Meanwhile…
BANG!
Everyone in Zoren's truck ducked as the first round of fire hit the side of their vehicle.
Hugo looked back, spotting a few vehicles in the distance. He clenched his teeth.
"Damn," he hissed, looking at the people in the front. His eyes immediately landed on Zoren and Atlas. Gulping, he exhaled. "Lower your head, and Mark, cover for me."
"Hugo—"
Hugo reached out to Atlas's shoulder, moving his face closer. "I'll follow!" he yelled in Atlas's ear, squeezing his first brother's shoulder before pulling back. He nodded at Atlas, patted his back, and shot Mark a look.
Mark was already climbing onto the back while Angel did his best to keep the truck's speed steady. Despite Angel's efforts, the road was rocky. Thanks to Mark's experience, he managed to reach the back.
"Hold here, sir," Mark instructed, keeping Zoren and Atlas in the corner while he stood in the middle with Hugo. When he faced Hugo, they exchanged nods.
