Finally, near Joshua, south of Fort Worth, Ray and Jimmy caught up with the police cars. Two Texas State Patrol vehicles were following a pickup. Ray had tuned into their frequency and already communicated with them. Now, four cars were tailing Jeff's pickup, speeding along in the traffic at about 160 kilometers per hour.
After following for a while, the State Patrol officers hadn't made their move, which seemed to suggest they were testing to see whose fuel tank would last longer.
Jimmy dialed Ray's number and asked about the Texas PIT policy. Through Ray's communication with the patrol ahead, they believed that the target vehicle hadn't exhibited behavior that severely endangered public safety yet, so they opted to continue tracking instead of executing PIT maneuvers.
Jimmy, growing impatient, called Ray again, "Ray, can we move in? Jeff is our suspect, we're here to capture him."
Ray, "Why the rush? Just keep following; I reckon he'll stop soon."
