Chapter 13
“Boss?” Lucas called.
I teared my gaze away from Aria’s and focused on Lucas before replying, “Yeah, Lucas?”
“I think we’re being followed.” Lucas replied, his gaze shifting from the rear view mirror to the side view mirror of the car.
“Shit.”
I sat up straighter than I was a moment ago and turned in my seat until I was glancing behind our moving car for any vehicle that Lucas seemed to be tailing about and alas, a car that looked just like mine was a few feet behind us.
Returning back to my former position, I said to Lucas, “Change destinations, let’s take the second trail to the safe house, and try to lose the car tailing ours.”
“Alright boss,” Lucas replied just as he increased the speed of the car in folds and swerved into a corner at the very last minute, heading for the safe house.
The ringing of my phone made me tear my gaze away from the car behind us who was now racing for ours and accepted the call on seeing who it was.
“Yeah, Tristan?”
“I started the questioning with Daven and Mike since who were taking too long to get here and I’ve just been having a bad feeling about all these. Turns out the guys accent were thick as fuck and very much Russian. They all refused to talk and kept on muttering a word in a language we couldn’t understand. All are dead except the last one and it seems like he’s not going to talk too, it seems like they all took an oath or something.”
“Fuck this shit. The fuck we have Russian enemies now? We didn’t do anything to them, so why the hell are they after us?” I demanded roughly.
“I honestly don’t know. Are you done with the police? You gon’ be home soon, right?” Tristan asked.
“Tristan… you’re not going to believe this but my car is being followed by a car that looks so much like mine, and it’s hell bent on not losing us.” I said around a sarcastic chuckle.
“Whoa crap. Who the hell are these people?”
“Beats me because I have no idea. We’re heading to the safe house, I don’t think our home is safe anymore. Can you guys pack a few essentials and some laptops and head over to the safe house?” I inquired the moment the thought popped into my head.
“Oh. We could because I don’t think it’s safe either.” Tristan replied, agreeing with me immediately.
“Take some of the guards, and three cars. One with two guards should lead the way, then the second car should have Daven driving, ready to shoot anything and Nicole, sleeping in the back seat. Then the third one should have Esther driving, and two more guards with her ready to shoot to cover y’all from behind.” I rattled off the plan which he was to follow while he took note in his head, agreeing to some things and popping in his opinion in some and in no time, he promised to be on his way to the safe house while the remaining guards are to stay behind, guarding the house like there was someone inside whom they were protecting.
Inserting my phone back into my pocket, I sat up and turned around on the car seat to check if we were still being followed, turns out the car which was tailing is is no longer one but two cars who were driving at a very fast pace towards us.
“Drive faster, Lucas! They’re almost reaching us.” I ordered Lucas who increased the speed to the very highest gauge until we were flying in full speed. The cars hell bent on catching us increased their speed iftoo until we were all almost side by side, I’ve got to admit, these people have good damn drivers.
Cars raced off the road on seeing how fast we were riding to avoid getting hit on by mistake.
“Lucas, go left, let’s stall them.”
Lucas turned left at the very last minute and I watched one of the car’s speed off the direction we were heading to a second ago while the second one didn’t miss a beat. The car which sped off in the wrong direction finally showed up but couldn’t get directly behind us since two random cars already took over his vacated spot.
“These people are not giving up, damn it. We’d be out of gas soon,” Lucas stated without slowing down. I guess we’d have to bring the big guns in now.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Shoving my hands beneath the driver’s seat, I dug out the two guns lying under it, guns were arranged under the whole seats of the car Incase of any emergencies.
“You guys have so many enemies, what did you even do to them to begin with?” Aria, whom I’ve already forgotten about muttered, she was kneeling on the car seat with her eyes glued on the cars which were still trying to get to us, I expected her to be cowering in her seat and not this curiosity.
“Believe me, we don’t have a lot of enemies, I don’t just know what’s happening either.” I replied as I checked both guns to ensure they were fully loaded with bullets.
“You have guns everywhere too?” Aria inquired, her gaze fixed on the two guns I was fiddling with.
“Every necessary places, yes.”
“Fuck my life,” Aria groaned out.
I’d do so right here and right now if I was not trying to not die on the road with my brother still kidnapped in some unknown place. I said to myself as I glanced behind the car.
The first car was already almost beside ours while the second one was directly behind us.
“Crawl over here, Aria.” I said to Aria who did so immediately without asking unnecessary questions, thankfully.
“Unlock this door, Lucas,” I said to Lucas as I positioned myself on the floor beside the door. The moment the door got unlocked, I pushed it open and stretched out my right hand, aiming for the tires if the car which was behind us and shot three holes each in the two front tires. I watched as the car glided to a slow stop and grinned in glee before pulling my head and hand back into the car when the driver rolled down his window immediately and tried shooting at my face, he missed and instead met the body of the car which was bullet proof to begin with.
