Chapter 24 - The Burning Shed
Evelyn threw a road flare into the open doorway of the generator shed, igniting the stored gasoline cans inside.
A massive wall of orange fire erupted into the night sky, throwing bright heat against the frozen snow.
"Run, Victoria! The FBI is on the road!" Evelyn screamed, backing toward a black pickup truck parked in the trees.
Victoria fired three rapid shots toward Julian, forcing him to take cover behind a heavy stone pillar.
She turned and ran through the knee-deep snow toward the waiting pickup truck.
Julian charged out from behind the pillar, sprinting through the storm to intercept her before she reached the road.
He tackled Victoria into a snowbank, sending her pistol spinning wildly across the smooth ice.
They wrestled in the freezing snow, Victoria scratching fanatically at his face with her manicured nails.
Julian pinned her wrists to the frozen ground, holding her down with his entire body weight.
