Chapter eighty

Alex took the wheel, speeding away from the market. But Smith had used Alex's earlier stop to close in on him, and soon they were being chased again.

Smith started shooting at them, the bullets hitting the car with a loud thud. Alex floored it, trying to outrun Smith and his gang.

Suddenly Alex heard the sounds of the police sirens. "Yes! We are f**king saved!" Alex exclaimed.

However, the police didn't know who was the bad guy, so when Smith shot at them, they also retaliated and started shooting both Smith's car and Alex's car.

"Stop now, or we will be forced to take drastic measures!" A policeman ordered with a megaphone.

"Damn it... The officers probably think we are criminals too, so they are not really on our side." Alex said, a hint of anger, and frustration in his voice.

"Then we could stop, and try explaining things to them," Sophia suggested.
