Chapter 61 - On Our Way April
Seeing Dean speed up and let go of her hand April sat up and turned around seeing the two black SUVs on their tail she knew they were in trouble. She went to grab her phone from her bag but the car suddenly jolted forward with the force of one of the SUVs hitting the back of their car.
"F*ck", Dean cursed if this was one of his other cars they would be armour-plated, with bulletproof windows but he was too easy-going this time.
The car was hit from the back again and they were both thrown forward with the impact. Dean was an outstanding driver, so he swerved and evaded the cars as much as possible but his car still was hit a few times, he couldn't escape every hit.
Bang Bang Bang...
The loud noises from behind we're obvious shots. The men behind in the SUV's had started to fire bullets at Deans car.
April flinched in her seat as glass from the cars windows smashed. The back window and side windows were all smashed and the sound of gunfire was even more fierce in the quiet night. Dean reached out his arm and pulled April close to his body wanting to protect her. She wasn't shaking like he thought she would be instead she held on to him.
The hail of gunfire then stopped, Dean knew though that this wasn't the end. They were obviously prepared with armoured cars and guns.
Suddenly with another hit from one of the SUV's, Deans car was rammed and had jolted forward before Dean got it straightened up and continued to drive. Dean hit the gas and they took off again.
The back of his car was heavily dented by the force of each blow as they were hit numerous times now. April sat up and looked around, but she kept hold of Dean.
An SUV pulled up on either side of them. They had meant to give them no escape route. They were heavily armoured alligator SUVs this sports car of Deans had no chance.
Dean hit the gas again and they jolted forward, he pushed the car to the limit as fast as it could go, luckily he had always been an incredible driver and had years of racing experience. The screeching of tires was now all that could be heard.
He dodged the SUV on his side but the one on April's side rammed once flinging his car, then it came back for another blow and on the second go Dean steered the car sideways to avoid the crash. He didn't want April to be hurt, this was not how their night should end.
The car veered and they ended up in a ditch. The car had stopped and April's body was whipped forward and thrown back with the sudden force. She crashed into the steering wheel before landing back against Dean's chest. She scrambled to get her belt off and Dean was hitting the gas over and over trying to start the car up again. But it wouldnt start.
Once she got her belt off she dove under the seat where her phone had slid. Finding her phone her hands shook as she put in her lock screen code. The light shone and she quickly found Micheal's number. She had few friends in this life but Micheal was with Casey and she didnt know who else to call.
She looked up at Dean he had reached over taking something from the glove compartment in front of her. April looked closer, he was assembling two guns and putting the bullets in the chamber. She heard the click as he assembled them.
The ring tone went on and on, it felt like an eternity but it had only been a few seconds while she waited for Micheal to answer. She tried to keep calm, as she wasn't scared for herself now, she was frightened because they were here for Dean.
She noticed that he was bleeding from his temple and blood ran down onto his shirt, April had no time to care about herself. She ripped her dress and applied pressure to Deans wound as he had his head lowered beside her as he assembled the guns.
She watched as men started to get out of their SUVs. All together there seemed to be about eight men in total all heavily armed with guns. That's when her phone finally connected and she heard Micheals cheery voice.
"Hey, beautiful how was your date?"
No time for his questions April rushed to ask fir help, "Micheal we are near Portstewart Beach we have crashed into a ditch there are men here with guns and our car won't start."
"On our way April." Michaels's voice became stern and comforting as she knew he wouldnt let her down.
The call was hung up and she looked up at Dean, her heart now pounding and her fingers trembling.
"April get in the driver's seat and keep trying the car". Dean demanded.
Dean and April swapped seats quickly. With the adrenaline running through her system she had no time to think or stop. She turned the keys turning the engine over and over praying that it would start in time.
Bang Bang Bang...
April heard the shots ring out. The silence that followed then rang in her ears filling her heart with dread. She then turned to glance at Dean, his broad back was facing her and she knew he was shooting back at the men. If he was confident then she was reassured that they would be safe.
Knowing they had to buy some time till help arrived. She tried and tried the car but it was not starting, frustration filled her they were powerless and couldn't run they could only fight back.
"Come on... aghhh." The car just wouldn't start, she hit the steering wheel with her fists.
Dean realised the car had broken down, he had to come up with a new plan. At this stage, he had shot two of the men that had tried to approach the car.
"Ba*tards," He hates devious and conniving methods.
He had dodged the bullets that they had fired at him. But he had felt a sharp pain in his chest and arm. He glanced down at his arm it had been grazed by a bullet.
He had to protect April, they were there for him not her after all. He got out of the car his gaze fierce and intense as he glared at the men assessing all six left standing, two lay on the ground moaning.
Bang... Bang...Bang
