Well, I was wrong about Madsen biting the dust, although that doesnāt diminish how implausible the action the past few days has been and how erratic the whole story has been the past few months!
Iām guessing that this abandoned building is just across the road from the abandoned TV station. This city has an entire neighbourhood of abandoned buildings! It looks like it has three floors, right? (Not counting any possible basement)
On Tuesday, 8/15, Madsen was standing behind the window in the television station, relatively near where Tracy stood. Tracy reported to Sam he was getting no life readings from his wrist tricorder/computer/radio/television/holographic projection/and social media device. No reading, and Madsen was close. Now Madsen has had a good head start, has been out of Tracyās line of sight. But today Tracyās miracle device can assure him itās found Madsen (and not some homeless guy crashing in the vacant building) and pinpoint direction.
Iām guessing those are āmotion linesā supposedly indicating that my boy Madsen fell? Cuz at first I thought they were pillarsā¦and how the hell is Sam supposed to know what ābuildingā tracy is talking about? And maybe itās just how Iām looking at the perspective, but that looks a HELLUVA lot more than 20 feet
2-DT: BABE?!?! IāM IN HOT PURSUIT HERE! SAM: Oh sorry, Tracy. I was talking to Officer Hotty and forgot this thing was on.
23 OTHER NEARBY OFFICERS WITH WRIST THINGEES: I could eat. Count me in. Where we going? I feel like chicken. Is it too early to have a cocktail? Someone will have to spot me ā I forgot my wallet. You ALWAYS say thatā¦
3-DT: THANKS EVERYONE! THERE GOES MY ELEMENT OF SURPRISE! Damit! I just ran two blocks and now I have to climb stairs! Hmmmmā¦
TRACY TO ALL UNITS ā SUSPECT HAS ESCAPED! STAND DOWN. And somebody drive over and pick me up. I could eat if we find a good burger somewhereā¦
Ok, back from the Urgentcareā¦ got the prescription for the inhaler done (forgot to pick it upā¦Iāll get if later), my lungs sound pretty clear, ekg is fine, oxygen levels are perfect, chest xray looks goodā¦recommended going to a PCP (my current one sucks) and have them do a CAT scan for the noduleā¦she said they couldnāt even see it on the xrayā¦aside from that (and I told her about the dizziness and the intermittent sharp pain in my neck) everything looked fine, stopped at the comic book store on the way home but the guy screwed my order and didnt pull the issue I wanted, so he reordered it for me (Alpha Flightā¦.Canadaās answer for The Avengersā¦4 issue mini-series, came out on the 16th but is sold out already), and I put air in my tiresā¦theyāre all at 34 now :)
Not quite sure why Madsen ran back into a building, where he can be trapped & cornered, after losing Tracy on the street thanx to the fire truck. But then very little has made sense since this story started in a prison, six, seven years ago now, it seems like.
I suppose Samās wrist device, like Tracyās, has a kind of GPS app that allows them to track each otherās locations. I further suppose that Leech ducked into the first abandoned building he came to āon the other side of the streetā after beating the fire engine that did, however, delay Tracy. Now, as Tracy enters the derelict multi-story office/apartment building, hotel, department store, or whatever it once was, he determines (by wrist device GPS?) that Madsen has run upstairs in his frantic attempt to escape. But running upstairs leaves Leeland cut off from further flight, by Tracy and eventually other cops below. This sets the stage for a climactic gun battle or hand-to-hand struggle up along that creepy stairwell, with a high probability of Madsen taking a fatal plunge to his messy demise (which of course we will not actually see for ourselves but only hear about, ācause weāre too delicate for such non-PC violence, fer criminy sakes!)

yeah, Mad Maddy will be doing an unintended kamikaze from the uppermost floor and do a swan dive to the ground floorā¦
and if he has enough speed to him, he might even make the basement in record timeā¦
a SPLAT of a different sortā¦

Good morningā¢, decrepit derelicts !
How far of a chase was it to get to this place ? Ā How many fire engines must a man dodge to get his stooge ?

The candy bar gave Madsen an energy rush. He beat the fire truck.
IvanB.Cohen over 1 year ago
I can see it now, a shoot-out taking place on every other floor.

Going up is never a good idea, because you have to come down some time!

Tracyville seems full of these places. Seems like the planning committee really stinks at their job

perfectā¦ heās either planning a surprise attack or he panicked, got lost and cornered himself.

So is Madsen going to make like Cagney in Angels With Dirty Faces in the abandoned warehouse? When is Father Pat OāBrien showing up?

What goes up must come down .

No Splat-sen. Instead we have a Bat-sen up there scaring the pigeons.
Maybe weāll get a Tracy shootout after all.
