I frowned, pressing down harder. Still nothing.

The car kept moving, faster now, as I slammed my foot down on the pedal again. I yanked at the steering wheel, trying to get the car to slow

I tried the brakes again. Nothing. The car sped forward, the scenery a blur around me as the city lights grew further away.

“Come on!” I growled, slamming my foot down one last time. Nothing but dead air.

This wasn’t an accident. It couldn’t be.

Someone had done this.

The thought hit me like a freight train. This was no coincidence He must’ve had something to do with it. That must have been one of the rea I didn’t think he fought this low.
