âAre they the kidnappers from earlier?â Rosalynn asked with a grimace.
âI donât think so,â Brian replied.
âThe kidnappers didnât want a ransom, so thereâs reason for them to come after us again.
â
Moreover, these guys had weapons.
It was clear they werenât after their money, but their Lives!
Several bullets struck the car again.
Although bulletproof, the back window couldnât stand multiple shots fired in succession.
Looking at the huge crack in the glass, Rosalynn panicked.
âWhat should we do now, Brian?â
With a cold glint in his eyes, Brian stepped hard on the gas, sending the car forward at a high speed.
âAfter this roadway is the main road.
Weâll try to lose them when we get there,â he explained.
Just then, a loud thud came from the back of the car.
One of the tires was hit! For the first time, Brian felt panic.
The bastards were determined to get their car to stop!
If the car stopped, he and Rosalynn would have no chance to survive.
What should they do?
With a serious look on his face, Brian tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
His eyes fell on the GPS on the phone.
Making up his mind, he held Rosalynnâs hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it.
âHoney, you gotta trust me, okay? There is a corner in the road ahead.
The map shows that thereâs a bush on the right side.
Once I slow down the car at the corner, you will jump out.
Can you do it?â he instructed.
What?
He wanted her to jump out of the car?
Rosalynn widened her eyes in fear.
âWhat do you mean, Brian? Why would I jump out of the car?â
âThose bastards are intent on killing us.
If we donât make a move, we will both die,â Brian explained, his expression dark.
âOnce youâre out of the car, Iâll try to lose them.
â
Looking at Brianâs side profile, Rosalynn felt tears pool in the corners of her eyes.
Just the thought of losing him was unbearable.
Shaking her head, she clasped his free hand tightly and protested, âNo! I wonât jump out of the car, not without you!â
Brianâs heart ached at seeing her panicked eyes, but he demanded firmly, âThereâs no other way.
If we stay in the car or jump out together, we might not survive.
â
âBut I canâtâ¦â
âItâll be okay.
Thereâs not much time.
Just do it, okay?â
