- One moment, her world was a fog of pain, consciousness hanging by a thin
- thread, and the next Anna was falling into the mouth of hell, gasping as
- black smoke filled her lungs, the heat of an inferno beating at her. She
- landed badly on the slant of the hull, a glass-and-steel slope that ranged
- away down to the main deck.
- [...]
- Above, gunfire rattled, and through the smoke she saw another figure vault
- over the edge and come down toward her. Fear lanced through
- Anna; someone was coming down to finish the job. But then she saw
- Saxon's blood-streaked face.
- He punched his machine-fist into the hull and found a moment's purchase.
- Anna grabbed for his outstretched arm and heard him cry out in
- agony as she pulled on the broken limb. Her shoes scraping over the hull,
- she shoved herself up, feeling plumes of heat from the fires searing
- her back.
- A shape hazed into view through the smoke. Barrett leaned over the edge of
- the sky deck and sneered, pointing his gun-arm toward the two of
- them. The tri-barrel cannon spun up to firing speed and spat a line of stark,
- yellow-white tracer, shredding the paneling.
- "Hold on!" shouted Saxon, as the glass window beneath them shattered
- under the salvo, opening up into a void of hot vapors. The two of them
- tumbled into the interior of the burning yacht, vanishing from sight.
