Chapter 172

Our warriors jumped in the back of the truck, and I told Ethan that it was clear. So he started speeding out of the building, and the soldiers in front of us needed to duck for cover while we sped through them, making sure not to hit anyone. And I was still firing the gun.
I made it look like I was aiming at them, but I really wasn't. I was determined that I wasn't going to shoot anyone else.
As we crashed through the gate of the base, metal twisted and clanged, flying off in pieces while we sped onto the road beyond the compound. Ethan took a few sharp turns and detours along winding, unfamiliar roads, doing everything possible to lose any potential followers. My eyes were darting all over the place, scanning not only the rearview mirror but also the skies above us. I knew they had drones, and if one of them had picked us up, we could be in trouble. But I couldn’t see anything trailing us, which gave me a little peace of mind.
