Citrine rattled off their current location, then added bluntly, "Send someone to get
us out of here. If you're late, you'll be picking up our bodies."
She didn't give Vester a chance to reply-just hung up.
"Can he be trusted?" Sebastian's voice was laced with a hint of sarcasm.
He tried not to sound jealous, but seeing Citrine put all her hopes on Vester left him uneasy.
Citrine kept her eyes on the road, hands tight on the wheel. She didn't answer him directly. Instead, her tone was
cool: "Now call Sherman."
Sebastian followed orders, dialing the number. The call connected almost immediately.
Citrine was direct and to the point: "Bring your team and getout. Darius Archer wantsdead."
She hung up again, nodding at Sebastian to send their location.
Sebastian, who had looked sullen just moments before, realized he'd misunderstood her and felt a pang of guilt.
He offered a quiet apology. "Sorry. | shouldn't have doubted you."
"You actually thought I'd put all my faith in Vester?" Citrine's grip on the steering wheel tightened as she stared
ahead.
A small, wry smile broke across her face. "I haven't known him that long. Do | really look that naive to you?"
Sebastian glanced sideways at her, studying her profile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo, she wasn't naive at all. She was sharp and resourceful-no way would she trust her life to someone she barely
knew.
The cars chasing them clung to their tail like a pack of hunting dogs. The relentless pursuit was starting to wear
on Citrine.
They were in the city now, weaving through streets crowded with pedestrians and cars. If their pursuers started
shooting, innocent people could get hurt.
After a moment's thought, Citrine said, "Let's take the side streets. There are too many people on this road-we
can't risk civilians getting caught in the crossfire."
Sebastian hesitated, his heart softening. He glanced at the people passing by on the sidewalks and nodded.
Without another word, Citrine yanked the wheel and shot into a deserted alleyway. She floored the accelerator,
the car leaping forward.
The cars behind tried to box them in, but didn't expect Citrine to veer off so suddenly. Faces set in grime

A sharp crack rang out the window shattered. If Sebastian hadn't ducked in time,
that bullet would have found his temple.
"You okay?" Citrine asked, eyes on the road and speed climbing.
They were unarmed. Trying to fight back now would be suicide. Sebastian wiped a trickle of blood from his
hairline. "I'm fine."
"Good." Citrine didn't dare ease up on the gas.
The gunfire from behind was relentless, bullets pinging off the car's frame.
Citrine focused on driving, weaving through the narrow streets.
