I yelled at the driver. “Go faster!”
The engine roared as the driver must have jammed his foot hard on the floorboard, pushing the car to its limit and weaving through the Killer Crows’ SUVs.
I clenched my teeth. “Fucking piece of shit thinks he can marry you.”
“Fuck him. That’s why we are not going to fail.” Kashmere kept her gaze on the road, her face flushed with a fiery determination.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion came from the SUV in front of us.
What?
Our driver slammed the brakes and swerved around it wildly, causing us to violently jerk to the side.
Then, another explosion came. A different Killer Crow SUV in front of us burst into flames.
The driver skidded out of the way.
“Shit!” My body bounced a little and then slammed back into the seat.
I quickly turned to look at Kashmere. She had her guns in her holsters and held onto her seat. “We don’t have bazookas, but it looks like they do.”
My frown deepened. “They were ready for us to chase after them.”
I caught a sudden glimpse of a biker driving in the wrong direction and heading our way. The closer he got, the more I realized he was pointing his gun our way.
What?
He must have fired because the sound of several gunshots reverberated through the air.
“Watch out!” I yanked Kashmere down to my lap, ducked, yet kept my gaze ahead.
Bullets punctured our windshield, shards of glass rained down around us like a deadly hailstorm.
“Asshole,” Kashmere rose, pulled out her gun, and leaned out of the window. She got the biker in the chest.
I checked the driver and made sure he was still alive.
More bikers followed.
Killer Crows and my men let loose a barrage of bullets, getting many in the head and littering the highway with dead bodies and crushed motorcycles.
Two bikers charged towards us.
I thrust my arm out the window, gripped my gun tightly, and unleashed a fury of lead into them, tearing through flesh and bone until they crashed into each other.
“Goddamn it!” Kashmere hit the side of the door.
I snapped my view to her. “What?”
She pointed ahead. “The mountains.”
It was so dark that it was difficult to see, but as my eyes adjusted, I could make out large solid black objects looming ahead.
Letting out a long breath, she put her guns up. “We’ve got to turn around. The closer we get to the mountains, the darker it is, and Gypsy keeps Coffin Cheaters guarding the area and ready to shoot oncoming cars.”
The sounds of gunfire and screeching of tires echoed in the distance.
“Fucking shit heads.” Kashmere pulled out her phone, dialed, and spoke, “Retreat. Now.”
Further ahead the sky lit up like fireworks had been set off.
“Damn it.” I gritted my teeth, pulled out my phone, and placed it against my ear.
The phone rang.
Leonardo answered, “Yes, sir?”
“Have everyone turn around.”
“Okay.”
“What happened up there?”
“It looks like some sort of missile hit three Killer Crow SUVs up ahead.”
I gripped the phone harder. “Get everyone out of there. We can’t have any more losses.”
“Yes, sir.”
I hung up, put my phone in my pocket, and gazed at Kashmere. “We’ll get him.”
“I know.”
“The fucking bastard was ready and knew exactly what he was doing.”
“What I don’t understand is why he didn’t shoot you in the restaurant when he had a chance.” She looked at me. “I was terrified.”
I pulled her close to me. “Don’t ever be afraid for me—”
“How could I not?”
“He didn’t shoot me. Let us just focus on that.”
“I can never let him get that close to you again.” She looked up at me. “I’m putting twenty men on you.”
I didn’t mean to laugh, but I couldn’t help it.
She frowned. “What is so funny?”
“I’m sorry, Kash. I’m just really not used to anyone protecting me, especially a woman.”
“Well, get used to it.” She widened her eyes. “I’m serious. Gypsy can never be in the same room with you again.”
“I actually would like to meet him again because the next time I will be armed.”
She glanced back at the front of the car as the driver did an illegal swerve onto the highway’s grass median. Next, the driver slammed on the gas. The tires screeched as the Ghost raced over the divider.
A minute later, the driver had us on the other side and speeding away.
I checked behind us. Many of my men and Killer Crows followed behind us.
Good. We didn’t lose too many.
Kashmere leaned against my chest. “Finally, I will have some happiness in my life because of you, and I won’t let Gypsy or anyone else take you away from me.”
My heart warmed. “I second that, Kash. Together we’ll watch all of our enemies burn in flames.”
“That will be a perfect wedding present.”
I smiled. “We truly are meant to be together.”
The rest of the ride was silent as I considered various ways to get rid of the Coffin Cheaters. Gypsy and his people knew the land and had experience fighting here. That gave them a great advantage.
