The oncoming fleet had expertise in the realm of aggressive takedowns.

The first vehicle to catch up to them was an identical black Brabus with tinted windows and a vicious bull bar attached to the front, but the guy behind the wheel was much more adept at tackling the weight of the truck than King was.

So he came in at an angle, expertly weaving toward them, and at the last second he twisted the wheel tight and the enemy vehicle steamed toward them from the side.

‘King,’ Slater yelled.

Too late.

King braked at the last second, attempting to outmanoeuvre the oncoming truck, but it proved futile. He only served to worsen the blow. Slater didn’t blame him — this was a brutal and barbaric realm to learn how to handle such a massive vehicle, and Slater knew he wouldn’t have fared any better.

But understanding why it had happened didn’t change the consequences.

The enemy vehicle caught them in the driver’s side door, coming in from the right, crushing against the armour plating. Steel met steel and sparks flew, and King recoiled away from the window.

He had the bulletproof glass pane raised, so when three rounds impacted the glass right near his head and splintered into a trio of spider-webs, he came away with his head intact.

Slater gripped his carbine and vaulted out of his seat, leaping through the narrow gap above the centre console into the rear seats. He sprawled out across the leather, almost tumbling into the footwell from the inertia as the Brabus screeched and careened across the highway.

He found the electronic button that controlled the right-hand window and pushed it halfway down. He shoved the M4’s barrel through the narrow crack and let off a volley at the enemy vehicle, the big beast still grinding and pressing into their side.

The passenger in that vehicle was leaning out the window, almost half his body extended into empty space, a carbine of his own in his hand.

Slater saw the determination in his dark eyes, and spotted the sharp jawline and hair shaved to the scalp.

Ex-military.

Guns for hire.

Slater worked his aim to the left, and squeezed the trigger again from his makeshift bunker, and caught the passenger in the forehead.

He didn’t actually see the bullet strike home — there was too much happening.

Too many variables.

King fought for control of the truck, and the metal on the right side of the chassis groaned, and the enemy vehicle continued its attempts to force them off the road. But amidst all that the passenger’s head snapped back like someone had tugged it on an invisible wire, and a spout of crimson blew out the back of his skull, and then his body overextended and tumbled out the open window. It disappeared under the truck, squashed like a rag doll, and wound up somewhere on the other side to be run over again by the fleet of charging vehicles.

Then the rear window on the enemy vehicle buzzed down and a volley of shots came right at Slater. He recoiled away from the window frame, but a couple of rounds made their way through.
