Excerpt
John’s musing about his father and the old Chevy was suddenly cut short as he approached his own driveway. What he saw astonished and quickly angered him. A plain white van was sitting in his driveway with its rear doors open wide. The amazing part to him was that two men were dragging his wife and daughter into the van!
As the doors slammed shut on the van, it pulled into the street right in front of him going the way he had just come. The driver stared him down as he drove away, John looking at him square in the face. There was something odd about that face, but John didn’t have time to think about that. They were taking Sarah and Mollie!
Slamming on the brakes, he quickly turned the car around and gave pursuit. The van had already turned the corner two blocks away and was heading for the freeway. John pushed the old Chevy for all it was worth, taking the corner on two wheels and forcing the engine into the redline on the tachometer as he jammed the gears.

“That was odd.” he thought as he redialed. Nothing. Over and over, he tapped in 9-1-1, only to get a busy signal or no service message. That made no sense. He had used his phone on numerous occasions while driving on this road and never had a connection problem.
The van was still pulling away from him. If they got to the interstate he would lose them completely. Throwing all caution to the wind, he fell into fighter pilot mode and focused on trying his best to catch up. He turned on his lights as the last of the twilight was turning into night. John was feeling the desperation of a man losing the fight for his life when he was momentarily distracted by a bright flash of light coming through the driver’s window, and…
