THIRTY-SIX

With a yellow Lamborghini in the rearview mirror, Tyler knew his escape wasn’t over. It had to be the one he’d seen as he exited the garage, which meant that Cavano wasn’t giving up on her Ferrari that easily.

He had hoped to find a good place to ditch the car and make their escape on foot into Munich’s U-Bahn subway, but the rush-hour traffic had slowed them enough to allow their pursuers to catch up. Because he and Stacy were unarmed, a footrace would be suicidal. And going to the police wasn’t an option after trashing the garage, killing a man, and stealing a car.

“Oh, my God!” Stacy shouted above the roar of the engine. “You’re bleeding!” She took off her sweater and pressed it against his arm.

Tyler winced. In the escape he’d forgotten about the gunshot wound, but now the pain in his shoulder howled.

“I’ll be fine,” he said through gritted teeth.

“It looks like you got shot! Are you hit anywhere else?”

“I don’t think so.”

“I saw a wrecked car in the garage. What the hell happened? Why are we in Cavano’s car?”

“Had a little trouble getting into the BMW. Pietro surprised me.”

The traffic slowed ahead, so Tyler cranked the wheel to the right, turning onto a street called Steinsdorfstrasse that ran alongside the river. Stacy squealed as he weaved through the traffic, occasionally zooming into the oncoming lane when he saw an opening.

Now she’d get an idea of what it had been like for him on the horse. Using the paddle shifters, Tyler had complete control, as if he were part of the car. Stacy, on the other hand, looked distinctly unhappy as she struggled to keep from getting thrown back and forth.

“Put your seat belt on,” Tyler said. “This could get dicey.”

She snapped the belt into place. “Dicier than this?”

“Could be.”

Tyler couldn’t put any distance between them and the Lamborghini, which had now been joined by a black Pagani Zonda.

“Did you get the geolabe?” Stacy asked.

“It’s got to be in the front boot.”

“Where are we going?”

He had to get out of these narrow streets. They could corner him if he ran into a traffic jam.

A blue sign flashed by depicting a highway overpass and an arrow toward 95.

The autobahn. The sleek sports cars following them were a match for the Ferrari. Outrunning them would be next to impossible, but the open highway was better than a city traffic jam.

He gave Stacy his phone.

“Call Grant and tell him to head this way.”

“But he’ll never catch us.”

“Just tell him that we’re getting onto the 95.”

As she dialed, Tyler thought about the evidence he’d left behind in the garage. Now he was glad he’d worn the gloves. If he had been successful in keeping his face out of sight of the cameras, there would be nothing leading back to him.

Of course, none of that would matter if Cavano and her men caught up with them.

He passed through an intersection just as the light turned red, but that didn’t deter the Zonda and the Lamborghini.
