Chapter Ten

“This really isn’t my problem,” I mutter to myself again as I approach the main door to the building on shaky legs. I’d told myself this multiple times, but it appears little things like fear and good sense aren’t going to stop me apparently.

As I approach the glass and metal doors, Theo comes sprinting out at full speed, catching me by surprise. His eyes widen in alarm as he sees me out of the car. “Get back in the fucking car!” he shouts, grabbing my hand as he rushes past, dragging me back in the direction from where I’d just come. I run with him, functioning on pure panic and confusion as we sprint at full speed to the car. Loud bangs sound from above us, and I look back over my shoulder at the block of flats as I continue to run.

“Those weren’t gunshots, were they?” I ask between gasps of breath as we reach the car.

“No time,” he insists, taking a few heaving breaths of his own, bent over. He only allows for a few seconds pause before straightening back up again and throwing me the car keys I thought Three had with him. “Get back in the damn car and drive!” he shouts, before diving into the passenger side. More gunshots ring out in the air, but this time they sound closer. I get into the car.

“Where are we going?” I ask, as I bring the luxury car purring to life.

“What the fuck does it matter!?” he exclaims. “Drive!”

Not needing to be told again, I put it into gear and slam my foot down, screeching out of there. I take a few turns as I drive, speeding way above the limit in this built up area.

“Take another turn,” Theo demands, as he looks over his shoulder out through the rear window at something. I do as he asks and take the next right. A few moments later he curses, “Fuck.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Someone’s following us,” he bites out.

“What the hell happened up there?”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” He sighs and takes another look behind us through the rear window. “You need to lose them.”

“What?” I question in an incredulous tone. He can’t be serious, can he? Who does he think I am, a stunt driver? I’ve only had my damn license for less than year!

“You need to lose them,” he repeats. “This car can outpace them, no problem.”

“On a fucking track maybe!” I screech, aware that I’m already driving way too fast. What if someone steps out onto the road? What if there’s a cute dog?

“Just keep driving,” he snaps. He eyes the phone I’d left sitting on the dash as it goes skidding across on a sharp turn. He grabs it and chucks it out of the window as we speed along.

“What the hell was that for?” I demand.

“Do you want the assassins to be able to find us?” he hisses.

“When they have my brother? Yeah, actually I do!” I snap back, flooring the car when an empty stretch of road comes up ahead of us.
