They almost spun right into the ambulance’s way. What the fuck was Bone thinking? Mack barely had a second to think before the truck’s wheels burnt rubber Liam yet again managed to steady them. They cut in front of the ambulance right in time to avoid the oncoming truck.
“Holy shite,” Liam shouted as it whizzed by, the horn blaring in one constant honk. Mack swung around to look out the back window at the ambulance.
Mack could just barely make out Bone’s ugly mug behind the wheel, features mottled with rage. And shit, even after all this time, Mack felt a kick of terror in his guts. Bone still had that power over him.
He swung around. “Let’s end this,” he said and Liam nodded. He punched the gas even more, furthering the distance between them and the ambulance.
Then, the road clear of on-coming traffic, he spun the truck sideways, blocking both lanes of the road. There were trees on one side of the road and the lake on the other.
Nowhere for Bone to go. He had no choice but to stop.
Liam pushed open his door and jumped down. “Just in case the crazy fecker tries to go through.”
Mack nodded. But he could already see that the ambulance was slowing down. They had the bastard cornered and he knew it.
His fingers closed around his Glock as he tucked it in the back of his pants and walked around the truck to stand by Liam.
The ambulance slowed even more.
And then Bone turned it at the last moment and drove through the flimsy metal barrier into the fucking lake.
Chapter Thirty-Seven
MACK
“Calla!” Liam shouted, running to the lake’s edge after the ambulance.
Mack followed right on his heels, his heartbeat a pounding drum in his ears. Liam jumped in the water, swimming to where the ambulance was nose down and slowly sinking.
But then Mack caught sight of movement on the road.
It was Bone, crawling and then stumbling to his feet.
Motherfucker must have bailed right before sending the rig over into the lake. Mack yanked the gun out of the back of his pants and walked toward Bone.
“Mack, help! I can’t get the doors open!”
Mack looked back at Liam, in the water and yanking at the back door of the ambulance. It wasn’t giving even though Liam looked like he was yanking with all his might.
Then he looked back at Bone, who was obviously winded but was still grinning at Mack. “Yes Mackenzie, go try to rescue your girlfriend. If it’s not too late, that is.”
“You son of a—”
“Mack!” Liam screamed.
“What a dilemma,” Bone mocked, putting his fist under his chin. “Do you deal with me and let your girlfriend die? Or let me go so you can go try to save her?” He laughed. “This is why you were always so fun to play with. You cared so damn much.” He threw his hands up in the air. “What’s it gonna be, baby boy? Me or her?”
“Who says I have to choose?” Mack said coldly.
He whipped his gun around, aimed, and shot Bone’s dick off.
Then he turned and ran for Liam and Calla.
Chapter Thirty-Eight
LIAM
Liam only barely registered the gun shot behind him. He looked back, saw Mack still standing, then went back to what he was doing. The back door was locked, so he’d given up on that and swum around to the front of the ambulance. It was totally submerged. Jaysus the whole thing was sinking so damn fast. It had only been thirty or forty seconds and already the front was full of water.
