Chapter 4 - The High Speed Chase Through The Streets Of Washington
Victoria burst through the heavy steel emergency doors into the rain-slicked alley behind the Embassy Row mansion.
Her driver stood beside a dark Mercedes sedan, idling the engine in anticipation of her quick, frantic escape.
She dove into the leather back seat, screaming at the driver to hit the accelerator before security forces could seal the alley gates.
The luxury sedan burst onto Massachusetts Avenue, swerving wildly past yellow taxis and evening commuter traffic in the torrential rain.
Julian sprinted out to his armored police SUV, slamming his foot onto the gas pedal as the siren blared through the night.
"All units, this is Director Julian Vance, pursuing a high-value suspect heading south toward the Potomac River!" he shouted into his radio.
Rain whipped across the windshield in blinding sheets as the two high-speed vehicles barreled past the floodlit monuments of Washington.
Victoria looked back through the rear window, her face pale as she saw Julian’s heavy front bumper closing the gap rapidly behind her.
"Faster! Drive through the red light at Dupont Circle!" Victoria screamed, gripping the leather seat as tires squealed on the wet asphalt.
