Read by Mark Bramhall.
It starts as a normal day on the New York subway, but the normality is interrupted by the hijacking of a train, on the number 6 line. Four men armed with submachine guns detach the lead car of the train and take it and 18 hostages into a tunnel. The hijackers are: leader Ryder, a former mercenary; Longman, a disgruntled former motorman; Welcome, a violent former Mafia thug; and Steever, a powerful, laconic brute. They threaten to execute the hostages unless the city pays a million dollars in ransom. While the city rushes to comply, transit police try to puzzle out the hijackers' plan. They don't realize that Longman has figured out how to bypass the "dead-man's switch," allowing the car to speed along the track by itself (with the police chasing it while driving on surface streets) while the hijackers escape through an emergency exit.
