Chapter 5 - Richard Sprints Toward His Luxury Escape Vehicle Outside
Chaos erupted near the back of the chapel as Richard managed to throw off his attackers with a surge of desperate adrenaline.
He scrambled across the floor, abandoning his fallen jacket and diving through a shattered side window into the courtyard gardens.
Several mourners rushed to the window, watching as he sprinted across the manicured lawn toward his parked black luxury SUV.
“He’s getting away to the parking lot! Someone stop him!” a donor shouted, pointing frantically through the broken glass pane.
Richard yanked open the driver’s side door of the SUV, tossing his keys into the ignition with trembling, bloodied fingers.
The engine roared to life with a deep, angry exhaust note that echoed across the quiet suburban neighborhood street.
He threw the transmission into reverse, tearing out of the parking space and crushing several decorative floral wreaths beneath his tires.
