Excerpt:

“We’re stealing the truck? Great.” Her feet ached at the prom­ise of respite. From the cab, a phone ringtone sang out.

“No, we’re not.”

“What? Why?”

“Because there’d be a chase and we’d lose. We’ve been through this before—we have to do what they don’t expect.”

“We could drive with no lights, be long gone before they realized.”

“They’re already coming.”

“What?”

He nodded along the tree line. In the distance, a pair of headlights was zigzagging—a vehicle, turning. A low hum reached her ears, in stereo sound. She glanced over her shoulder. “There’s another one, coming from behind.”

“Here,” he said, handing her the goggles. “Find me the big­gest rock you can carry, and quick.”

She pulled them on. No point asking about his plan. He dis­appeared around the far side of the truck. The driver’s door squealed open.

A rock. A big rock. The goggles made everything green and screwy. She couldn’t tell a stick from a snake. She shoved them up to her forehead, and blinked. The truck started up and ma­neuvered around. Was Flynn planning to drive it away, draw attention elsewhere while she escaped on foot? The headlights closed in—three pairs, now.

The truck idled. She swallowed past the lump in her throat. Whatever his plan, she’d feel better if they stuck together.

“How are you doing with that rock?” Flynn called.

She focused back on the ground. Stones, stones, stones…rock. She heaved it up and staggered back toward the truck, swaying.

Flynn had turned the truck so it faced the wasteland. He was shoving something big and solid into the driver’s seat, lit by the internal light. Psycho’s body? Flynn picked up the trussed guy’s rifle and jammed it through the steering wheel, then pulled the wheel. It didn’t budge.

He ran up. “Give me the rock, quick.”

Gratefully, she rolled it into his arms. Another minute and the nearest reinforcement would be upon them. She raised her rifle at it, as Flynn climbed in the passenger side. A thump, a clack. What was he doing? The truck whined as it started moving, then accelerated quickly. Oh God, he was leaving. Something fell from the passenger door—Flynn. He hit the ground, balled up, rolled to his feet, then sprinted to catch up with the strain­ing vehicle. What the…? Legs pumping into a blur, he reached out and shoved the flapping passenger door. It slammed. The internal light revealed Psycho’s silhouette, his head slumped. It timed off.

“Get down!” Flynn yelled over the roars of several engines.

This time she obeyed instantly. As the truck gained speed, a set of headlights swept the ground two feet from her nose. Crap. The approaching truck spun out, tires scraping against stones, and accelerated. Chasing Psycho. The other two pairs of head­lights veered away and joined the pursuit. Genius.

After a minute Flynn leaped up, his head snapping around like he was looking for something. “Can you run?”

“Yeah.” What option was there? She could internalize a bit of pain. Flynn had bought them another chance. Now it was she who had the urge to kiss him.
