the Lewes one-way system, and Rune's assistant Rizla had foolishly done so. Rune's jinx caused the car to suffer a puncture, and as Norris was unable to leave the car himself he was forced to allow Rizla to leave so that he might change the tire. Despite promising he would, Rizla took the opportunity to escape, for which Norris cursed him so that he was unable to find his way out of Lewes.
