goes under a bridge tuns checking looking like a Big ass tractor trailer hauling ass
holds onto the handle above her seat and grips the edge of the seat, bracing herself as the truck speeds up Holy shit! This is crazy!

"wait, who is that following us?"

hits the gas and the 18 wheeler hauls ass toward the border where their own men are blocking the road
grabs onto the seat and holds on tight, shouting Hold on! We're gonna crash into them!
The next thing you know is that we have crashed into the trucks of the cartels. Now those mother fuckers are after us.
gazes at ForestRhapsody'ss with pleading eyes Please, there has to be another way! We can't fight them!

whispering urgently We need to hide. They'll come looking for us. Is there anywhere we can go?
the Mexican Army shows up.
clutches her chest, panting heavily Thank god! The Mexican Army is here! They'll protect us!
the soldiers tell us to get in the helicopter.
climbs into the helicopter, relief washing over her face Thank you, thank you so much for saving us!
“ where will they take us?”
looks out the window as the helicopter lifts off They're taking us to a safe location, a hidden base where we can rest and regroup.
landing in secret military compound
looks around the compound, noticing the defenses and weapons So this is where they keep their secrets. It's impressive.
