."What do you mean, stolen?" Galway growled."How could it have beenstolen?""I don't know, sir." The transport's copilot shook his head."But the hospital says they didn't sendit out, and it isn't answering its radio.Wait a moment there's more coming through.They've foundthe pilot unconscious on the hospital landing pad, General."Beside Galway, Quinn swore bitterly."Damn that stupid medic.Is the ambulance still withinrange of the Green Mountain lasers, lieutenant?""No, sir, it's well outside the Athena perimeter now, heading east across Denver.""What did you mean about the medic?" Galway frowned."Isn't it obvious?" Quinn snorted."He must have gotten a telemetry reading from the hospital andfound out what antidote to give Mordecai.And then given it.""Galway?" Pittman called from across the cockpit aisle."What's going on?"The prefect turned to look at him."It looks like Mordecai's managed to make a break for it," hetold the youth."He's stolen his ambulance and is heading to somewhere in Denver."Pittman's eyes widened, and for a moment his lips moved wordlessly."Oh, no," he breathed atlast."Oh, hell.Galway General Quinn you've got to protect me.You've got to.I've earned thatmuch, damn it ""Protect you from what?" Quinn cut in."Mordecai's to ground and gone by now he sure as hellisn't coming back here.""Maybe," Pittman said, eyes darting around as the transport set down on the rooftop pad."Butmaybe not.He may just have gone for reinforcements.""What reinforcements?" Quinn scoffed.But his eyes had narrowed."Some remnant of Torch? Orsomeone else?"Pittman shook his head."I don't know who.but Lathe was pretty damn pleased they'd comeover to our side.Those are his own words."Quinn glanced at Galway, cocked an eyebrow."You know these delwort toads, Galway," he said."What sort of group would they be likely to link up with?""Hey, can we deal with the important things first?" Pittman put in before Galway could speak."Like my safety? I want to be someplace where Mordecai can't get to me if he comes back in.I meanit, Galway and you people owe me."Quinn sniffed in obvious contempt."Your blackcollar training doesn't seem to have supplied youwith much in the way of a backbone, does it?""Maybe I've seen Mordecai in action more often than you have," Pittman shot back."Is thereanywhere in the cell-block that would be safe?""We could lock you into solitary," Quinn suggested, shifting his gaze outside.The transport's sidedoor was disgorging prisoners and guards now, and the general watched closely as the linedisappeared through the armored door into the building.Galway held his breath, but no one made anytrouble.aaTTnnssFFffooDDrrPPmmYYeeYYrrBB22.BBAAClick here to buyClick here to buywwmmwwoowwcc.AAYYBBYYBB r r"No no cell." Pittman shook his head."At least not a locked one.I want to be able to get out ifthere's any trouble.""Well, then, just what the hell do you ""What about the emergency bunker, General?" Galway cut in."It's three levels underground,Pittman, with only one entrance, and it's designed to withstand a concerted enemy attack.""Wait a minute, Galway," Quinn growled, unfastening his restraints and stepping to the cockpitdoor."That bunker isn't a hotel, you know.""How far away from the others is this bunker, Galway?" Pittman asked."Shut up, Postern," Quinn snapped."I've got orders to work with you, but I don't have to likeyou and to be honest, traitors like you make me want to vomit.So I'll tell you this just once: yougive me even half a reason to do so and I'll let Lathe weld your mouth shut.You can't stay in thebunker, but there's a lounge off the situation room you can cower in if you want."Pittman bristled."I don't especially care for you, either, Quinn, if it comes to that.But there's a lotmore I can tell you about Lathe and his men stuff I'm pretty sure you and the Ryqril would like toknow.I can't tell it to you if I'm dead.So if you want to explain to the damn cockroaches how you letMordecai get to me ""All right all right," Quinn said with an exasperated snort."Anything to get rid of you.Galway,take him down to the lounge and tuck him in.If you can spare a moment later, we'll be processing theprisoners." Without waiting for an answer he opened the cockpit door and jumped out."Understood," Galway muttered after him, jaw tightening at the sarcasm.Pittman's paranoiawasn't his fault, after all."Come on, Pittman, move it.""How hard is it to get off the detention level, anyway?" the youth asked as they stepped out ontothe roof."I'm not just being fussy, Galway I've seen these guys in action.""They'll be on the fifth level; you'll be two levels underground," the prefect growled, starting toget fed up with Pittman himself."There's a single elevator off the fifth level, which opens out onlyonto the fourth floor.The elevators off the fourth floor are then half the building away, and the entirelevel is guard barracks.Give Quinn a little credit for sense, okay? There really isn't any way they canget out without getting killed.""Okay," Pittman murmured, and with that finally subsided.They made the rest of the trip in silence, a quiet that, oddly enough, matched the building as awhole [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
