Sergei

When he saw the car in front of them swerving wildly across the road his first thought had been they were being ambushed.

But when Dima swerved as well and swore he realised the car in front of them had hit whatever he had swerved to avoid.

“What the fuck was that?” Ilya snarled.

“Fucking rocks in the road. The car in front of us hit them. The driver is clever not to stop. Someone is obviously waiting out there in the dark. I’ll follow and see if they need help. It looks like the impact took out the front left tyre because there’s sparks coming from that side of the car.”

Ilya leant forward and peered at the car that was slowly driving and swerving in the road ahead of them.

“Fuck. We need to pull them over. There’s flames under there.” He said.

“Go.” Sergei leant forward, watching the car ahead of them.

The big SUV growled as it lunged forward.

When they pulled up next to the car he saw the frightened eyes of the woman behind the wheel.

“Ilya, tell her to stop, her car is on fire.” He ordered.

His friend did as told, wound his window down and shouted at the frightened woman, pointing at the front of her car.

It took a bit of persuasion but she soon pulled over and both Ilya and Dima jumped out, grabbed the fire extinguishers and sprayed the side and underneath her car.

Sergei got out and walked over to where she stood watching his men put out the fire.

She was shaking, clutching a small fire extinguisher in her hands.

“Did you get hurt when you hit the rocks?” He asked.

She looked up at him, her eyes worried and scared.

“No, I was wearing my seat belt. I was thrown about a bit but that’s all. I never saw the rocks. I don’t know how I never saw them. I was driving so carefully because I know this piece of the road is dangerous.” She looked back at her car and shook her head slowly.

“What a mess. There’s no way I can continue on to the beach and I don’t want to call my friends to come and fetch me. I don’t want to sit and wait for them out here in the dark.” She muttered to herself as she inspected her car.

“I can drop you off. It is no problem. I’m on my way to my sister’s house.”

She suddenly looked up at him and narrowed her eyes as she inspected him.

“Your accent. Are you Russian?”

He nodded, wondering where she was going with the question.

“Your sister, is her name Nika by any chance?”

It couldn’t be.

“Yes.” He didn’t say more. The rest had to come from her.

“That’s where I was going!” She smiled in relief. “I work for Pixie Maingarde. I was only supposed to arrive on Christmas morning but I wanted to get there early to help her with all the wedding stuff.”

Wedding? What wedding.

“I don’t know about a wedding.” He looked at Ilya with a frown. His friend shrugged, keeping his eyes on the woman.
