The Bodies One By One

Chapter 52

Melissa pressed her foot down on the pedal to the point her foot touched the bottom, 'come on you useless piece of shit!' She snarled as she tried to steady the car. Her eyes flicked up at the rear view mirror. The black car was now following her, at least they weren't at the building. Ms. Mallow gripped the seat tightly, 'where are we going!?' She yelled, but Melissa couldn't even answer because she didn't know, she just wanted to steer the car away from her father. 
She took a turn that led her away from the town and the car lurched as it left the bumpy shrubbery and met gravel. She hit the gas again and the car sped forward as it gripped the road with ease. Again, she looked into the rear view mirror and saw the car following. 

'I don't know where we're going, but all I know is that we're going to try and lose this idiot!'

Melissa finally answered Ms. Malloy, as she turned the steering wheel, causing the car to jolt to the right. She managed to dodge a small car coming from the opposite direction. Her heart was pounding against her rib cage. The sun was no longer shining as the clouds took over the sky and Melissa started to panic when she saw little droplets of rain his her windshield. She wouldn't be able to drive in this kind of weather, especially at this speed, and she couldn't afford to slow down, it was too late. 

Baloc cursed when he noticed little droplets of rain hit his windshield and he hit the gas once again, he had to get closer to the car. The sky was no longer blue and he could see that the clouds had eaten the sun, who's time was up. A storm was brewing, and Baloc made it his mission to catch this car before the rain interrupted the chase. 

Melissa carefully maneuvered the car as the weather grew worse. The gravel was soaked, which meant that the journey was going to be slippery. Whilst she was driving, she began to think.
What would happen if she got caught?
What would happen if she got away?'
Whoever would catch her would keep her away from her father, and if she got away, she still had to drive far away and who knows how long it would be. She had also left her father alone to fend for himself, two men against one, surely an unfair fight.

'The weather is getting worse! Can't you slow down?'

Ms. Malloy yelled, but Melissa shook her head, 'we can't do that, otherwise they'll catch us, they could even run us off the road if we're not careful!' She did have to slow down a little to take a turn, and up ahead she saw a bridge, 'I shouldn't have done this!' Ms. Malloy screamed, 'I shouldn't have gone to you two! Had I'd known your father was so fucked up!' 
Melissa's blood began to boil, 'my father is not fucked up! Don't you dare speak about him like that!'

'You don't like the truth, do you!?'

'Shut the fuck up!'

Melissa almost skidded off the road, 'you shut the fuck up! I can't wait until we're out of this car, I'll kill you!' 

'Oh don't worry, we're going to get out of this car'.

Ms. Malloy yelled back, and she lifted herself off the back passenger seat, lunged towards the front of the drivers side and brought her leg up.
It all happened so quickly, as they just got onto the bridge. Ms. Malloy had brought her foot down onto the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve suddenly. Melissa screamed as the vehicle twisted and the tyres gave way from the sudden jolt of the steering wheel.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the car couldn't resist through the rain and it flipped. Ms. Malloy flew side ways having no seat belt on. Melissa struggled to keep herself in the seat. But the car jerked around violently, and at that split second, Melissa looked through the windshield and saw the suspensions that held the bridge halfway and she knew she could do nothing but brace herself and hope for the best. 
The car slammed into the suspensions and both Melissa and Ms. Malloy flew forward. The windows shattered to pieces showering the both of them. Ms. Mallow slid through the windshield but was able to grab a hold of the bonnet, and because of the add on of her weight at the front of the car, it began to slide over the edge. Because of the speed that Melissa was driving the car, the impact was devastating which meant that the suspension would not be able to hold the vehicle for too long. The bridge would still hold as there were multiple suspensions to keep it from falling.
