The Volkswagen went through the roundabout and continued along Sezai Bey Avenue as Zeki had predicted. The avenue was a two-way street, not much wider than the ones they had just gone through. Small shops, restaurants, and two- or three-story houses of all styles and colors lined the street. The traffic had died down, and two of the vehicles peeled off, one to the left and the other to the right. Only a dark blue BMW was following closely behind the Volkswagen.
“They’re tailgating.” Javin pointed at the BMW.
“I think he’s trying to pass,” Zeki said.
“The street’s too narrow. He’s gonna cause an accident,” Claudia said.
As if to confirm her words, the BMW’s driver crashed into the left side of the Volkswagen. The collision sent it against the metal door of the next house.
Claudia hit the brakes. “What just happened?”
Before anyone could answer, two men stepped out of the BMW’s rear doors. They were fully clad in black, wore black masks, and carried pistols equipped with sound suppressors. One of them hurried toward the Volkswagen, the second turned around. He glanced for a moment at the Canadian agents’ car, then pointed his pistol.
He aimed, then fired a quick barrage at the agent’s car.
This work would have not been possible without the great support of my wife and son. I would also like to thank CaryLory, Denise Gardner, Frank Paine, Kristen Lewendon, and Linda Cunningham for their helpful suggestions.
