40 - 21 - Door Rip

<Driver heard something,> Tobias reported. Well, duh. I'd left a big ole dent in the metal roofing. This was a surprise attack.

I crawled forward across the cargo bay and onto the roof of the truck's cabin. Peered over the side into the driver's seat. Saw a very nervous human-Controller.

I tore open his door. Reached for him.

Too slow! The driver slammed on the brakes. The truck stopped moving.

I didn't.
