Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1656

It all happened in a flash. Randy couldn't even tell how the shooting started.

"What're you doing? Hide!" Erica yelled.

He jolted, quickly ducking behind a tree.

This was life or death. Bullets didn't care who they hit. Taking cover was important.

He peeked out and saw Erica charging ahead. It reminded him of their childhood.

She had been Caleb's favorite, but he had thought her skills were just girly fluff.

Now? The gap was glaring. She was a beast, and he was a chicken.

Up ahead, Lara couldn't gauge how many were coming.

A guy ran up, reporting their hidden crew got wiped by Marion. Unsure of the enemy's numbers, they held back.

Lara's eyes narrowed. She believed that Marion's desperation was driven by Debra's death.

"He's courting death," she sneered. "I thought he was smart. Turns out he's so dumb."

Turning to the messenger, she ordered, "Tell Michael's people to close in. We're boxing them up and wiping them out."

"Miss, we can't."

"What?"

"Mr. Austin's crew pulled out."

"Pulled out? Who told them to?"

"Do it," Marion ordered.

His crew had been with him forever, understanding his every move. Those suckers were done for.

They quickly pulled out lighters and doused the path ahead with fuel. If Lara's team took that route, the flames would swallow them.

"Miss, it's burning."

"How's it spreading so fast?"

Then she realized it was Marion's trap.

This guy, always quiet behind Debra, pulled a dirty trick when it counted.
