Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 245

The flames leaped high into the air, quickly consuming the entire car as thick black smoke billowed across the track.

“Did the car cross the finish line? The fire’s too big, I can’t see!”

According to the rules, the entire car had to cross the line for the finish to count.

“What about J? Is J still in there?”

“Where are the safety crews? Save J!”

“Who would dare get close to a fire that big?”

As the crowd descended into panic, a second, more violent explosion ripped through the burning car.

Melvin reached the finish line just then. Without a second’s hesitation, he leaped from his car, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and charged toward the inferno. But the intense wave of heat forced him back.

“BOOM!”

The explosions continued, painting the sky a terrifying shade of orange.

“Melvin, wait!” a track official grabbed him. “The fire trucks are on their way!”

J hadn't emerged yet; the outcome was grimly obvious. Rushing in now was suicide.

“Get off me!”

Melvin’s mind was consumed with one thought: save J. He shoved the official aside and activated the extinguisher. Even if the chance was slim, he had to try.

“J!”

In the lounge, Ghoul and Kurt watched in horror as J’s car was engulfed in flames. Their faces went pale.
