chapter 87

THIRD PERSON'S pov.

Lucas suddenly stepped on the brakes, which made him and Fatima jerked forward as the car came to an abrupt stop.

He looked ahead of them, but squinted his eyes as bright headlights shone directly in his eyes, and blinded his vision.

He faced Fatima whose eyes were also squinted, but her hand was already reaching for her gun and she was ready to jump out of the car at any second.

"Hey" he called her softly, and she faced him with a frown. "Don't come out, just stay in here, let me and the guys take care of them" he told her.

She raised her left eyebrow at him.

"What is that supposed to mean? Are you underestimating me?" she asked.

His eyes widened slightly, and he quickly shook his head.

"No, not at all"

"Then why are telling me to stay in the car?" she asked.

Lucas stared at her for a brief moment, then he sighed and reached for the gun in her hand, and gently collected it from her.
