“Ashley!” Lily cried.
She spun, looking from the girl to Cole. White-knuckled, he grasped the wheel, pain clear in every tense line of his face. Drawing air between gritted teeth, he whipped the sedan around another car.
“Any more?” he growled.
Turning, she checked the distant on-ramp. Her brow drew down. Midday travelers and semis occupied the interstate for miles.
But of the other three security vehicles, there was nothing.
“No,” she answered warily.
He swallowed hard and swiped a hand at the sweat dripping into his eyes. “Good,” he replied, the word sounding as though he’d just as soon it be a curse.
Scanning the road, she ignored him. On a lazy curve, the elevated highway swept toward the heart of Banston, most of which was veiled by a haze of smog. Beyond the guardrails edging the interstate, concrete drainage slopes led to deep ditches and a line of ragged trees trying unsuccessfully to shield the older sections of town from view.
White metal flashed at the corner of her eye, and her gaze snapped back to the highway. Half a mile ahead, three security vehicles sped down the off-ramp and charged into the oncoming traffic.
Her eyes darted from the trucks to Cole.
And then their magic was coming.
Electricity lashed across a semi ahead. The tires exploded, sending the truck careening, and then the semi jack-knifed hard. The front whipped back toward the trailer, catching on the blown tires. With lethal speed, the truck slammed down and ground across the width of the highway in a fountain of sparks and screaming metal.
Cole hit the brakes.
Two security vehicles raced around the ends of the skidding semi.
Swearing, Cole looked from the white vehicles to the semi-truck.
“Go!” Ashe shouted.
He crushed the accelerator to the floor.
The sedan surged toward the semi. Pulling in sharply, the security trucks veered toward the center of the road.
Ashe stretched her hands out to either side.
The car shot between the white pickup trucks.
“Now!” Cole yelled.
Her magic obliterated the windows and the vehicles beyond.
Spinning in her seat, she watched as the trucks tumbled across the interstate, the vehicles flying apart as they rolled. Twisting the wheel sharply, Cole raced the sedan through the narrow gap between the semi and the metal pylons dividing the interstate.
Lily screamed.
Cole slammed on the brakes.
She turned.
There was a car.
Propelled by magic, a blue sports car flew through the air like a child’s toy, heading straight toward them, and she had no time. Metal howled as the car slammed into them, the destruction racing her magic to reach the occupants of the sedan.
Her shields enveloped them.
Glass exploded as the hood crumpled and the whole world went sideways. The magic behind the impact threw the green sedan backwards, and the steel pylons dividing the highway vanished as the car plowed over them and began to roll. Concrete flashed past the windows, grating and screaming and kicking up shattered glass to fly through the chaos in the car.
And then they were airborne.
