Walter leaned back and said, "Alright, I'm chill now. You guys should head home and catch some Z's."

"Yeah, let's do this again soon. I didn't get you guys hammered this time, but next time, you're all getting trashed!" Alistair laughed. His clueless look didn't match his genuine smile. Walter gave a slight nod.

With some help from his crew, Alistair got into his ride, and a bunch of cars slowly rolled away from the curb.

As the cars disappeared, Walter's smile faded too.

Alton piped up, "Walter, they're way too paranoid. I did everything I could, but with so many eyes on us, we couldn't make a move. What's the plan now?"

Walter smirked, "It's not paranoia. Someone tipped them off."

"Who?" Alton's face went pale as he quickly added, "It wasn't me!"

Walter shot Alton a knowing look and said, "I know it wasn't you, but..."

Alton blinked, confused. "But what?"

"Watch your back. I'm outta here," Walter said.

He turned and hopped into his car. Before Alton could even process it, Walter's car was already gone.

Alton stood there, still trying to figure out Walter's cryptic message when suddenly, gunshots echoed through the quiet night.

Alton's face twisted with dread. He barked at his men, "Go check it out!"

The cars that had just pulled over had their tires shredded by nails scattered on the road.

Alistair was about to get out and curse when a loud bang went off. Hetastian yanked him down, dodging a bullet.

Still rattled, Alistair saw the car windows were shattered.

"Get down!" Hetastian yelled, and Alistair instinctively ducked under the seat.All rights © .

Gunfire pounded the car, and they could smell gas leaking.

They knew they couldn't stay put. They popped the left-side door and rolled into the roadside grass.

Their crew followed suit, diving into the grass.

Alistair's face was red with rage. "Alton tried to take me out! And I trusted that guy!"

Hetastian frowned beside him.

Fuming, Alistair pulled a gun from his coat and shouted, "Everyone, charge! If we don't take him out today, he's gonna get us. If you wanna live, follow me!" He was the first to rush out, firing shots into the grass on the right.

But there was no response from that side.

Meanwhile, Alton's guys showed up to check the scene. As soon as Alton saw Alistair and Hetastian getting out of the car, he fired two shots without hesitation. The others quickly drew their weapons, but Alistair's crew was ready. Alton's men were hit by stray bullets before they could react.

Seeing this from a distance, Alton was livid. Alistair had the nerve to kill his men on his turf!

"This is insane! Get everyone here. I want them dead!" Alton shouted furiously.

The driver, too scared to go forward, turned the car around and called for backup.

Alistair saw the car turning and immediately ordered his men to follow. They jumped into the car left by Alton's crew and chased after Alton. The situation had blown up. If they didn't catch Alton, they were dead meat!
