Hayley never got a chance to finish her sentence.
A car rammed into them on his side.
Brian lost control of the car.
It spun wildly across the road, which was luckily empty.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion.
The car turned in a circle.
Hayley screamed.
He fought the steering wheel.
They connected with a pole.
Pain splintered through his body.
His head bounced into the airbag—which deployed as the car hit the pole—and then snapped back into the headrest.
He saw stars.
Blackness brushed the edges of his mind, trying to soak into the rest of it.
He fought against it.
Hayley was quiet.
Brian turned his head.
Cursed at the resulting pain.
Kept turning it anyway.
Saw Hayley lying slumped, unmoving, in her seat, held in place only by her seatbelt.
Had he been distracted?
Not seen another car coming until it was too late?
Or was this another ambush by Jay Turner?
It couldn’t be.
Could it?
How would Jay know they were coming?
Maria was going to turn him in. He thought he had his wife completely under his thumb, there was no way he would expect her to do that.
It was dark now.
The Christmas lights of the nearby houses were blinding him.
Where was his gun?
He needed his gun.
