Beintehaan (Completed)

26. The Black SUV

Priyanka felt rattled. Literally. Her bones felt as if they had been unhinged, as she sat gripping onto the steering wheel, for dear life. A dull pain throbbed at the back of her head. Her knees stiff, and weak as they were pinned to the lower dash board. Her chest heaved from the impact.

Her ears were ringing and, somewhere through the chaos she heard someone yelling.

" Priyanka!" Arjun's voice loud and clear, broke through her.

With gasp, she unfroze " what's happening!" She croaked finding her voice. Their car was rolling slowly through a bumpy road, dust was raised, swirling around them.

"accelerator" Arjun yelled. " NOW!"

And just like that her foot stepped on it. Their car groaned, but shot forward, breaking from the hazardous dusty mist.

They were still on the road, the collision had skewered their car a few feet down the road but luckily they were still straight.

" watha hell is happening!" she shrieked trying to doge cars. The speed meter moved to 80mph. This was fastest she had ever driven.

" I don't know. Someone in the black SUV is hitting us. Just keep driving. You need to sped up!"

" Sped up!??" Priyanka yelled. The wind rushed through her open window, lashing strands of her hair against her face.

" I can't" she whimpered. As she dodged, hitting a car.

"We need to switch places" he said.

" oh OK do you want me to pull over?" Their car slowed dropping to a 60mph.

WHAM! The black SUV rammed into them. Both of them jerked forward. She pressed herself into her seat, narrowly missing, getting her head banged to the front.

" no don't pull over! Damn it woman!" Arjun yelled, rubbing his head where he hit himself.

" sorry sorry!" Priyanka yelled and gave the accelerator a small nudge, reluctantly. " I am going to die" she whispered to herself, panic already building in her chest.

" why are they even hitting us!? Are they insane!" she yelled.

" I have no idea but I ain't staying back to find out!"

" Alright common!" Arjun said, bending down.

" what are you doing?!" she asked, alarmed.

" Am going to push your seat back. Don't you dare loose the accelerator. Got it?"

She nodded shakily. He bent down and she felt his hands between her ankles. Suddenly her seat jerked back. She gasped, barely being able to keep her foot on the accelerator. Her eyes flickered to the review mirror, her heart thumped wildly when she saw the black SUV right behind them.

Arjun was up in his seat, " woah woah watch out for th-!!!!" too late, their car slammed into the side of, another car onto their left and screeched forward.

" Shit!" he cursed.

" Am so sorry" she whimpered.

" it's fine, just keep going." He urged.

"Priyanka listen to me kay?" he said after a second, placing a hand on her shoulder.

She nodded, her eyes crazily dancing on the road.

" am going to switch you to the passenger seat. You are not going to let go off the controls unless I tell you to OK?" he instructed, speaking urgently.

She had barely nodded, when suddenly she was moving. Hot arms wrapped around her waist , lifting her hips. Her heart jumped into her throat as she felt him slid beneath her.
