APOLLO 23

Amy ran down a line of tables, cutting back into the next row. The s oldier matched her, running parallel along the other s ide of the tables, and cutting through so he was in the next aisle.

What if she stopped, and waited to see which way he went ? Would the soldier just s witch off, like the other one had done?

She tried it. They faced each other over the prone body of a young woman in army fatigues.

'You just going to stand there all day?' Amy asked.

As if in answer, the soldier leaned forward, both hands on the edge of the table. Then in a s ingle movement, he vault ed across the table and the body lying on it, landing right beside Amy.

She gave a shriek of surprise, instantly embarrassed by it, and ran.

The soldier was no longer between her and the door.

But he was right next to her. His hand grabbed Amy's hair, jerking her back as she moved.

'Get off!' she yelled.

But the s oldier held on, dragging Amy back towards him.

In desperat ion she kicked backwards at him, hoping to slam her foot into his shin. Instead it caught the low pedest al bes ide the bed. The imp act jarred right up through her leg, making her eyes wat er as much as the pain from having her hair pulled.

The pedestal rocked as she kicked it. The equipment slid across the top, and cras hed to the floor. Wires stretched and tangled. A connection broke loose. An alarm sounded - an insistent low buzzer.
