- All around her was dark space, lit only by distant stars, and the occasional uninhabitable planet. She watched the black Planet #666 pass through her field of vision, then more space. Finally the shuttle turned so that she could see the space station's shuttle bay, just behind.
- There, in the doorway, was a sight that made her heart nearly stop. Jason X clung to the doorframe, somehow withstanding the vortex that should have flattened him and sent him streaming out into the darkness. She was so close to that doorway. Even as he fought to stay inside, he looked as if he was about to leap through space to land on the shuttle. No, that could not be, no one could do that, she hoped. He couldn't reach the shuttle, could he?
- No, don't do it, she thought. Don't come after me.
- As if reading her thoughts, Jason X stopped moving. He looked at the shuttle, and she had the sense that he was staring into her eyes. That's crazy, totally insane. But he paused too long, and it gave her time to think.
- London hit the reverse thrusters and the shuttle began backing away from he station at an angle, and now she could see deck one had fully detached. The shuttle still moved at half speed, but the change in direction made a difference. Soon the gap was too wide and she knew that unless the could fly- and she'd seen no sign of that- Jason X could not make the leap. He would be stranded on the station forever.
- But as she watched him, standing in the doorway as the space door began to close, his body sent out vibrations of frustration. Murderous frustration. London knew he hadn't given up. Next time, he would not hesitate. And there would definitely be a next time.
- For the rest of her life she would never be safe from Jason X.
