I take a sharp turn onto a dirt road.
Loose gravel kicks up behind me.
Visibility drops.
Control gets harder.
Exactly what I want.
The carbehind me follows without hesitation.
Then the second.
Good.
I reach down.
Flip another switch.
Hidden.
Custom.
Half a mile ahead—
The road dips.
Curves hard.
Then narrows into a choke point between rock and trees.
I slow just enough.
Let them think I’m losing control.
Let them close the distance.
My pulse stays steady.
Always steady.
Three…
Two…
One—
I yank the wheel and slide sideways off the road—
The car disappearing behind the tree line just before the choke point.
Brakes.
Kill lights.
Engine low.
I grab my weapon.
