Chapter 22 - The Aspen Highway Chase
Before heading overseas, Victoria received word that an Apex strike team was attempting to destroy original physical paper deeds stored in Aspen.
She immediately redirected her team to Colorado, landing at Aspen County Airport amidst a heavy mountain snowstorm.
An armored SUV picked up Victoria and Marcus, navigating the icy, winding mountain roads toward the secure vault facility.
Suddenly, a massive black truck slammed into their rear bumper, attempting to force their SUV off the steep cliffside edge.
"Hold on!" Marcus roared, spinning the steering wheel hard to regain control as tires squealed against the slick ice.
A second mercenary vehicle pulled up alongside them, its passenger opening fire with an automatic rifle through the window.
Marcus leaned out his window, firing three precise shots that blew out the enemy vehicle's front tire, sending it spinning into a snowbank.
Victoria grabbed the emergency brake, assisting Marcus as he maneuvered the heavy SUV through a sharp hair-pin turn.
The pursuing truck lost control on the icy patch, smashing through the guardrail and plunging harmlessly into a deep snow ravine below.

Breathing heavily, Marcus brought their SUV to a stop outside the vault, securing the physical deeds before returning to the airport.
