Chapter 6 - The Dismissive Shadow

Damon took two slow steps toward the curb, adjusting his expensive watch without showing even a hint of concern or remorse for the near-fatal incident that had just occurred on the quiet residential street.
"What is this, a soap opera?" Damon said, curling his upper lip in total disdain.
Without waiting for a response, he turned back around, climbed into his luxury sports car, slammed the heavy door shut, and revved the powerful engine. The red Lotus tore down the street, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust and the faint scent of burnt rubber. Emma lifted her head slowly, her arms remaining locked around her children. The tears in her warm brown eyes dried instantly, replaced by a cold, hardened expression of pure fury as she watched the luxury car vanish around the corner.
