Chapter 29 - Pedro in action

Haley immediately became nervous when she heard that. She turned back to see two cars behind them as he had said. The other was following the first car barely showing itself. Since it was early in the morning there was no other car on the road.

"How do you know they are after us"she asked with an hint of fear in her voice. But Pedro didn't answer her as he kept quiet with a calm look on his face. This left Haley a little confused as she expected him to have some level of concern on his face but his face carried no emotion like he had not said anything that should be a source of concern.

Suddenly Pedro pulled out a a pistol from the joggers.

"Wait what!! How did you get a gun? Haley asked wide eyed as she looked at him with unbelief in her eyes.

"Just keep quiet and continue driving " He ordered her in a firm voice.

Haley who was naturally a stubborn woman had no other choice than to obey him at this moment because the cold look on his face was something she was not used to. He looked like he was ready to kill anyone that would come in his way.

"Slow the car down a little and turn left swiftly when I ask you to " he ordered again

Haley immediately began to slow down as she wondered what he had in mind to do. Left to her she woukd have thought of out running them since they are two cars she would be unable to think of any other solution.

She watched from the corners of her eyes as Pedro checked the gun and the bullet to ensure he had what he needed. She wondered how long he must have been in possession of a gun. She also saw the cars gaining on them from the side mirror snd became alarmed immediately.

"Turn now" he half yelled at her.

Haley suddenly turned the car and it position in such a way that car was facing the incoming cars with side of Pedro facing them. Almost immediately Pedro shot at the cars one by one in such speed that even Haley could not keep up with the movement of his hands. Some shots went to the screen while others went to the tires.

"Move move move!! He yelled at her to continue the journey.

Haley swiftly did as commanded as she increased the speed of the car. To her surprise the cars didn't even follow them again as they seem to have stopped on that spot.

"Did you just kill those people or what? She asked worried he might be dragging her into something she didn't plan for..

"No I just scared them and then deflated the tires. They won't be able to follow us again. So for now we are safe " He replied with an evil smile on his face.

"Thank goodness" she whispered to herself. It was already bad she was helping him she would not want to add another crime.

"You should be worried about who they were. Were they for me or for you. And how do they know the exact occupants of the car for them to follow " Pedro informed her.

Yes he was right she reasoned but then she could not possibly go back to investigate that. Second her mind was occupied with what she just saw. The shots of Pedro was so perfect even in a moving car. She wondered what kind of training he must have received for him to even have the feeling that they were being followed. She could swear he had really change and she doesn't know if she should be happy or scared about the change.
