Chapter Eleven

“Buckle up,” Harris said, as Jo opened her jacket and slid her gun from her holster. “And hold on tight.”

They were in the left lane of the three-lane highway. Harris increased his speed. The car purred along barely making a sound. When the car in front wouldn’t move out of his way, Harris veered to the next lane, cutting off an SUV. Harris then swung the sedan back to the left lane to the tune of the SUV’s blasting horn.

Jo twisted to look out the rear window. The black Escalade, three cars behind in the middle lane sped up also, swinging to the right lane to pass slower moving vehicles, before shifting back to the middle.

Harris increased his speed again. Jo leaned as far as her seatbelt allowed and glimpsed the speedometer. Eighty, climbing to eighty-five. The smooth ride of the car belied their speed. She glanced at Franco to find him watching her. Rather than look frightened, as she’d expected, he smiled.

“You’re enjoying this,” she said.

“I’ve gone faster. I owned a Ferrari before I wrecked it.” His smile faded. “I don’t enjoy someone trying to kill me though.”

“Sonofabitch,” Harris snarled. “Damn SOB is sticking with me. And damn these slow-moving jackasses in front of me.”

Jo gripped the edge of her seat as the Town Car swerved to the middle lane and back again.

“There’s an exit up ahead,” Harris yelled.

“You’ll never get over in time,” Jo said. “There are too many cars in the other two lanes.”

“Have faith in me, darlin’.”

Harris gave it gas. The car shot ahead, darted to the middle lane, then back to the left. The exit loomed ahead, coming closer and closer. At the last second, in one swift maneuver, Harris managed to steer the car over three lanes of traffic to the exit. Horns blared behind him. The car fishtailed down the exit lane. Harris fought to steady the large vehicle. It finally stabilized and Jo exhaled a relieved breath.

They sailed through the toll booth with their electronic pass. Harris looked into the rearview mirror. “We lost the SOB.” He pulled into the parking lot of a strip mall and eased the car into a spot. With the car idling, he turned to them.

Franco unbuckled his belt and leaned forward, resting his arm on the back of Harris’ seat. “You’re a hell of a driver, man. A real pro. Good job.”

Harris shrugged. “I’ve had some practice.”

“I think my heart’s stuck somewhere in my throat,” Jo said.

“C’mon, Jo. Have I ever let you down?” Harris asked.

She chuckled. “No, but there’s always a first time.” She released her belt. “Sheesh. When I get home, I’m trading in my Corvette for a nice, staid sedan.”

Franco stared at her. Jo suppressed a grin at the shocked look on his face.

“You have a Corvette?”

She shrugged. “It’s my one indulgence.”

“You never fail to surprise me, Fortune.” His devilish and sexy smile set her blood to boiling. “Sure that’s your only indulgence?” he asked in a husky voice. “I suspect you’ve got a few more.
