Avenue D

Thanks to the van hit, Davey goes on DEA’s and NYPD’s radar around the same time we learn about him through Big Arthur Washington’s rampage. One afternoon the Feds get lucky and put together a six-vehicle surveillance that tracks Davey’s black Mercedes from Avenue D into Queens. On the Fifty-ninth Street Bridge Davey makes the surveillance team and uses a new weapon he’s recently acquired to cut them loose—a cell phone. Davey makes two calls and a little while later he’s flanked by a Jeep and a town car. On cue the Jeep and town car block two lanes of traffic, Davey runs a red light, floors it and is gone. At least at first.

The DEA team radio each other, comb the immediate area but can’t find a trace of Davey’s car and in the process lose the other two vehicles. The team breaks up and the DEA agents all take the long way back to Midtown still hoping to catch Davey by accident along the way. Davey hasn’t vanished completely. He spots one of the DEA tails going by and decides to do a role reversal. After a few blocks the young agent driving the car Davey spotted realizes he’s being followed. He then realizes the car following him is Davey’s. He gets on his radio and sends a mayday out to the other five cars, but they’re scattered all over Queens and can’t get to him. Davey’s on the agent’s bumper now. The young guy looks into his rearview and turns around but can only see tinted windshield. The Jeep and the town car join him. Davey cranks up his stereo and the vibrations travel bumper to bumper. The agent has his gun out on the seat next to him. Suddenly he spots the light fixture of a police precinct. The agent floors it, and nearly wipes out a cop standing on the precinct steps when he screeches to a halt and runs inside, gun in hand. In a moment he’s back out again with two uniforms in tow. Davey’s gone. So are the Jeep and the town car. All that’s left of them is black paint on a government bumper.
