- Jensen nodded, as if he was going to comply, but in his mind the exact
- reverse was his intention. He peered at the roof beneath his feet, using the
- micro-miniature t-wave lenses in his smart-vision optics to see through the
- thin metal to the gantries and floors below. “Pritchard,” he muttered, his
- words drowned out by the engine noise. “I got a situation here.”
- “I know. I was the one who told you, remember?” The hacker’s nasal
- sneer made his jaw itch. “I’m going to distract them. There’s a sewer tunnel
- under the southwest corner of the building. How you get from where you
- are to there, I can’t help you with.”
- “Last chance!” shouted the woman. The red thread of the targeting lasers
- lifted to dance across his eye shields.
- In the next second, an ear-splitting shriek of feedback crashed over the
- infolink and Jensen cried out in pain. It was as if someone had jammed a
- spike into his skull, and he staggered with the force of it – but so did the
- woman and her companions, and the effect must have been felt by the
- VTOL pilot as well, as the spotlight suddenly blurred away as the aircraft
- rolled to the left before abruptly course-correcting itself.
- Jensen gritted his teeth and unloaded a full clip of bullets from the
- Hurricane into the roof, cutting an arc through the corrugated metal.
- Already weakened, it gave way like a trap door and he fell into a haze of
- hot, choking smoke.
- Gunshots followed him into the raging fire, but Jensen was already gone,
- vanishing into the flames.
