Chimone smiled. He hated giving her the plum assignment, but he had no choice. Wimout their rigs, they would be vulnerable. He needed eyes on the inside. Chimone flew off, but the rest of the squad just looked at him. You heard your orders. Now move/

'You KNOW WHERE this Breath of Fresh Air is located?' asked Valtin as they walked through the city. Even he could feel the change in the air now. The entire dome seemed deserted. It seemed everyone had heard about the vampire attack earlier.

'Yeah/ said Kal. 'It's not far.'

'Not far by real reckoning or by Jerico reckoning?' asked Valtin, remembering how long it taken them to get to the armourer.

'It's right around the corner, okay?' asked Kal. Yeesh, everyone's a critic. Okay, so I'm no pathfinder, but I have other skills and attributes/ He squirmed and tried to scratch in between his shoulder blades. 'Damn this spear/ he cried. The gems keep poking me in the back/

They turned the comer and were met by an explosion that almost sent both of them to the ground. 'I thought you said gang violence was rare in Hive City/ cried Valtin.

'Rare enough to make me think that my brother is probably involved. Come on!'

Kal sprinted into the square with Wotan padding along beside him. Valtin followed but stopped to stare at the scene, completely unprepared for the chaos of a gang battle.

In the square, Yolanda was rolling on the ground as shrapnel rained around her. A large Escher woman with spiky blue hair and a long red ponytail stood over her with a chainsword. In the background, the rest of the Escher gang was running and screaming, and then the newcomers saw the reason. Their quarry, Armand.

JUST AS SCABBS was about to dive onto the weapon pile, he thought he saw Kal running into the courtyard. He dismissed it as wishful thinking and worked at grabbing the hilt of the knife with his teeth so he could hold the blade steady while cutting through the bonds at his wrists.

He glanced at Yolanda. She'd survived the explosion, but now Vicksen stood above her, slashing down with the buzzing chainsword. Yolanda rolled to the side but couldn't get away from the crazed Wildcat leader. All hell was breaking loose around them, but Vicksen still seemed intent on winning the duel. Scabbs gave up on the ropes and grabbed the shotgun. He hoped Vicksen had left a cartridge chambered because he couldn't cock it with his hands tied.

Scabbs fumbled with the weapon, trying to get a firm grip, aim and pull the trigger while bound. Luckily, his scabby arms moved a little within the bonds. Yolanda rolled back and forth beneath Vicksen as the gang leader slammed her sword down over and over again. As she raised the buzzing blade above her head for the next blow, Scabbs fired.

The shot hit the chainsword, knocking it out of her hands. It clattered on the ground and began spinning with the chain still buzzing.
