It was all too intense for Molly. For a while, she felt like her heart would just stop beating.
She needed to survive this moment and she needed to keep holding out hope.
Molly gritted her teeth as she focused, her hands clutched tightly on the steering wheel. This was the point of no return - whatever move she made could lead to her death and this was not the time to lose focus and control of the car. She gulped when she heard a loud mechanical cranking sound beside her. Sweat was dripping from her forehead and her throat was constricted.
Brian was holding the gun as steadily as he could, his gaze focusing on the car tailing them. In his mind, he was calculating car speed, wind speed, and even the resistance power of the shield glass. The tension soar through the roof. He squinted his eyes aiming for the perfect target. Bang! A bullet shot through the car's windshield. It was so strong that the windshield had cracked as soon as the bullet had made contact.
Molly's heart was beating so quickly she felt as if it was going to jump out of her trembling body any minute now. For a while, she was so scared for her life that she had almost forgotten how to breathe. She closed her eyes, unable to deal with the fear and anxiety yet keeping her hands gripped on the steering wheel.
"You just have to keep doing what you're doing. Leave the rest to me, okay?" His voice was deep and certain. She nodded obediently. Bang! The sound filled her ears - it was a deafeningly loud thud. The second bullet had been fired.
Brian's hand was steady as a rock and his face the vision of focus. He was aiming directly for the car. Another bullet was fired through the windshield. Molly's heart was still beating rapidly. So many things were happening all at once.
With great momentum and force, the car skidded to the side.
