CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
The stop was sudden.
We were whizzing along, and then suddenly our vehicle veered to the left, then right, and we skidded to a halt. I grabbed my armrest to keep from falling over, and after the second veer, Jonah slammed an arm over my chest, cementing me in place. The two guards were holding on themselves, but trying to watch out for Tanner and Jonah at the same time.
“What the hell?” Tanner said once we were at a complete stop, but he should’ve held his breath.
The doors flew open. The guards jumped out, guns already drawn, and they stood point for a second. Then, they put their guns back in their holsters and leaned down.
Almost speaking in unison, they said, “Mr. Bennett, please exit the vehicle.”
Jonah and Tanner shared a look, both frowning, but they got out.
