Chapter 52 - After the Dream

Tess couldn’t have turned around and looked behind if she had a chance; she was sandwiched between the Councilman and one of his goons.  When the earpiece attached to her earring had gone dead, she could only hope that Brody got her signal.  Chewing on the inside of her cheek, she cautiously looked at the man sitting beside her.  He hadn’t uttered one word since they’d gotten in the car.  The driver kept looking at her in the mirror and she tried to avoid making eye contact with him as well. 

When the car turned a corner in a rush speed, the councilman’s weight hit her.  The only reason they would speed up had to mean they were being followed.  She knew Dom well enough to know if he was the one driving there was no way this driver was going to be able to lose him—the man had chased down a perp on foot more than once; in a vehicle he was a demon.  All she had to do was hold it together until backup got here.
