“Good,” she mentioned. “As a result of we’re virtually out of gasoline.”

“How virtually?”

“The warning gentle has been on for a couple of minutes now.”

“That’s fairly virtually.”

“Are you virtually out of bullets?”

“No.”

“That’s good.”

“I’m utterly out of bullets.”

She winced. “That’s dangerous.”

“Simply hold us shifting quick and get us to the rendezvous level.”

“You’re positive they’ll be there?”

“The MC has by no means let me down,” Pony mentioned. “They’ll be there.”

Piper discovered herself wanting forwards and backwards between the highway, the killers chasing them, and the warning gentle on the gasoline tank. Any one among them may spell their finish. Any one among them may go sideways at any second.

“Ought to be proper round this subsequent curve,” Pony mentioned.

“Hold on. Going to be a decent one,” she mentioned.

This time, Pony did seize on to one thing, as she drifted the Charger as soon as once more round a decent curve on the darkish nation highway. The tires squealed out their anger on the calls for fabricated from them, and for a second, Piper swore one among them was going to blow out and ship them careening into the bushes and a fiery dying, however the tires held and the Charger made it by way of the flip intact.

As earlier than, the killers chasing them both didn’t have the ability or the standard of car able to matching that maneuver. They have been pressured to decelerate to take the curve, giving their Charger an opportunity to tug a bit additional away and making them a near-impossible goal to hit.

As soon as they cleared the curve and straightened again out on the highway, Piper noticed it up forward. A pair of police automobiles blocking the highway, pink and blue lights flashing. She gave her pursuers a look within the rear view mirror.

Her maneuver had given them far from their enemy, and now that they got here across the curve and again intosight in her rear-view, Piper may inform that they have been slowing down, not dashing up.

They have to’ve seen the police lights too, she figured, and gunned the Charger’s throttle one final time. The muscle automobile roared its approach to the roadblock, the place she turned the wheel arduous and introduced it to a cease simply in entrance of the flashing lights of the squad automobiles.

Behind them, the cartel automobiles stopped in the course of the darkish highway, their headlights the one factor seen. Piper and Pony each obtained out of the Charger, staring on the headlights of the cartel killers, questioning what their pursuers have been going to do subsequent.

Extra lights started to change on, on both facet of the flashing squad automobiles. Headlights from bikes, a lot of them, clicking on one at time and pointing on the cartel’s automobiles. Behind every motorbike headlight, Piper knew, was a MC brother with a gun and critical intentions.

The cartel should’ve realized that that they had stepped into one thing they weren’t ready for, as a result of there was nothing from them. No extra gunfire, no extra motion, nothing, simply the 2 units of headlights sitting and dealing with the roadblock mutely.

“Piper?” a voice referred to as out from behind the ocean of lights and automobiles and bikes.

“Carly?” she mentioned.

Now that her eyes had adjusted, Piper may see the MC brothers by their bikes, weapons held able to go, and a handful of native cops behind the squad automobiles. She noticed her good friend Jane from the Bureau as effectively, sporting a blue windbreaker with FBI in sq. yellow letters on the again and her service pistol in her hand.

Carly darted out from between the squad automobiles, adopted intently by Jocko, who was armed with an AK-47. The 2 ofthem rushed over to Piper and Pony, Carly grabbing her sister in an embrace.

“Carly, what are you doing right here?” Piper mentioned. “Jocko! You have been supposed to maintain her someplace protected!”

“Are you kidding?” Jocko mentioned. “You attempt to hold her from doing one thing she doesn’t wish to do.”

Earlier than Piper may reply, Carly grabbed her arm and pointed on the headlights of the cartel killers.
