CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Elise gripped the steering wheel tighter and took the next turn way too fast. Her car veered to the side of the road but stayed on it. Barely.

Trent’s voice sounded calm and steady in her ear. “Listen to me carefully, Elise. I’m going to get you out of this.”

Thank God for Bluetooth. There was no way she’d be able to hold the phone and drive right now. “I’m all ears.”

“Tell me where you are.”

Elise told him, giving him the name of the road she’d just crossed. “I think I’m about two miles from Highway 57.”

“Okay. Keep moving, no matter what. They might have guns. Do you understand?”

If she stopped, they might shoot her. Oh, yeah. She got the message loud and clear.

“If you have to go through a light or stop sign, hit the horn to warn people as best you can, but keep moving. I’m going to guide you to the closest police station.”

“It’s deserted out here right now. Just me, the cows, and the two guys behind me trying to kill me.”

She heard Trent talking to someone else, asked him to pull up a map on his phone.

Elise glanced in her rearview mirror. The car behind her was closing in. If they got close enough to her, they might ram into her again, and this time they might manage to knock her into a spin. Or a telephone pole.

“About a mile ahead, you’re going to cross some railroad tracks. Right after that, take your first left.”

“First left after the tracks. Got it.”

Her hands were sweating so much it was hard to hold the wheel steady. She gunned the engine, hoping that whoever had done maintenance on this rental car had been a diligent, thorough person.

“I’ve contacted the state police, and the highway patrol is on their way. Hang in there, sweetheart.”

“I’m hanging.” Just barely. “I like the sweetheart thing, by the way.”

She’d never run a stop sign in her life, but she blasted through that last one, leaning hard on her horn, even though she saw no one around.

“That’s good to know. You’re doing great. Can you see a license plate?”

Elise checked. “No front plate. Sorry.”

“What about the men? Can you see them?”

Her rearview mirror vibrated too much to make out any details. “No. Just two heads.”

The railroad tracks loomed ahead of her. The sedan behind her was only a couple of feet away from the left side of her bumper.

The gas pedal was already mashed to the floor. She couldn’t make this thing go any faster.

“I’m at the tracks,” she told Trent, just as she hit them. She went airborne for half a terrifying second before landing with a thud. The street he’d mentioned was maybe a quarter mile ahead.

Elise hit the brake so she could make the turn. The car behind her tapped her bumper, knocking her into a turn too early.

Her rental car whipped around. She panicked and crammed her foot down on the brake as she tried to control the spin. She heard herself screaming, heard the tires doing the same.
