violently then started rolling to end up on its roof. The group from the first SUV jumped up off the ground and ran into the road, staring at the upside-down vehicle. It landed about fifty yards away.
Jared, Miles, and Danny headed straight for the vehicle. They had their guns drawn and surrounded the car. Jared and Danny took position on the front two corners of the windshield of the SUV, and Miles took up a position on the driver's side door. Jared's voice boomed, "Driver, show me your hands! Now!" There was some movement and then a hand appeared out of the driver's window, then another. Miles holstered his gun and went to grab the wrists of the driver as Jared instructed, "Do not move, keep your hands where we can see them."
Miles grabbed the wrists and then pulled the driver from the car. Danny was surprised to see a young man come out. He had a cut on his forehead and was glaring at Jared. Danny holstered his gun and jumped in to help Miles cuff the guy and roll him back over to lift him up into a sitting position.
Jared said, "Miles, call and get an ambulance here to check everyone out." He holstered his gun and turned just in time to catch Traci as she flung herself into his arms. She buried her face in his neck as he held her tight.
Just then, a car came screeching to a halt, and Zach jumped out of his car and ran to Jade. "What the hell happened? You were supposed to be at the restaurant, then hanging with Traci and Sandi at the apartment. How are you here? Someone tell me what's going on." Zach was pissed, and Jade opened her mouth to explain. "No, don't you answer me right now. I am telling you, I am going to paddle your ass for this. You know the rules, and you broke them. You are in trouble, little girl." He continued to threaten her with all manner of punishments as she looked over his shoulder at Sandi and winked.
Sandi smiled and walked around to the front of the SUV where the driver was cuffed. Miles and Danny stood over him staring him down as he glared at them. She had to see the person who had done these things to her, and she hoped to find out why he had done it. The minute he saw her, he tried to lunge at her.
"You bitch! This is your fault! You should be dead by now, why can't you die?" he screamed at her, yelling obscenities and vile descriptions of how he wanted to kill her.
She was horrified at the vehemence behind his words and didn't recognize him at all. She turned away, and a pair of strong arms wrapped around her. She breathed deeply, Danny. This was all she needed, she felt safe and protected in his arms. She pulled back a little to be able to look in his eyes. He looked angry, and she saw a flash of hurt in there, too. Then he leaned down and mashed his lips to hers, seeming to take possession of her mouth as he plundered it. He consumed her with that kiss, surrounding her with all that was Danny, drowning out everything around them. Her blood heated and pooled low in her abdomen, sending tingles and sparks to her clit. Oh, how she wished they were in her apartment, instead of on an open road in the middle of nowhere. He broke the kiss and then looked into her eyes, did she a flash of love there? No, it couldn't be, she was going to question him when she heard the raised voices behind her and turned to see what was going on.
Jade and Traci were being held back by their men as they screamed at the young man on the ground.
"You so do not get to yell and speak to her like that, you piece of shit!" Jade yelled, furiously trying to get to the man, but Zach had his arm banded around her middle.
"Yeah, you jackass, trying to kill us all, what the fuck?" Traci seconded.
"What the hell did she do to you anyway? Who are you?" Jade shouted at him.
The young man looked between the two women and their men and obviously decided to keep his mouth shut. He glared daggers at Sandi now, and she shivered with fear at the fury in his eyes. Danny's arm tightened around her, and he whispered in her ear,
