"Keep going." Damien yells at me while we try to catch up with the car that had just left the station.

"My fucking foot is on the floor." I yell back at him. "This piece of shit can't go much faster!"

The car in front jumps the lights and I have to slam on the brakes to stop anyone colliding into the side of us.

"Fucking go!" Damien yells as the green light comes on.

I speed forward, barely missing the pedestrian running across the road as I cut another driver off. We couldn't lose this guy.

Damien had filled me in on the plan before he received a link from Dane.

He had been telling me that we would prepare for Serkan to come here. And in the blink of an eye, everything had changed. The threat was already here and we barely had a clue of what we were dealing with.

I round the corner, lifting off on two wheels. From the corner of my eye I see Damien grab the dash. He wanted me to hurry and this was the only way. "We can't let him get away!"

"Don't you think I know that!" I shout back over the screaming engine.

"I knew I should have gotten behind the wheel."

"I've seen your driving, we wouldn't even be this close." I snap, watching the car in front drift around another bend.

We round the bend and slam on the brakes. In front of us is the car, only it's abandoned.
