Matteo didnât feel sorry for her.
Those who hurt others also hurt themselves.
Matteo dragged Lauren to the roadside, informed the authorities, and then resumed following the SUV.
The threat of the SUV wasnât done yet.
Mitchel wobbled by the door, his body almost hanging in the air, a risky situation.
âMitchel!â Raegan cried out, fraught with concern.
Trapped by her seatbelt, Raegan could only observe Mitchel through the rearview mirror.
âDonât worry.
â Mitchelâs voice, steady and deep, tried to soothe her even in the chaos.
The digital timer on the dashboard was ticking down, with only 15 minutes remaining.
Tears flowed, and Raegan sobbed.
âI canât control it⦠Mitchel⦠I canât⦠Get out of the carâ¦â
Dabbing at her eyes, Raegan insisted, âMitchel, as soon as we reach the dirt fields, you need to jump out.
â
Mitchel disregarded Raeganâs plea.
Holding his breath, Mitchel extended his long legs, attempting to hook onto the carâs door frame.
However, the carâs sudden jolt nearly threw Mitchel off balance due to inertia.
After failing in his initial attempt, Mitchel took a few deep breaths and shifted tactics, climbing from the door up onto the roof.
Raeganâs face paled with terror.
Realizing her pleas were futile, she gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the steering wheel, striving to keep the car steady.
Finally, with a âbang,â Mitchel vaulted onto the roof of the car and swiftly climbed through the sunroof into the car.
Raeganâs face, still pale with shock, betrayed her unease.
Mitchel wanted to embrace her, but seeing the countdown timer, he held back.
He quickly connected a device and then spoke into a Bluetooth earpiece, addressing Matteo, âHowâs it going?â
Within moments, Matteoâs anxious voice crackled through, âMr.
Dixon, there are explosives!â
Mitchelâs heart sank.
Matteo continued, âTheyâre under the driverâs seat, enough to level a skyscr@per.
â
Under the driverâs seat? Mitchelâs typically composed demeanor turned ashen.
Luckily, Raegan hadnât moved from her seat.
âHow do we handle this?â Mitchelâs voice was cold and controlled.
