Owen Blackbourne was thoroughly frustrated. When his brother and teammate, North, had to ditch his motorcycle to take down a target, fate had decided to put that bike right in a no-parking zone. The target was difficult, and Mr. Taylor Jr. was not able to remove the vehicle before non-academy police found it.
