Smith handed Arden the gun and slowed even more. He passed another camera, but this time it didn’t flash. He held the car at a speed that would keep it behind the Corsa and watched as the black car slowed until it was nearly parallel and to the left of Beckmann. Smith saw the Corsa’s window lower and the muzzle of a gun and the slender arm of a woman holding it.

“Looks like your CIA officer is going to handle our problem for us,” Arden said.

Smith watched as Russell pulled the trigger. He saw the flash of cartridges ejecting from the weapon and heard the sound of shots. The black car jerked and swerved violently before accelerating ahead. As it did it maneuvered into the far-right lane, the passenger window lowered, and a man leaned out, pointing his own gun.

“Driver doesn’t want to be first in the line of fire,” Smith said. He, though, stayed in the left lane.

“You’ll have to move over as well if you want me to have a clear shot at them,” Arden said. “In this lane I’d have to push you aside to shoot out your window.”

Smith watched as the Corsa and the black car dodged and weaved across the lanes of traffic and settled into the far right. Beckmann and Russell pulled alongside and the two cars surged and slowed as each attempted to avoid being in the line of fire. Smith stayed steady but moved into the center lane to avoid a passing truck. The black car slowed again, forcing Beckmann, who was directly behind him, to slow with it. Smith passed the Corsa once again and the black car slowed to match him.

Smith didn’t see the new danger until it was too late. A red car lined up on his left timed to when the black car had slowed. Now Smith was sandwiched in between the cars, and a man, his face obscured with a scarf that wrapped around his head and neck, leaned out of the black car’s passenger side, his arm extended while he took aim with a gun. Smith couldn’t slow, because a civilian’s car was behind him, and so he increased his speed, but the two cars increased theirs as well, keeping him sandwiched between them. Arden yelled something incomprehensible and fired several times out the open window.

“Taylor, get down,” Smith said. From the corner of his eye he saw the holes punch through the red car’s window on the driver’s side and it dissolved into shards. Smith heard the reports of return fire. Behind him the passenger window of his car shattered as bullets hammered through. He heard Taylor scream and saw a spurt of blood geyser upward.

“Get to Taylor,” Smith said. “Give me the gun.”

Arden screamed and dropped down onto the center console. More bullets punctured the car and Smith felt one wing past him.

Smith surged ahead, moving around two cars and swerving through traffic, with the two attackers right behind him. Arden shoved the gun at him before crawling over the seat and into the back.
