NovelEnglishChapter 404 Drift or Die Trying
The four of them stumbled out of the cafe in chaos, the shouts of men in black echoing behind them. They barely
managed to shove Shawn into the back seat before he lost consciousness completely.
Sloane checked his pulse, her face draining of color. “It's a neurotoxin!”
She exchanged a look with Lucas—no words needed. This had Jessica written all over it.
Jaslammed his foot on the gas; the car shot into the night with a roar. In the rearview mirror, several black-
clad figures burst out of the alley in pursuit.
“Hospital?” Jaasked tensely.
“There's no time!” Sloane tore open Shawn's collar, revealing a small puncture mark already turning blue. “Find
a safe place-1 have to neutralize the poison now!”
Jaswerved through traffic, tires screeching. Sloane pulled a small pouch of needles from her bag, dabbed a
finger against the toxin on Shawn's neck, and brought it to her nose. “It's a hybrid poison refined from South
American poison dart frog secretions; if we don’t purge the venom within three hours, he won't make it.”
Jafloored the accelerator, the steering wheel responding like an extension of his will. “Hold on!” he shouted.
The car shot into a narrow alley barely wide enough for one vehicle. In the mirror, two black SUVS followed close
behind like bloodthirsty hounds, their headlights slicing through the darkness.
“Turn right up ahead!” Lucas barked.
Jaime’s mouth curled into a wild grin. His right hand yanked the handbrake while his left spun the wheel hard.
The tires screamed, rubber burning against asphalt; the car drifted perfectly into the side street, rear bumper
grazing the wall and throwing off a shower of sparks. Sloane clutched the unconscious Shawn tightly, three
gleaming needles already pinched between her fingers.
A deafening gunshot exploded behind them. The rear window shattered instantly, shards of glass raining down

leaving shallow cuts across his skin.
“Are you okay?” he asked, voice tight.
Sloane lifted her head in his arms. “I'm fine. What about you-are you hurt?”
Lucas held her close, unflinching. “I'm fine.”
“God damn it!” Jaswore, twisting the wheel sharply. The car roared into an underground parking lot, tires
skidding across the slick floor as the vehicle slid sideways into a parking
space.

The second SUV screeched to a stop, tires smoking. Its window rolled down-revealing the black barrel of a gun.
