Chapter 6

Lorelei had watched the chase from the satellite feed. “So does that mean we have another dead guy?”

“I’m not so sure.” Tasha tapped the screen. “Look. We’ve got one person out and running.”

“And a second one running,” Sophia added, “but that one is based on our tracking, so that must be Gage.”

“And one’s still in the other vehicle,” Lorelei noted.

“Probably Wade because he’s not quite healed enough to be in a foot chase like that.”

“Better not let him hear you say that,” Terk suggested, coming from behind them.

“Oh, I know,” Sophia murmured, “all that fragile male ego.” He just looked at her with a flat expression, as she smiled sweetly back up at him. “Not yours of course.”

Terk didn’t comment but continued to stare at the screen. “Not sure what’s going on right now,” he murmured.

Just then Wade phoned Terk. “So the vehicle that was following us earlier has had a major accident,” he explained. “Once the cops joined in on the chase, our tail made a run for it, and now looks like someone has taken off on foot.”

Lorelei watched in concern, as the figure they believed to be Gage came closer and closer to the one running away. “Wow, he’ll really capture him, won’t he?”

“Well, I don’t know if we should hope for that or not,” Terk replied. “Gage is still not nearly healed either.”

“Yeah, but he’s a little touchy on that topic.” She snorted. “As far as he’s concerned, he’s as good as new.”

“He always is,” Terk admitted quietly. “In fact, he’s much better than that. But he can’t use as much of his energy as he should. He can’t use anything but brute force right now, and he’s expending a ton of his own energy.”

“Meaning he’ll crash and burn when he gets home,” Lorelei suggested.

Terk looked over at her and nodded slowly. “That’s a good way to look at it, … and he’ll have to because he’ll need to recharge.” Terk continued to watch the screen closely, as it looked like Gage had nearly caught up to the fleeing driver.

“Now what’ll he do?” It was like watching a movie, and yet Lorelei could see that the tension she felt was universal, as they all waited for the climactic moment. “Good God,” she said, “surely he won’t try to bring him down himself.”

Just then they watched the driver jerk several times.

Lorelei gasped. “Oh my God, he didn’t shoot him, did he?”

“Nope, he wasn’t even looking at him.”

At that moment Gage was looking around, trying to find the shooter. Then Gage bent down, placed a finger on the guy’s neck, and suddenly turned, as other people raced toward him. With his hands up, he slowly pointed to show that he had no weapon. The others raced forward and checked out the man on the ground.

“Now he’ll be trying to fast-talk himself out of this,” Terk noted quietly.

“Shit. I gather that’s the cops then?” Lorelei asked.

“Yeah, not only is it the cops but these assholes took out their own guy on us again.
