“Good.”

They strolled casually over to Seidel and watched him put the final touches on some sensing equipment.

The Urban Map man looked up and gave Medoret a wintry smile, then climbed into the ground car. As he revved the motor, Samta pushed her back into the backseat and climbed into the front next to Seidel.

“Let’s go, George.”

“She coming along?” Seidel asked, looking askance at Medoret.

“Not if you don’t put your foot on the pedal.” Samta looked back at the headquarters building warily, watching for spies. Seidel promptly hit the gas and they surged forward, gathering speed. Medoret gasped and grabbed at the side of the car.

“George is a horrible driver,” Samta called back. “But he hasn’t wrecked a car for quite a while now, right, George?”

“I am improving,” George agreed equably, and whirled them around the corner out of the plaza. Medoret looked back at the plaza as they turned, watching for any pursuit. She tightened her fingers as Seidel swerved hard around another corner and accelerated loudly down the street. The buildings flashed past as they got to forty kicks before Seidel downshifted into another turn.

“The Plaza,” Samta shouted over the roar of the engine. Seidel spun the wheel, squealing the tires in a wide U-turn. They bumped over a section of curb, bounced twice on the roadway, and the engine roared again as Seidel hit the gas, heading north. At the next turn, they reached the main north-south axis, a broad avenue nearly a kilometer long. The ground car accelerated to hair-whipping speed and Medoret laughed out loud.

“Fun?” Samta looked over his shoulder and grinned at her.

“Fun! Go faster, George!”

“No!” Samta said in alarm. “You’re fast enough, George.” Seidel glanced back at Medoret and pushed down on the accelerator. Medoret thumped him on the shoulder delightedly.

“Yes! Go, go, go!”
