Run on Red: A gripping thriller with a killer twist Kindle

I blinked hard, realizing that the driver’s side airbag wasn’t nearly as full as mine. It had only partially deployed. Our front left tire dipped over the edge. The sharp edge of the boombox, then the light tap of the phone, clunked against my foot. I didn’t reach down to grab it. Instead, I clung to the floppy seatbelt, afraid to move, afraid to look out the window at the slope of the dark hillside yawning much too close. She was right: Home was almost an hour in the other direction. Would it be safer to try to get to the bonfire after all? Cold dread curdled in my gut, making my body feel heavy and slow, even as the adrenaline pumping through my veins made my legs itchy to run.It was pretty predictable that you knew Tony was the other guy, I’m not sure if that was suppose to be the big twist or not but I knew it was him before it was even said. My vision blurred. The Life cereal I’d eaten for breakfast churned. Laura squeezed my arm, whispering something about fun. Laura hadn’t moved again. I watched her chest rise and fall as reassurance that at least she was breathing easily while I took inventory of our options.

Tish would realize we were missing in the morning and send help. There was no need to think past the morning. We just had to sit tight. Narcissists think they’re smarter than everyone else. But that doesn’t mean they are. That’s how they get caught. They make mistakes. They underestimate the intelligence of police. And they underestimate the intelligence of their victims.” At first, I couldn’t stop shaking and crying. I still wasn’t sure what we should do next, but I wasn’t alone anymore. And we had a phone with enough battery power if we could just get it to connect. She hit the gas harder, and the Volvo flew faster down the dirt road.

The Volvo suddenly rattled hard. Was something falling apart? The bumper? Part of the undercarriage? The engine itself? I couldn’t see the speedometer, but I was certain that nobody had ever gone this fast in the Volvo for a very long time. The ancient car maxed out at fifty-five on a good day—and we were going much faster than that on the downhill now. Bam, bam, BAM. We hit something substantial with a teeth-rattling slam, mowing it down in a series of rapid-fire blows to the undercarriage. I shook my head, already second-guessing what I’d seen. “I—I couldn’t tell very much, but I really think we should turn around. There’s two guys. Neither one of them would look at me, and they were both wearing hoodies pulled all the way up over their—” College students Laura and Olivia are on their way to bonfire night dressed to party not dressed to run for their lives. By the time they realise they are being followed and this isn’t a case of road rage things take a massive turn for the worse.
