WILDFIRE! Chapters 4 through 7 (Left Behind the Kids)
Mark watched the GC car speed up. It was newer, faster, and would overtake them quickly.
“Floor it!” Mark said.
“I am,” Conrad said, watching the speedometer slowly climb.
“They’re gaining on us!” Shelley yelled.
“Is there anything in the back we can throw out to slow them down?” Mark hollered.
Shelly and Janie climbed over the backseat. “There’s a spare tire and a tire iron,” Shelley yelled back.
“I found a bunch of nails and screws in a little box,” Janie shouted.
Mark turned to Conrad. “Go as fast as you can. We’ll slow them up a little.”
Conrad nodded and kept his eyes on the road as Mark climbed over the seats. He grabbed the tire iron, smashed the back window, and muttered, “Sorry, Bo.”

Vicki tried to get comfortable in the trunk. Darrion held the crowbar in place so they would continue to get air.
“Where do you think they’re going?” Darrion whispered.
“Probably back to Des Plaines where they’re holding the Shairtons and Charlie.”
A frantic voice came on the radio, calling the leader. Vicki’s heart sank as she heard a young officer say, “We’ve got those kids, Sir. They’re in that old car we spotted in the bushes. They’re about a quarter of a mile ahead of us.”
“How many?”
“Can’t tell, sir. They passed us going pretty fast. Probably at least four or five.”
“Where are they headed?”
“Toward Lake Geneva, sir.”
“Good,” the leader said. “The roads are torn up that way. You should be able to catch them.”
