Chapter 34

Larry hesitated for a second, unsure how to respond. But what Quinlyn said made sense. No matter how much he loved pushing his limits, he’d never drag a kid into something dangerous like this.

Quinlyn gave him a small nod, her expression still calm. “Mm.”

Right as she finished, the countdown hit zero..

The cars shot forward, engines roaring like a pack of wild animals released from their cages.
