Chapter 14 - THE PURSUIT OF BRAD
Brad sprinted out of the courthouse doors, leaping into his black SUV parked in the loading zone.
He slammed his foot onto the gas pedal, sending the vehicle roaring down the street with tires squealing on the pavement.
Ethan ran out of the courthouse steps, jumping straight into the driver's seat of his Ford F-150.
Max barked fiercely from the back seat as Ethan shifted into gear and sped after the fleeing criminal.
The high-speed chase tore through the narrow streets of downtown before heading onto the open highway toward the mountains.
Brad reached into his glove compartment, pulling out a silver handgun and firing two shots back at Ethan’s truck.
One bullet shattered the driver's side mirror, but Ethan didn't flinch, maintaining his pursuit at ninety miles per hour.
"He’s heading for the private airfield in Blackwood Valley," Ethan noted, recognizing the mountain route.
Ahead, the highway twisted around steep cliffs covered in thick pine trees and dangerous patches of black ice.
Brad lost control of his SUV on a sharp turn, swerving wildly before crashing through the guardrail.
