The sky turned pitch black, and a torrential downpour slammed into the city right on cue.
Nancy had planted informants within the Orca Group, confirming that Andres had gone to the office that morning, leaving a heavily pregnant Maeve resting at home.
Speeding down the slick highway, Nancy smiled with predatory satisfaction.
*Let's see how you survive this one, Maeve.*
Within minutes, she rendezvoused with the blockade Gideon had organized.
With over twenty vehicles at their disposal, there was no way Andres was getting through.
Gideon was only risking this stunt for the twenty million dollars Nancy had promised him.
Once this job was done, he and his crew were going to disappear.
Twenty million was enough to keep him comfortable for the rest of his life.
The rain sheeted down from the heavens, accompanied by the low, ominous rumble of thunder in the distance.
To get back to Azure Bay from the office, Andres had to pass through this exact intersection.
According to her spy, Andres had been in a board meeting just ten minutes ago.
The moment the sky darkened, he abruptly terminated the meeting and bolted.
Perfect. Everything was playing right into Nancy's hands.
The fleet of twenty cars formed a solid wall, completely choking the intersection.
They allowed regular traffic to squeeze by, ensuring they only trapped the White family's convoy.
Even so, the bottleneck caused a massive traffic jam, leaving stranded drivers honking and cursing into the storm.
Gideon's voice crackled through the phone. "The White convoy will hit the intersection in two minutes."
Nancy's lips curled into a vicious smirk.
*Let's see if you have the power to protect her this time, Andres.*
Down the road, Andres sat in the back of his luxury SUV, feeling his chest tighten as the traffic ground to a halt.
"Murray, what's the situation?"
He had called Maeve five minutes ago, and she was fine. The rain was heavy, but the lightning hadn't started yet.
She threw her head back and let out a hysterical, unhinged laugh.
"Just how much evil must that bitch have committed to be hunted by lightning over and over again?"
Murray lost his temper and screamed out the window. "Shut up, you psycho! If being evil got you struck by lightning, you'd be the first one fried to a crisp!"
Knowing Maeve was trapped at home desperately waiting for Andres to save her, Murray wished the sky would vaporize Nancy on the spot.
But Nancy's words seemed cursed.
A deafening crack of thunder finally shattered the sky.
Andres wanted to snap Nancy's neck more than Murray did, but this wasn't the time to play games. He had to get back to Azure Bay immediately.
Every boom of thunder felt like a whip lashing across his heart.
Maeve couldn't be hurt. His unborn children couldn't be hurt.
"Murray, ram through them."
He would deal with the fallout later.
