Chapter 4 - The Twisted Metal
A deafening barrage of heavy bullets violently shattered the reinforced passenger window of the luxury SUV.
The expensive bulletproof glass held perfectly for the first three shots before spider webbing into a million cracked pieces.
Graham aggressively slammed on the brakes, violently dropping the SUV entirely behind the speeding black truck.
Julian’s heavy truck swerved wildly, desperately trying to correct its momentum and turn around on the wet asphalt.
Graham did not wait for the ruthless assassin to completely recover his tactical position.
He slammed the gas pedal down again, violently accelerating the SUV directly into the side of Julian’s truck.
The massive collision sent both heavy vehicles aggressively skidding off the wet highway and down a steep, muddy embankment.
Claire covered her face as the SUV rolled violently through the dense trees, metal screaming against heavy wood.
The vehicle finally slammed hard into a massive oak tree, deploying all the airbags in a cloud of white powder.
Claire choked on the harsh chemical smoke, her entire body aching from the brutal, terrifying crash.
Graham forcefully kicked his jammed door open and quickly pulled Claire safely out of the ruined vehicle.
They completely abandoned the smoking wreckage and sprinted desperately into the freezing, dark woods.
Graham realized instantly that Everett was not just trying to quietly take over the mafia business empire.
Everett wanted the entire Hawthorne bloodline violently erased so he could legally absorb the massive corporate trusts.
They could hear the angry shouts of heavily armed mercenaries spreading out through the dense trees behind them.
Julian had clearly survived the crash and was currently hunting them with terrifying military precision.
Graham grabbed Claire’s hand and expertly guided her through the darkest shadows of the freezing forest.

Graham pressed his bloody hand against a completely hidden stone block, revealing a secret, heavily fortified steel door.
