Toth motored down his window and wind whipped inside the vehicle. He positioned himself on the window frame as Savannah took another tight turn. “Be careful,” she called. The plea was ridiculous. She was traveling at fifty miles per hour as he hung out the window while being shot at.
If either of them survived it’d be a miracle.
Ping,ping!
Bullets pelted the back of the SUV. She urged the vehicle to go faster.
Crack,crack,crack!
Toth returned fire. The blast of each bullet was like a clap of thunder. More gunshots sounded, and Toth ducked inside. He hissed sharply.
“Are you okay?” she cried.
“Fine. Just a close one. The road should be up ahead.”
Sure enough, the trees cleared and a road appeared at the end of the driveway. She lifted her foot off the gas pedal just slightly, made sure no one was coming, then gunned the car to the right and peeled onto the road.
Crack,crack!
A bullet smacked Toth’s side mirror. She let out a scream and ducked. Sweat dampened the back of her neck. The steering wheel grew slippery from her slick palms. The road was straighter than the driveway, allowing her to pick up more speed, but that also worked in their killers’ favor.
Toth grunted as he angled himself out the window again and fired.
Crack,crack,crack!
Savannah looked in the rearview mirror. She’d driven her foot down to the floor, but the car behind gained on them.
“They’re getting closer,” she moaned.
“It’s okay. Just keep ’er steady,” Toth replied. But a tremor shook his voice.
She watched as he reloaded his weapon. All the moisture left her mouth. She focused on the road, willing herself to put as much distance as possible between them and the car gaining on their ass.
Toth cursed as he climbed back out the window. She checked the mirror again, and the bumper of the other vehicle filled her vision.
No!
“Toth—”
“I know.”
The car switched to the left lane then shot forward, so its passenger window lined up with her window. The barrel of a gun stared at her.
“Get down!” Toth reached for her.
Crack!
She stomped on the brake. Toth flew backward, his back connecting with the dashboard. He let out a cry as the SUV skidded to a halt. The vehicle chasing them barreled forward.
“Holy shit,” he wheezed.
She hit the gas again, and her back molded to the seat. “Get their tires!” she yelled.
He climbed out the window, this time facing forward, and let off three shots rapid-fire.
Crack,crack,crack!
The car’s back tire exploded with a loud pop. Savannah let out a whoop as the driver lost control and the vehicle rolled into the ditch.
