34 | Let the race begin

(3rd pov)

Selena's new car was the first one marching in the road. Followed by Leonardo's and Matteo's as well. She was on full speed heading to the location they had set to do the race. She was fully enraged with how those guys want to bring leonardo down by using his friends.

She tapped the pedal even harder and kept on rising speed. They all were linked through a headphone which Leonardo warned her to go slower. “Selena, slow down.”

She tapped on the pedal and breathed out. She is really getting out of control and that's bad, cause if she loses control everything may fall off and she still doesn't understand why they warned her about this. What is their ulterior motive?

“In five, we'll be there. Mattias stand on ground and ready.” Leonardo commanded.

“Yes sir!” He responded.

(Selena's pov)

I cannot feel my feet. I am burning inside me in flames and I'm already setting on fire inside my head. Whatever may happen it is pure luck, and I cannot depend on luck. Cause we all know... it is not on my side.

Leonardo stops in front of my car and Mattias's one and gets out first. No one is around here, so he tells us to stay still inside while he checks the grounds out. He pulls his gun out of his armory wrapped around his lower waist.

I clench into mine too. Afraid someone may pull any surprise moves and kill us all as they may have done with Aless and Alice. I wander my eyes, everywhere. I do not leave a place unchecked and no sight of the two or any suspicious guy who may kill us.

“Lower your weapons and all get out of your cars!” A voice tells from a close distance.

I can't see anyone cause Leonardo's car stands in front of me so I just do as told. Of course I keep my gun at hand and not listen to any fool rule like put your gun down and as I get out, setting one foot first and then my other, my boots making a loud bang on the ground.

I look at a very familiar face... He is also a wanted criminal. Just... for stealing cars. What's with Leonardo and associating with criminals?... oh yeah. He is one. I blink and focus on the situation instead of the other one for later.

“I said... weapons down young lady!” All eyes turn on me. Great.

“Yeah, I'm not deaf.” Old man.

I turn my head at Leonardo, asking him with my expression as in what to do and indeed he tells me to lower my gun. Without hesitation I do just that and put my hands up in the air, don't know if he said that but better safe than sorry. The irony.

“Great!” He comes closer with five other men. All armed.

Again without thinking I lower my hand to grab my other weapon, cause who would walk into a bloody war with only one and I hear all the guns load and turn on me.

In a second Leonardo is standing before me, shielding me with his body and grabbing the arm I was about to take my gun out with. “Are you trying to get us killed, Calebs?” He whispered into my ear, pushing my hair to the side.

“W-what?” I stutter. Surprised and confused.

I take a deep breath. “They'll kill us anyway. Look at the weapons!” Is he blind or is he just trying to push my buttons? They are gone kill us!
