Sergeant Cross.
In this case the important phrase is "may wind up", to rephrase this:
When your heat gets high enough, "there is a chance that you will be"
getting chased by Seargent Cross.
An examples to explain this usage of "may wind up":
If you touch something that may be very hot, you "may wind up" getting burned.
Note that "wind up" has multiple meanings (isn't English fun for non-native
English speakers?).
Another usage of "wind up" is similar to a pratical joke, where the goal
is to state that if someone does a particular act, that person will be rewarded
for the act, but it's a lie. Normally the act is something very difficult, so
that the person will spend a lot of time trying to do the act. For example,
tell someone that if they play NFS:Most Wanted on the most difficult
setting, never reset, and win all events, that several super powerful
hidden cars will be unlocked. The point is that this is a lie, and
it's called a "wind up", similar to winding up a toy so the toy does
something for a long while.
