Lauren hesitated, suspicion etched on her face, but her grip didn’t wane. “You’re playing me again!”
Raegan, drenched in perspiration across her neck and brow, insisted, “It’s the truth.”
Struggling for her life, Raegan couldn’t help but feel ensnared by a relentless destiny. Fatigue and desperation took hold. What was her next move? The faces of Janey and the others surfaced in her mind.
Just as hope dwindled, a familiar luxury car appeared, gliding beside Raegan.
Raegan caught the unique license plate in the mirror, and tears flooded her eyes.
Upon spotting the car, Lauren’s rage boiled over. She threw herself into the backseat and then hurled forward, hands gripping Raegan’s throat as she shrieked, “Perfect, a double death it is!”
“Uh…” Raegan fought to speak, her voice stuck in her throat. One of her hands gripped the steering wheel while the other tugged at the claws coiled around her neck, a frantic struggle.
Yet, Lauren’s strength was formidable. Raegan’s dual efforts were futile. She couldn’t pry Lauren’s hands off with just one hand.
Raegan’s complexion morphed from red to a ghastly white and then to a deep shade of purple.
Mitchel in the nearby black luxury car caught sight of Raegan’s distress and issued a decisive command. “Hit the car!”
Matteo, surprised, took a moment to process and asked, “Mr. Dixon, did I hear you correctly? What did you just say?”
Mitchel’s expression was stern, his command crisp. “Drop to seventy miles an hour. Then, speed up and target their car’s rear left.”
Matteo now grasped the urgency, realizing Mitchel’s plan. If they didn’t crash into them, the crazy Lauren could have choked Raegan to death.

Matteo decreased the speed and then accelerated, the car’s engine roaring, drawing Raegan’s attention.
Even amidst her struggle, Raegan accelerated, and the high speed caused Lauren’s grip to falter slightly.
Raegan swerved sharply, causing Lauren’s hold to slip.
Though Lauren’s grip hadn’t fully loosened, it was significantly less tight than before.
In desperation, Raegan rolled down the window, signaling Matteo’s car to halt.
As Matteo was about to make an impact, a stern command from Mitchel came. “Stop!”
Mitchel’s car halted abruptly, and its speed was drastically reduced.
Mitchel sensed the urgency in Raegan’s gestures, hinting at explosives in the vehicle. His heart sank, and he ordered, “Catch up but maintain distance.”
Once Mitchel’s car was alongside the SUV Raegan was in, he heard Raegan’s faint utterance, “Explosives!”
Mitchel’s guess was spot-on. Crashing into the SUV was clearly not a choice.
With Lauren still attempting to choke Raegan, Mitchel directed, “Close in, but don’t hit them!”
