Chapter 19 - The Trap Set By Chloe Springs Forward
The Escalade roared down the empty lanes of the midnight freeway, closing in on the towering downtown financial district.
Suddenly, two heavy corporate transport trucks pulled out from the overpass lanes, blocking all four highway exits.
“Ambush! Hold on!” the driver screamed, slamming hard on the anti-lock brakes as sparks flew from the asphalt.
Before the Escalade could reverse, a dozen armed enforcers poured out from the transport trucks with assault rifles raised.
“Don't shoot to kill! Chloe wants the girl alive so she can sign the waiver!” a commander shouted through a bullhorn.
Maya looked at Julian, her tactical mind calculating their dwindling options against superior numerical odds.
“We fight through them, or we lose everything,” Maya declared, checking the magazine of her weapon.
“That’s my partner,” Julian smiled grimly, kicking open his side door to use the armored frame as cover.
A fierce firefight erupted across the midnight highway, echoing against the distant skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles.
