Gavin raced down the
gravel road, driving furiously until he saw the devastating sight. Alexa’s car
set on its side, bright flames and dark smoke drifting from its ruins. Remi, and Gavin jumped out of
the car and ran to the disfigured vehicle. Heat still steamed off the metal in
shimmery waves.
Gavin ran up as
close as he could to get a look inside but saw nothing. He turned around in a
circle searching for clues, then looked at the cabin and saw the upstairs
windows open. He pulled out his Glock, “The house,” he said. Remi and his men
took attack positions around the perimeter of the home. Gavin tried to catch
his breath. Remi was already at the front door and gestured for him to take the
back.
