Hot Pursuit
“Matt didn’t say anything more as she navigated the car across town. She didn’t want to go to the marina. It seemed contrary to all common sense, yet Matt had talked her through the kind of daredevil driving that only an hour ago she’d have sworn she couldn’t do without a whole lot of practice and nerves of steel. For that alone, she’d give him the benefit of the doubt.
But only for so long.
She kept a wary check on the rearview mirror, but no headlights seemed to be following. There was a car here and there, but nothing consistent, and nothing gaining fast. She still couldn’t believe what had happened. One minute she was waiting, jumpy as a cat, and the next there was an explosion. She hadn’t even thought twice about what to do. She’d gunned the car up the drive, panicked that Matt was in the middle of the blast. When she saw the house with one side of it blown away, her insides melted.
She hadn’t thought Matt would answer her, but she’d gotten out of the car and called for him anyway.
