hung up.
The men rushed out to Jared's cruiser piling in, then Danny, who was driving because Jared was on the phone, put the pedal to the metal, and they were on their way.
Chapter Eight
Sandi was shaking. She held on tightly to Traci's hand while Jade cussed up a storm. The other SUV had bumped them twice more, but Evan had managed to keep them on the road. She knew without a doubt that this was her prankster, although she had gotten his message now. This was not a prank, he wanted her life, and he was going to get it. Worse, she had drug her friends into this, and they could die as well. Sandi prayed that the Calvary would arrive soon, they were now on the outskirts of Johnstown.
Frank looked back again and cursed. The girls turned as one and saw that the SUV was now coming up on the driver's side. "Everyone, brace yourselves. He's coming, and I am going as fast as I can. We are most likely going to be hit and hard," Evan said as he gripped the steering wheel and glanced at Frank.
Traci was still relaying everything to Jared, and he was trying to keep her calm. When the SUV started to come up alongside, she could only see the shadow form of the driver due to the tinting that seemed to cover the whole vehicle. "Jared, he's got a gun. He's coming up beside us now. We just passed the Miller Farm. Okay, okay, I will tell them. I love you, so much." Then she hung up. "Jared said he is one mile up and ready to get this guy. Evan, when we pass the cruiser, you need to immediately slow down and pull to the right off the road. Then we are all to jump out and lay flat on the ground on the side of the vehicle. He says under no circumstances are we to lift our heads or even a finger."
Everyone took a deep breath, preparing for what was to come. This was not going to be easy.
Danny was driving as fast as he could, lights and sirens full blast. What the hell happened? How did Sandi get out of the apartment? This guy had been waiting for the moment when he could get to her, and now he had found it. Damn it, when would Jade quit playing games? Now she had involved the woman he loved. Whoa. The woman he loved? When did that happen? He couldn't pinpoint a time, but he knew it was true. He loved Sandi. He had resisted her. He knew if he let her in that he was a goner. She was just like his mom in a lot of ways, and his father used to always say that one day each of the boys would find a woman like her and settle down. That's why he had acted like a playboy, well, he had been one back then, but he had wanted to scare her off. Now, he just wanted her in his arms. Safe.
They arrived at the spot Jared had picked for the ambush, and he whipped the cruiser off to the side of the road on the left. They jumped out. Miles grabbed the spike strip; he was very good at whipping it out like a whip when they needed to. Jared had gotten off the phone with Traci and was checking his glock, as well as making sure the shotgun was loaded.
"Alright, they are two minutes out coming at a high rate of speed. Miles, you ready?" Jared asked.
"Good to go," Miles flipped the safety on the strip off and crouched down.
"The second they pass us, throw it out. They’ve been instructed to pull to the right, get out and down. We only have one shot at this. Make it count," Jared barked out.
They all got into position as they heard the sound of vehicles approaching. They looked down the road and saw the headlights of two cars side by side. Evan seemed to be following Jared's instructions as they watched him slow the car, which in turn caused the other car to slow down. Then at the last second, he floored it and cut in front of the other SUV. Then he slammed on the brakes only to surge forward again. The first SUV blew past them, swerved to the right, and then the brakes were engaged. The second SUV was passing them, and Miles threw out the spike strip and caught the back tires of the second SUV. Both tires exploded, and the SUV swerved
