Lana looked over at her lover. The bright orange light from the blazing sunrise passed through the car, emphasizing the manliness and handsome face of Oleg, flushed with anger and bold courage, and his red hair seemed a flame.
«The God of War, Mars himself, is beside me!» Lana thought in awe.
Chasing the offender, Oleg was smiling, recalling many similar situations in Russia. The calm and peaceful life in this small town was pretty boring for him, and only his plans for Lana held him here. He missed the active life in Moscow, and this episode was a kind of relief for this energetic man.
«Left!» screamed Lana, and Oleg cursed, as the Blue Truck swerved into a side alley and an oncoming green sedan did not allow him to follow the stalked vehicle.
However, Oleg was already familiar with the environs. He continued the pursuit taking the next street, and saw the Blue Truck leaving the town. It moved down a high, steep slope and Oleg glanced at Lana. «Hold on, my love!»
He aimed his vehicle at the truck, and the Jeep stormed downhill, hurtling through the air when it hit rough patches of ground. Oleg guffawed, «Short cut!»
Squealing with fear and excitement, Lana clung to the door handle and dash. She felt part of an avalanche, and, panicking, she thought, «He’s crazy! He’s simply crazy!» Drunk with emotion, she wished this pursuit would never end.
They neared the truck and flew along the road.
Many times the hunted driver tried to shake off his pursuer. He dropped his speed, accelerated, changed direction, but, deftly moving the Jeep, Oleg did not allow him to get away. Clenching his teeth, concentrating hard, he played this deadly dangerous game forgetting about everything, even about the wide-eyed Lana, stiffened next to him.
It was not an easy task, as Oleg had to pay attention to other cars on the road, and a few times he barely avoided a crash.
The driver of the Blue Truck was not careful. A few times he hit other vehicles, and Oleg was simply surprised at the sturdiness of this truck, capable of such speed after those collisions.
Oleg became angry, as he had not expected the chase to last so long. He bashed the Blue Truck to push it off the road, but the vehicle whirled and moved away.
Getting close, Oleg sent his Jeep straight into the running board of the truck, and this impact caused both cars to spin around. An eighteen-wheeler roared past, too close to the Jeep, and the frightened Oleg felt sweat break out over his body.
The Blue Truck lost the road, knocked down an enclosure, then managed back to the highway, trying to get away.
