Chapter: 2016
With Lauren still attempting to choke Raegan, Mitchel directed, “Close in, but don't hit them!"
Matteo's task was to shadow the black SUV closely, avoiding any crashes while staying within arm's reach. The tension made Matteo's palms slick with sweat.
Suddenly, a loud “crash" echoed as Mitchel employed a window breaker to shatter the SUV's back window.
The glass exploded into shards, scattering and cutting Lauren.
Yet, Lauren appeared unfazed, maintaining her relentless hold on Raegan's throat.
Seeing Raegan's face grow increasingly purple, Mitchel couldn't delay any further. He extended his hand to Matteo and said, “Give me the connector."
Matteo handed over a gadget that looked akin to a USB stick.
Mitchel peeked through the window, issuing a command in a deep tone, "When I instruct you to steer right, turn the wheel sharply and make space."
Matteo was still trying to piece together the plan. In an instant, he observed Mitchel leaning out the window, his arm outstretched to clasp the SUV's window frame.
Matteo's face turned pale, realizing Mitchel's intentions.
Due to the window's jagged remnants, Mitchel's hand was bleeding, yet he persisted.
Matteo couldn't contain his concern and said, "Mr. Dixon, you're risking too much!"
Mitchel's expression was resolute, his focus unwavering. “Turn right!"
Hearing the command, Matteo, with no time for doubt, yanked the wheel to the right, his back soaked in sweat.
Suddenly, a hiss filled the air. The tires wailed, protesting against the asphalt.
Mitchel leaned against the car window, stretching his arm into the SUV to snatch Lauren.
The black SUV kept rolling forward. It couldn't halt.
Yet, as they raced forward, Mitchel had to bend his legs to avoid touching the ground. Otherwise, any small mistake would send him crashing headfirst onto the road, all blood and broken bones!
Raegan was nearly choked to the point of Losing oxygen. Her mind was foggy, yet her hands clung to the steering wheel. She knew she couldn't afford to let go of the steering wheel.
Mitchel was already here for her. Raegan believed if she persisted, he would come through for her.
