Ellie perked up. "Ryan, we're saved!"
But Ryan's expression didn't lighten. He tightened his jaw, staring ahead. "Not yet."
Ellie blinked at his words, then looked out the front window, realizing their car was slowing down but not fast enough, especially with a turn coming up ahead.
If they didn't stop before the turn, they'd likely smash into the nearby building!
There was still danger!
"What do we do?" Ellie asked, panic rising in her voice.
Ryan clenched his jaw.
Just then, the driver's side window of the car ahead rolled down, and Keira's slender arm extended out, signaling them with a hand gesture.
"What's she doing?" Ellie wondered, confusion washing over her.
Ryan didn't answer; instead, he turned to Ellie and said firmly, "Hold on to something and brace yourself!"
"Okay!" she replied, but before she could fully process his words, she saw Keira slam the brakes!
