Chapter Twenty

The next morning, I’d snuck out early, brushing Trace’s cheek with a kiss, as I had a number of errands I wanted to take care of without company. I ran around and got all of them taken care of in no time, flying down the highway, as it hadn’t gotten crowded yet.

Suddenly, a shot rang out.

I checked my rearview and side mirrors to confirm that I’d heard correctly. I saw an SUV and a motorcycle rapidly approaching. Wondering if they had a score to settle with one another, I merged into the middle lane and hit the gas.

Another round of gunfire, this coming from the man on the motorcycle. My heart pounded furiously as bullets peppered the back of my Lexus. The SUV rammed my bumper, and I came close to running off the road.

I grabbed my Ruger out of my purse just as I was rammed again, this time coming inches from careening up over the sidewalk.

There was a brief pause in gunfire; thankfully, the shooter wasn’t good at hitting his target. He zipped closer and took another shot, and my windshield turned into a spiderweb of cracks.

I powered down the driver’s window and took a shot at the motorcycle. He dropped his gun and grabbed his arm. The bike wheeled around, tires screeching, and he sped off. The SUV came up alongside me, clipping my front bumper before roaring off.

I sucked in a deep breath. Stupid as it was, I gunned the engine and went after the SUV, as I had no clue who wanted to run me off the road and hoped to find out. The driver must’ve seen me coming, as they blew through a red light in a blare of horns. Thankfully, there were no collisions.

I pulled onto a side street, grabbed my phone, and tucked my Ruger into the back of my pants as I got out. I circled the car, realizing that several of the shots had hit the passenger side. I wasn’t aware of anyone except the motorcycle—which was on the driver’s side the whole time—firing and hadn’t seen the SUV’s window go down. Was there a third vehicle I missed? I called Lucas.

“I’m not done being irked off at you,” he said when he answered. “Do you know that the kids went on and on and on about what fun you are?”

“Two vehicles just chased me down and opened fire on me.”

“Where did this happen?”

I told him the names of the streets where I was sitting. “The vehicles were a black BMW motorcycle and a black Escalade. Both looked new.”

“Don’t hang up. I’m calling Morgan.”

I heard Lucas make the call and relay everything to the detective.

Before he returned to the line, he yelled to Wolf, “Did you get all that?” The answer must’ve been yes, as he didn’t repeat anything. “I’ll send out a tow truck and a loaner.”

“I’m pretty sure I didn’t show as much appreciation as I should’ve when you leaned on me to upgrade to armored.” The
