“An old meeting spot from when we were teens. He’ll realize where I’m going immediately,” she replied with a wave of her hand. Sounded like a solid plan, but I only saw one car. How were we going to get there? "Do you ride motorcycles?" she then asked innocently.
"Not really. That's more my brother's thing."
Kaydence spun me around toward the back door. "It's easy. You just have to hold on."
She quickly slipped on some combat boots, as if running from an evil organization was normal to her. Tying up her blond hair, she gave me a mischievous smirk and rolled her shoulders back. "You ready? I've always wanted to do a car chase."
"Yeah, I hear they aren't as fun as they look on TV. And what about flying bullets? We'd have no protection," I stammered, knowing there wasn't really another option.
"Right. You can use my helmet," she whispered before digging in a trunk and pulling it out.
I looked at her outstretched hands, then let out a sigh. “Yeah. If you’re not wearing one, then I’m not either. Let’s do this.”
I followed her into the garage and blanched at the sporty, neon green bike parked there.
She mounted it like a skilled, sexy badass, and I kind of found myself having a slight girl crush at the sight of her. "You coming?" she asked.
"I guess I don't have a choice, huh?" I laughed nervously. Could I stall more?
I got on the back and wrapped my arms around her. She let out a puff of air and hit the button for the garage before turning the key to the powerful machine we were sitting on and revving the engine.
The moment the door was raised enough for us to fit through the opening, she peeled out of there. I might have screamed. Her phone started ringing in my pocket the moment we were on the street. I couldn't very well grab it and answer, but I hoped it was the guys realizing that we were fleeing their house.
I looked over my shoulder and watched in horror as the SUV followed after us. What if we led them to the guys? I leaned forward to tell her just that as her hair whipped me in the face.
"Let's lose them first," she yelled back before accelerating. We zipped down the street and headed toward a winding back road. Luckily, they weren't shooting at us. They were following the motorcycle, but if they wanted us dead, we were an open target.
Kaydence started weaving in and out of traffic, nearly clipping a few cars in the process. People honked. The SUV zoomed forward and drove on the shoulder. Some cars slammed on their brakes. Kaydence expertly slid between two sedans that were about to collide.
"Holy shit!" I screamed. She just leaned forward and kept going faster, faster, faster. The force of the air stung my cheeks. A Jeep up ahead flipped us off as we sped past them.
I felt like I was going to fall off every time I looked back at the SUV. It was gaining on us. "On our right!" I screamed when it cut off a truck and nearly bumped into us. I wanted to see who was in the driver's seat, but the tint was so black I couldn't see inside.
Kaydence pushed the motorcycle as hard as it would go, but they still stayed on us. "Hold on," she urged before taking a sharp left and going a different direction. I tried to lean into the chaotic turn and squeezed my eyes shut.
"They won't chase us forever. Prepare for them to start shooting soon," she yelled over the roaring machine and the roaring wind.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked while gripping tighter. Dust kicked up behind us as we went, and another car dodged out of the way, nearly slamming into the SUV. The sound of a gun firing caught my attention, and I almost pissed myself. It was loud and booming, cutting through the air. Kaydence just pressed on, heading toward an abandoned road off the highway.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"It's better I don't tell you," she screamed before swerving to avoid another motorcyclist and accelerating down the long stretch of road away from the SUV. We were gaining distance, going, going.
Another bang. Something hard and hot grazed my cheek. Trees towered overhead as we flew across the sun-bleached road. I looked behind us once more and found myself staring down the barrel of a gun. "Swerve. They're aiming at us."
Kaydence snaked left and right, dodging bullets as we went. I had a death grip on her hips. The road sloped as we climbed. The hill was steep, and I could see the leafy tops of trees below.
"Get ready!" Kaydence yelled.
"For what?"
The words died in my throat as she took a hard right and jumped off the elevated road. We were soaring through the air. Shots rang in the distance as we flew across the tops of trees and landed in a clearing. I swear to fucking God, it was like a James Bondmovie. Slow-motion action that should have been impossible. When we landed, my pelvis slammed on the leather seat and pain shot down my legs. Kaydence and I nearly knocked heads.
I looked up in a daze, my eyes straining and stinging with pained tears and shock. I couldn't see the SUV anymore through the tree canopy. "Fuck. I think we lost them," I gritted as Kaydence cut through the woods with precision. She revved the engine, and dirt kicked up behind the tires until she found a worn, cracked, paved road and barreled down it.
I couldn’t help but yelp in excitement as we went. Holy shit, that was the craziest chase of my entire life. “That was insane!”
She revved the engine in response, making me hold on tighter. "Let's catch up with our men, yeah? They're probably freaking out," she said with a laugh. Them?Iwas still freaking out. Kaydence was a motherfucking badass.
