It was then that Relena realized Heero couldn't drive and shoot at the same time. She got up and tried to pull him out of his seat.
"Get down--!"
"You can't drive and shoot at the same time! I've got the wheel!"
"Thanks!" he jumped into the back and Relena got into the driver's seat. Heero stuck the entire front half of his body out the window and shot the gunman eight times. The gunman's body jolted like a rag doll and he fell onto the road, run over several times. Relena fought back nausea. The driver rode up next to them and shot at Relena, barely missing her. She screamed. Heero reached across her face, blinding her, and shot at the driver, missing three times.
"Just give me the girl, goddammit!" the driver screamed.
"Never! I swear to God you'll never get her!" He fired and hit the wheel. "Move, Relena. She slipped to her passenger side floor protection. Heero looked desperately at her, momentarily turning his back.
"Look under the seat and gimme the dynamite!" A bullet pierced Heero's back.
"Ah!"
"Heero!"
"Get the dynamite!" She shoved it in his hands. "Gimme the lighter!" She handed him a lighter on the floor. The driver caulked his rifle. Relena struggled a second, then lit the dynamite. Heero threw it. It landed in the car. Heero slammed the brakes as hard as he could with both feet. They both looked up to see a huge explosion and a fire. Heero and Relena sighed heavily. A pick up truck slammed them with the power of 300 horses from behind. Heero was thrown against the steering wheel. Relena screamed as three of his ribs snapped like twigs. Heero's face was absolute shock; his body was devastated.
"Ahh….." he screeched. Relena moved to help him; he pushed her down. "No, stay down." The truck slammed them again. Relena cried out, Heero just moaned and held his chest with his barely functional right arm. The truck pulled up beside them and fired mercilessly at them with a machine gun.
