Two explosions erupted down the street, the shockwaves echoing between the empty buildings.

Cindy scrambled into the back seat first, dragging Na-rin in after her. The moment they were inside, Jaxon grabbed the edge of the truck bed and threw himself over it in one smooth motion. "Go, go, go!"
Isabel didn't hesitate. She slammed the accelerator as she spun the wheel sharply. The engine roared as the Hilux surged forward, tires screeching as it shot down the road and away from the city blocks.
