Chapter 6 - The Shattered Glass
Norah reacted on pure survival instinct and swerved the heavy pickup truck violently to the left.
She slammed the rusted metal grill directly into the sleek side of the black SUV.
The brutal impact sent both vehicles skidding dangerously across the wet, slick highway.
Arthur's rifle fired, but the high-caliber bullet merely shattered her passenger side window into a thousand pieces.
Norah desperately regained control of the steering wheel and pushed the accelerator entirely to the floor.
The black SUV spun out of control behind her and crashed violently into a solid concrete barrier.
Norah did not stop the truck to see if Arthur was dead or alive.

Her freezing fingers brushed against something small, hard, and metallic.

She plugged the strange chip into the truck's old, dusty GPS navigation port to see what it contained.

Arthur had been quietly embezzling millions of dollars from Nico's empire for years.
