The deafening engine roar cuts to a stunned silence. Charles's gaze snaps to the bank of monitors, his face draining of color. He shoves the microphone away mid-sentence and bolts, sprinting flat-out down the pit lane. The air is thick with acrid smoke and the shouts of the emergency crews. His partner's car is a crumpled shell against the barriers. Shoving past a cluster of mechanics, his heart hammers against his ribs, his eyes desperately searching the chaotic scene for any glimpse of you.
