Chasing Shadows – Chapter 1: The Stranger and the GTO The GTO purred. Metallic blue. Chrome glinting in the morning sun. A beast built for speed—and chaos. Evan leaned against the hood. His arms crossed, eyes scanning the parking lot. The airport was waking up. But he wasn’t watching the planes. She appeared. Mia. Dark bob. Sharp eyes. Athletic build. She walked with purpose—like she belonged anywhere. “Is this yours?” she asked, voice low, steady. Evan smirked. “Yeah. You thinking of hitching a ride?” She didn’t smile back. Her gaze locked onto his. “I’m not here to ride.” Silence. “I need your help.” The air tightened between them. Her presence felt like gravity, pulling him in. “Help with what?” She hesitated. Just for a second. “I need a driver.” The GTO’s engine waited, coiled and ready. Evan could feel it under his skin. “Where to?” he asked, voice steady. Mia’s lips curved into the faintest smile. “Anywhere but here.” The engine roared to life. The world blurred. The chase had begun. Chasing Shadows – Chapter 2: The Chase Begins The tires screamed. The GTO roared down the highway, a streak of chrome and fury. Evan’s hands were steady on the wheel. Eyes locked on the road. Jaw tight. Mia was beside him. Calm. Almost too calm. “Who are they?” Evan barked, glancing at the rearview mirror. Headlights. Three sets. Closing in fast. “They won’t stop,” Mia said, her voice low. “Just drive.” The cars behind them—black, unmarked—moved like predators. Evan shifted gears. The GTO leapt forward. The highway blurred into streaks of light. One of the cars crept closer, headlights blazing. Mia’s hand shot out, gripping the dashboard. “Faster.” Evan gritted his teeth. The engine screamed. The GTO danced between lanes, tires skimming the edge of control. Mia watched Evan. Her sharp eyes flicked to his hands, his face, his focus. “You’ve done this before.” Evan’s lips curled into a tight grin. “Not quite like this.” The lead car surged closer—too close. Evan cut hard left. The GTO skidded, tires smoking. The black car overshot. For a second, silence. Mia exhaled. Evan’s hands stayed tight on the wheel. But the headlights were still there. Still hunting. “They’re not done.” Mia’s voice was steady. Evan nodded. His foot pressed harder on the pedal. The chase wasn’t over. Not yet.
