Chapter 16

Suspecting they had a tail on the way to the airport, Lexi said, “Do you see—”

“Someone’s following us.” Edward called one of his men on his cell phone and said, “Hey, I believe we’ve got a tail. If you can intercept him, that would be great.”

The black SUV behind them sped up to reach them, but another car, a little yellow Bug, tried to pass him.

“Hell, that’s Don’s car,” Ryder said.

“I hope he didn’t discover my father is with me.” Lexi was annoyed with the paparazzo. There was no such thing as just being friends with the guy.

“He’s making a bad move,” Edward said. “If Tremaine’s thugs are driving the SUV, they’re sure to believe he’s pulling up alongside them to take them out.”

“We’ve got to do something then.” Lexi didn’t like that Don was still trying to get a news story out of this, but she didn’t want Tremaine’s men injuring him or worse.

“Slam on your brakes,” Edward told the driver. “Everyone brace for impact. If this goes sideways, we might not reach the airport on schedule.”

“If they’re Tremaine’s men, we might not anyway,” Lexi said.

Ryder reached over and held Lexi’s hand. She took a deep breath and glanced at him. He was frowning, a gun in his right hand, ready for whatever came next. Shots were fired at Don’s car, and he swerved into the SUV. A Bug against an SUV didn’t stand a chance.

The driver of the SUV was so busy concentrating on Don that he didn’t have time to react when Lexi’s driver slammed on his brakes and the SUV rammed into the back of the van. Both vehicles stopped, and the Bug caught fire. Edward grabbed a fire extinguisher from the van. Mike and Ryder and the other men jumped out of the van to assist.

“Stay with Lexi and Dr. Summerfield,” Ryder said to Kate, then hurried after the others. He just hoped no more of these guys showed up.

He and Mike and the driver made their way to the SUV, while Edward put out the fire in Don’s car. Ryder and the others had to ensure the thugs didn’t come out shooting, so that was their priority—taking them into custody and calling the police.

Ryder tried the driver’s door, but it was locked.

“They’ve got bulletproof windows,” Mike said. “Look at the thick black frame around the dark windows.”

“Fine. We’ll wait for the police to get here and arrest them then.” Ryder called the police and told them the situation. While Mike and the other man helping them kept an eye on the SUV, Ryder stalked off to assist Edward in opening one of the Bug’s car doors.

Both were putting their backs into it, trying to open the jammed driver’s door to reach Don. As soon as they tore it open with a crunch, Ryder and Edward pulled Don from the smoke-filled car.

“Told you it was dangerous messing with this bunch,” Ryder said, while Don was coughing his lungs out from smoke inhalation.
