Chapter 22

A Plan

(Olivia)

“Olivia!” Hayden screams, “get in the car!”

I tear my eyes away from the Sentinel and sprint toward Hayden’s car. The back passenger’s side door is open and Hayden is jumping into the driver’s seat. I only look back once. The furious look on the scarred Sentinel’s face propels me forward even faster. When I reach the car, I practically throw Molly into the backseat and dive in after her.

Seconds later, the sound of squealing tires accompanies Molly and I being thrown back against the seat. I want to believe we’re safe as we careen down the streets, but the headlights that appeared behind us two seconds after we pulled away made it obvious that our rescue attempt is far from over.

Mason is sprawled across the backseat. He’s conscious, but it’s clear he’s in no condition to get himself back up to sitting. He’s safe enough for the time being. Molly, now visible again thanks to grabbing Mason’s hand, is being flung around the car with every frantic turn and rapid change in speed. I know the front seat isn’t the safest place for her, especially without a booster chair, but it’s got to be better than no seatbelt at all.

“Molly,” I call out, “I need you to move to the front seat and buckle up, okay?”

Her eyes dart down to Mason. Her bottom lip tucks between her teeth as fear threatens to overcome her, but she nods quickly and starts moving. She holds onto Mason’s hand as long as she can, and I’m grateful. Buckling her in without being able to see her would have made things a little more difficult. It’s not until I lean back and start trying to get Mason back up on the seat properly that she is forced to let go. As soon as she does, the car serves sharply as Hayden sees her disappear.

“What the hell?” he demands.

“She’s still there,” I say as I struggle to get a good grip on Mason. “I’ll explain everything once we lose the people following us.”

Hayden grumbles under his breath, but says, “Fine,” as he takes another sharp turn down an empty street.

Finally, I manage to get my hands under Mason’s shoulders and I haul him up to a sitting position. His head lolls to the side and falls against the window. For a moment I’m worried that he’s passed out again, but he blinks and lifts his head a bit.

“Thanks,” he says.

I squeeze his hand tightly. “Don’t thank me yet. They’re chasing us. We have to find a way to lose them.”

“Public place,” Mason says quietly. He licks his lips like he’s thirsty and my concern for him doubles. He lost so much blood. What we need is to get him to a hospital!

I don’t want to freak Mason out, though, so I say, “Public place, huh? Isn’t that where you were supposed to go if you had to run in the first place?”

Mason manages a small smile. “Sorry. Didn’t make it.”

My heart breaks. “Mason, I’m so sorry.
