The Heiress who Chose not to Fail
"We have to get to the police station," Mom said, her voice shaking.
"I'm trying!" Dad said, fighting to control the driving wheel.
That's when I saw them in the rearview mirror. Two black cars were following us, getting closer and closer.
"Dad, they're behind us!" I screamed.
"I see them," he said, his mouth tight.
He turned the corner so fast that our car went up on two wheels. I thought we were going to flip over, but somehow we stayed standing.
"There!" Mom pointed ahead. "The police station!"
But just as we got close to safety, something terrible happened.
The turning wheel stopped working.
"I can't turn!" Dad shouted. "They cut the steering cable too!"
We were heading straight for a big tree at the end of the street. Dad tried everything, but the car wouldn't change direction.
"I love you both so much," Mom said, reaching back to grab my hand.
"I love you too," I said, tears running down my face.
Then everything went black.
