The Dare Club: Part 3

By VINCE FORD

"Die you scumbags!" Adam cried, immediately swinging into action. He fired across the grapefruit tree, swung around to take out an enemy letterbox then scored a direct hit on a power pole.

Finn grinned and shook his head. "Easy - you'll run out of water."

"Cover me," Adam yelled, letting off a round at a passing cat then racing ahead to take cover behind a van, outside the gates to the park. A car cruised past and Adams stared wildly at it. "That's not fair, they've got tanks!"

"Dare you to get the next one that goes past," laughed Finn.

"Yes sir!" Adam yelled, pumping the cannon and listening for an engine. Finn heard the throaty growl of the V8 before Adam did and saw the car approaching them.

"Ad!" he called urgently. "Don't do it."
