<Episode 7>
Jack checked the area. It was pretty much deserted now, but if anybody heard the explosion it wouldn’t be for long. He doubted anybody would be dumb enough to believe they were filming a part for a movie. Jack grabbed the staff, got the bike back on it’s wheels and flipped the switches back to hide the lasers. He looked up to see that Rachel was still standing in the parking area. “We gotta go!”, he shouted to her.
“Right!”, she shouted back and got in her car. Jack rode back up to the parking area and grabbed his helmet as she pulled out of her spot. He glanced back to see a police officer come into view. She was looking right at them. He started wondering how good the World Inc. lawyers were as he raced out of the parking area. Jack slowed down enough for Rachel to pull aside him. He motioned for her to go right at the next intersection and that he was going left, she nodded. Probably not necessary but if that cop called it in one of them could get back to World Inc. if the other got caught. He had to remember to thank his Uncle for the tip.
Taking the long way around he returned to Word Inc. and pulled into the garage. Rachel was sitting on the trunk of her car waiting for him to show up. He pulled into the spot next to her and pulled off his helmet. Taking a moment to catch his breath he said, “I wonder how Allen is going to blame me for that one?”
“He doesn’t have a reason to, we were no where near it.”
“He’ll say I rubbed against a tree and waited for the wind to change or something.”
“Now that’s just plain stupid.”
“But would you put it past him?”
“After that last meeting, no,” she admitted. “We still have to report to Heather. Hopefully Mr. Anderson will be as generous this time around. Speaking of Anderson,” she got right up to him and pointed a finger in his face. “Do you mind explaining that that thing you said about Anderson and experimenting with Drakan lives?”
“I never said he would, I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised.”
“And why wouldn’t you be surprised?”
“Whose idea was it to hook me up to the Fusion system? A system you said nobody knew was going to work. So he has some history as far as I’m concerned.” She looked a little annoyed as she turned away. “I’m sure he’s a wonderful guy once you get to know him.”
“But you don’t want to get to now him, right?”
“Pretty much.”
