**Jet Star's POV**
I could feel my own pulse, that’s how worked up I was. That broadcast…
I shivered. I didn’t want to think about what could happen in the time it would take us to get across two and a half Zones, even with Poison driving.
“You okay?”
I glanced up. Kobra was looking at me over his shoulder, his jaw set. He was just as nervous as I was.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” I replied quickly, and groaned inwardly. I looked up at Poison’s eyes in the rear view mirror. “Can we go any faster?”
“Do you wanna drive?” he shot back, meeting my gaze. His eyes were harsh, something odd for him. I shook my head and looked away, out the window at the desert flying by. I figured that we were already running the risk of blowing a tire at the speed we were going, so I didn’t push it.
“Do you see that?” Kobra murmured a while later, pointing ahead of the car. I leaned forward between the front seats, and I was sure I could see something in the headlights too. Flashing lights…
“You know what you were saying about going faster?” Poison asked quietly. I don’t know what he did but we suddenly sped up in such a short space of time that I was thrown back against the seat. I cursed under my breath and tied my bandana around my face as Kobra did the same and Poison pulled his mask up over his eyes.
I cracked my neck and stretched my fingers. It had only been a few days since our run-in with the surprise patrol and we hadn’t had much time to forgive and forget, so one thing we all agreed on was that Better Living Industries had a whole new world of pain aimed right at them.
