02 Dragon - Capturing Cara Read Online Free PDF Page A

pickup on all four wheels; she was definitely going to grill Carmen on how she was able to keep upright on a motorcycle.

    Cara bit back an expletive of her own when she hit a particularly deep pothole. The headlights of the truck bounced up and down wildly giving the already dark night a more sinister feel. Cara twisted the steering wheel sharply to the left to miss another hole than had to make sure she didn’t over-correct when the wheels hit a soft spot.

    “Do you see her?” Trish asked anxiously. “I can barely see a thing. I would hate for Carmen to wreck in the middle of the road and not see her until too late.”

    “She’s fine. I think I saw some break lights up ahead through the trees.” Ariel bit out between bumps. “God, Cara. Do you think you could hit any more ruts?” Ariel cried out after Cara hit a particularly bad one knocking her into Trish. Cara heard Trish groan as her head hit the passenger side window.
     
    “I’m doing the best I can. It is darker than shit out here and I don’t think this road has ever been graded! You try driving over twenty miles an hour on it and see if you can do any better.” Cara said crossly as she swerved to miss a branch laying half in and half out of the road. The sound of metal being scraped was loud as another branch ran down the side of the truck.

    “I can fix that.” Cara said loudly over the screeching. She had no sooner gotten past the fallen debris when a flash behind the truck drew her attention.
     
    “Son-of-a-bitch! What was that?” Cara bit out seeing flames erupted behind the truck through the rearview mirror.

    Ariel twisted around trying to see out the back window. “I don’t know. You didn’t hit the gas tank or anything did you?”

    “Of course, she didn’t.” Trish said holding onto the dashboard. “That would have been us, otherwise. Just don’t give her any ideas!”

    Ariel was just about to reply when she was thrown forward suddenly as Cara slammed on the brakes sliding sideways in an attempt to miss the motorcycle that was lying behind the pickup truck of the bastard who had taken Abby. Another flash of light flared before the trees in front of the truck carrying Abby burst into flames throwing several huge trees across the road and blocking any further passage.
     
    “Holy shit! Did you see that?” Cara asked trying to look up as two dark shadows moved across the road about the height of the trees.

    “Oh, my God. Abby!” Trish cried out as she watched Abby being pulled out of the truck in front of them. Cara pumped the brakes trying to bring the truck to a stop. Trish struggled to open the door to the truck just as it rolled to a stop behind the pickup in front of them, almost falling down as her feet connected with the uneven surface.
     
    “Where’s Carmen?” Ariel called out frantically as she struggled to get out of the truck.

    Cara’s feet had just touched the ground when she saw three huge creatures, one spewing dark blue flames out of its mouth, at the screaming figure of a man. She vaguely heard Trish and Ariel’s cry of alarm as she pulled the tire iron out from under the seat of the truck. She sure as hell wasn’t going into this empty handed!
     
    Trelon kept Zoran in his sight as Zoran followed his symbiosis’ call for help. All three dragons flew as fast as they could in an effort to get to Zoran’s injured mate. Trelon watched as Zoran dropped down out of the sky, shifting at the last possible moment and landing in the back of the pickup truck holding Abby. Swerving up and over some trees, Trelon carefully folded his wings in so they would not catch on any branches and spewed dragon fire in front of the truck causing several large trees to fall blocking the road. He had just circled around and was coming in for a landing when he saw the man who had been holding Abby raise a weapon and fire point blank into Zoran’s chest. Rage filled him as he watched his brother collapse and he let out a roar.
