Integrity will be here in 41 seconds. If they catch you, you’re dead. That makes me your Lone Ranger.

So buckle up. And smile.

By the time she finished reading, her rescuer had run around to the driver’s seat. He closed the door and started the ignition.

“Who are you?” Mia asked.

Smirking, he tapped the tablet in her hands. The screen advanced to a third message.

Think it through. It’ll come to you.

She looked again at the SS tattoo on his hand. On closer inspection, they weren’t letters, they were numbers. Her future self had long ago warned her about the owner of such a brand.

If you see a small and creepy guy with a 55 on his hand, run. That’s Evan Rander. He’s bad news.

“No . . .”

Mia reached for the exit just as the door locks clicked and the cab lifted off the ground.

“Relax,” Evan told her. “I’m not gonna hurt you. Sorry about the Coppers, by the way. I should have warned you when I called you. They’re a little nutty.”

“What?”

“I said the Coppers are—” He waved her off. “I’ll tell you later.”

As the taxi rose, Mia caught a flash of light through the windshield. A fleet of Integrity dropships had de-shifted in the sky and were descending fast on the Poseidon.

Evan clucked his tongue at the squadron. “Right on cue. Boy, did I show up in the nick of time.”

“Get us out of here.”

He teasingly cupped his ear. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear that.”

“Go!”

“Yes, ma’am!” Evan’s face lit up in a devilish grin. “Hi-yo Silver.”

They rose to the taxi level of the skyway, then shot off like a missile. By the time the Integrity shuttles landed, Evan’s cab had blended into the traffic, just another streak of light on the Via Fortuna.
