“Where is he? There’s no body in the wreckage!” I called out with a stranger’s voice as I watched through the eyes of a guard who was combing through the aftermath of the explosion.

“He must have jumped out of the car before it hit the gas tank. Take a team and check the canyon. I’m sure he didn’t get too far in his shape. Remember, though, he’s already killed three of us, and he’s armed, and if you don’t do your job and find him, the rest of us will be as good as dead, starting with you.”

“Yes, sir!” the well-muscled redhead crisply saluted.

Crap! I need to wake up now! I thought as I realized that I was dreaming. I must have gotten knocked out from the blast.

The moment I left the guard’s body and let myself drift, my consciousness pulled itself back to the physical form it was tethered to. As my mind returned to my body I entered a diaphanous sleep state. It was like I was experiencing sleep paralysis. I was aware of what was happening, but my body wouldn’t respond.

I’d been in other bodies before and had always made it back to mine at the research center, but then I had had a team monitoring me, had specific targets, and had alarm clocks. Even during the interrogations they’d been committed to keeping me awake. Here, all I had to wake me was willpower and a broken, worn down body that demanded rest.

“He’s close by somewhere! This must have torn of his dungarees!” I heard someone shout and assumed that my pants had ripped. I ever so slowly started coming to.

Hurry and wake up! They’re practically on top of you! Get up, get up, get up!

The voices grew louder.

Get up now! I mentally commanded myself.

With a great effort of will, I fluttered my eyelids open. I winced as wakefulness dawned. It felt like my whole body was one giant bruise, and my ears were still ringing from the explosion. As quickly as my body would allow, I stood, gripped a split in the earth wall for support, and stumbled forward. I was determined to put as much distance between me and my pursuers as earthly possible. I pressed onward, making sure to stay flush against the side of the small canyon. I prayed I wouldn’t be spotted.
