Outside was as cold as ice. Aiden, Marina, Jayden, and Amira walked through through the back entrance of the safe house, they walked hurriedly through the forest. Marina's breath turned into gasps as she struggled to keep up with Aiden.
They had barely made it out of the chase and dangers when headlights shone through the trees ahead.
They had been found.
Aiden came to an abrupt stop, pushing Marina behind a tree as the powerful beams illuminated their path. Jayden and Amira crouched behind a fallen log, and brought out their weapons.
A red SUV rolled forward, its tires crunching against the dirt and some rotten woods. The vehicle stopped... for a moment, there was a deafening silence. Then, the doors opened.
"Stay down." Aiden whispered.
The some men emerged, their faces couldn't be seen, but their stature told they were tall...and armed. These were Maxwell's men.
