About two football fields in front of De Luca’s men in the black Tahoe, Lawson could see Johnny’s captors’ Ford Expedition. The Mercedes that he had “commandeered” was much faster than the Tahoe, so he closed in fast. Lawson was no wheelman, far from it in fact, so he really didn’t know what to do. He didn’t care about De Luca’s men. All he cared about was not losing sight of that Ford Expedition. He had to know who was taking Johnny. And more importantly where they were taking him.
Lawson decided that since his car was much faster than the Tahoe, he would just go around it and pursue the Expedition. He accelerated to go around the Tahoe on the right side, but before he could pass, the driver swerved over and cut him off. Lawson slammed on the brakes, swerved left, floored the pedal once again, but the SUV swerved to block him. As this little automotive dance was taking place, the Expedition up ahead began to put even more distance between them.
Not good.
Then the driver of the Tahoe slammed on the brakes, and Lawson was too close to keep from hitting it. When the front end of the Mercedes smacked into the back of the Tahoe, metal crushing metal echoed all around him, the airbag deployed, and a burning sensation seared into Lawson’s skin. As he tore at the airbag, muffled sounds of gunshots reached Lawson’s ears just before the bullets penetrated his windshield. Lawson instinctively ducked as glass rained down on him. He reached down for the shift knob, threw the car into reverse, and hit the gas. His tires squalled as the Mercedes began moving backward, but his escape was short lived. He heard someone lay on the horn just before he heard the metal-on-metal clash once again. His body was whipped back against his seat from the jarring impact. In front of him, De Luca’s men exited the Tahoe and began to walk toward him. Guns raised.
Lawson noticed his cell phone ringing on the console. It was Cassie calling. But instead of reaching for his phone, he reached for the Beretta tucked in the front of his pants. He fired two shots before he could really even take aim. Hitting them was a priority, but keeping them from coming any closer before he could get out of the car was imperative. As soon as the men heard the shots, they took cover behind the Tahoe. Lawson took two more shots through the open windshield at the man’s feet on the left side as he took cover behind a door. He missed both, but it gave him a moment to push the start button on the car.
Nothing.
Several gunshots rang out and Lawson again took cover. This time, he stayed low and crawled between the two front seats to the back. He only had a couple of bullets left in his magazine. There were four of them, and he had no way to get cover. If he expected to live through this little shoot-out, he was going to have to get creative.
