The Midnight Pursuit
Chapter 1: The Warning in the Night
The car sped through the dark night, its headlights flashing, warning the incoming traffic. Jason Cole tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his jaw clenched as he weaved through the narrow road. Beside him sat Anna, holding a small metal briefcase close to her chest.
“Do you think we’ll make it?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
“We don’t have a choice,” Jason replied. “If we stop, they’ll catch us.”
The sky was moonless, and the dense forest on either side of the road seemed to close in around them. Behind them, headlights appeared in the distance—a black SUV gaining ground.
“They’re catching up!” Anna exclaimed.
Jason cursed under his breath. The contents of the briefcase could change everything. It held evidence that could expose a corrupt conglomerate controlling the city’s major institutions. For months, Jason, a former investigative journalist, had worked undercover to gather this information. Anna, a whistleblower from inside the corporation, was his only ally.
“Trust me,” Jason said, glancing at her. “I’ll get us out of this.”
Chapter 2: No Escape
The SUV behind them was relentless, closing the distance with every second. A sudden crack echoed in the night as a bullet shattered their rear window.
“They’re shooting at us!” Anna shouted, ducking instinctively.
Jason swerved, narrowly avoiding a fallen branch on the road. His mind raced. Ahead, he spotted a side road that veered sharply to the left. Without hesitation, he turned, tires screeching as the car skidded onto the gravel path.
The forest grew thicker, the road narrower. The SUV followed, its headlights cutting through the darkness like predatory eyes.
“They won’t stop,” Anna said, panic creeping into her voice.
Jason’s eyes darted to the rearview mirror. “Then neither will we.”
Chapter 3: The Forest Trap
As the chase continued, Jason spotted an old, dilapidated cabin hidden among the trees. A plan began to form in his mind.
“Hold on,” he said, turning sharply off the road and heading toward the cabin.
The car skidded to a halt in front of the structure. Jason and Anna jumped out, grabbing the briefcase and a small duffel bag from the trunk.
“We can’t stay here long,” Jason said, ushering Anna inside.
The cabin was dark and musty, with cobwebs...
