He didn’t finish.

He didn’t have to.

My hand moved before I could think.

I grabbed the steering wheel.

Hard.

Trevor shouted - not in rage, but in shock.

The car jerked violently sideways.

He fought for control, but I held on.

The tires lost grip.

Metal screamed.

We slammed into the concrete barrier at full speed.

Airbags detonated.

The world shattered.

The car spun.

Clipped the perimeter fencing.

Rolled once…

And stopped.

For a moment there was only silence.

Then the whine of the jet engine, still spooling in the distance.

Still waiting.

Smoke curled upward.

My body slammed against something hard and cold air hit my skin.

I was outside the car.

Thrown clear.

I tasted blood.

My lungs refused to fill.

Pain radiated through everything.

The Audi lay twisted against the crushed fencing, hood folded inward, headlights flickering.

A groan met my ears.

Trevor.
