  1. Jensen steeled himself and kicked open the access door, ready to duck back inside
  2. if Magnet was lying in wait. But instead, he saw the gang leader running along
  3. an elevated catwalk toward the rear of the warehouse, where a sky bridge
  4. connected it to the rest of the manufacturing plant. His escape route.
  5.  
  6. If Magnet made it across and down into the back alleys of Milwaukee
  7. Junction, he was as good as gone. Ignoring the plumes of smoke rising up
  8. from the skylights, and the dangerous creaking of the fracturing roof,
  9. Jensen let the Hurricane drop on its sling and sprinted after Magnet, the
  10. synthetic muscles in his augmented legs reconfiguring into sprint mode for
  11. maximum speed across the short, straight-line distance.
  12.  
  13. He was on the gang leader in a heartbeat, kicking off a guide rail to
  14. propel him up and then back down. Magnet whirled, firing as he moved,
  15. and a hot gush of exhaust gas seared Jensen’s face as the blast narrowly
  16. missed taking his head off. He landed a powerful blow on Magnet’s
  17. shoulder where his aug arm connected to his torso, and the shock of impact
  18. knocked them both apart again.
  19.  
  20. Jensen recovered faster, reacting with reflex-boosted instinct, and
  21. slapped away Magnet’s weapon. The Widowmaker spun over the guide rail
  22. and skidded away across the sloped rooftop. The gang leader staggered
  23. back, triggering the heavy-punch piston again, cocking it to throw a strike
  24. at Jensen’s head – but his opponent’s arm bent back on itself in a move that
  25. no human limb could have made, snatching at the grip of the dangling
  26. machine pistol.
  27.  
  28. The Hurricane came up to aim at Magnet’s broad chest and Jensen blew
  29. out a breath. “End of the line,” he snarled. “I want to know who is running
  30. you.”
  31.
