous," one shouted at Rauli. The officers took off running again.

"What the hell? You almost got me shot man," Rauli said as he pointed his finger down at the ground and pretended to shoot at the cops with an invisible gun like they do in America. "I'm going to call you 'Cookie Monster' from now on."

The four men jumped back into their car and sped after the police cars, which were still in hot pursuit of ... something. As they drove past dozens of officers chasing someone on foot, they finally came upon a pile up in front of them.

"Oh no, it looks like Cookie Monster did it again!" Rauli yelled out as he leapt out of the car and ran toward the middle of the pile up, who ever was being chased by all those cops must have done something really bad! The three other men jumped out of their car as well and ran after Rauli until they reached him, who was standing in between two overturned police cars holding his arms out like an airplane. They looked around, but there didn't seem to be any sign of what had caused all this chaos, or even where Cookie Monster was running from - though judging by how fast these police cars were driving that was probably a good thing! One of them opened up a can of beer and started drinking it until he heard a siren coming towards them from behind them. He threw his can down quickly, opened up another one, and chugged it down just as fast as he had done before. He tossed both cans over his shoulder and turned around to see what was making that noise - only to be hit square on by a car flying through the air!

Rauli heard crunching noises as metal collided with metal and then glass shattering as a car flew over his head and crashed straight into another police cruiser that had pulled over alongside them! The four men screamed at the top of their lungs and covered their heads with their hands as pieces of metal began falling around them! The two cops who had been chasing Cookie Monster ran up behind them just in time to see their own patrol car fly over their heads and crash into a third cruiser that had come to help stop Cookie Monster! All six men fell flat on their faces while debris continued to rain down on them from above! Just seconds later everything went silent except for their heavy breathing. Slowly they began looking up to assess how many limbs they might have lost when they heard someone yelling at them angrily in Spanish - then saw four more police cars flying right towards them like missiles being launched by a military jet!
