watched drivers cuss him out as he missed their cars by a hair and kept going. Twisting her head, she saw two cars whip around and start towards the wrong side of the highway.
    “They’re going to follow us. We are all going to die.”
    “We’re not going to die,” Tane said, hauling her body up against his. He waved out the window at the driver that just flipped them the bird.
    “There’s an exit coming up, see it on the right side of the road? We are going to over shoot it then cross the barrier and make our way back to it. They are far enough back that they won’t know we are no longer on the highway until it’s too late.”
    She watched as Dai turned the wheel and began crossing the barrier by doing a one eighty with the car. Her stomach was in her feet while her heart was where her stomach belonged and her animal was clawing her up on the inside. This was why she never went into the military or any other frightening arm of the law. Stunts like these scared the life out of her.
    The car skidded and leveled out on two wheels as they made it to the other side of the road. She was too petrified to even let out a squeak of protest as she waited to die in a heap of twisted metal followed by a fire.
    The car slammed down on all four tires and Dai raced to the exit. They took that exit at a speed she didn’t want to contemplate. He hit the brakes slowing them down and merging into traffic.
    “Clear,” Tane said.
    “Clear,” Jay echoed.
    Leza collapsed in Tane’s arms as her breathing tried to return to normal.
    “You guys live an exciting life.”
    “It’s your life now.”
    Tane’s hands rubbed her back slowly easing the tension out of her shoulders. They felt so good caressing then squeezing her muscles. His hands were deft touching her in magical places she didn’t know she wanted to be stroked.
    “What do we do now?” she asked on a deep sigh of pleasure.
    “It’s time to get rid of this vehicle. We have another one lined up.”
    “You thought of everything didn’t you?” She looked up into Tane’s eyes.
    “Not just me. This is a group effort; we all contributed because all of our lives are on the line. Also if just one person planned the whole op they would be on us because they know how we think. But together we can keep them off balance.”
    “Maybe next time I’ll be able to help.” He ran his hand over her cheek as she pressed closer to his chest.
    “Next time, for now keep those ears open. If you hear something that shouldn’t be here let us know. The military sometimes uses vehicles that use a different engine than the norm. You will be able to hear the difference.”
    “I’ll listen.”
    “We’re here,” Dai said into the silence of the car.
    Leza looked up to see a used car dealership on the side of the road. They had every make and model of car as well as several campers. Dai pulled into the dealership not stopping until he was in the back, hidden from the prying eyes of those driving the highway.
    She waited until Tane gave a nod indicating she could get out. Standing next to him she looked around for a sales person.
    A tall dark haired man came out the backdoor looking around before he came over to them.
    “It’s waiting for you. I already have the SUV in my system; it will look like it was traded a week ago for a smaller car.”
    The man shuffled from foot to foot looking nervous. She wondered why he was helping.
    The man looked at Jay and lowered his voice, “Janice says hello.”
    A soft smile hit Jay’s face before he shut it down. “Tell her I’m ok and kiss Olivia for me.”
    “I will, don’t die there’s no way I can tell her that. So stay alive.”
    “As far as anyone knows you never saw me. So it would be better if you didn’t tell her anything.” A small smile tugged at his lips as he thought about his sister.
    He nodded, “I know. If you were me and you were looking into those eyes what would you do?”
    “Anything to make her happy.”
    The man took
