Chapter 333
In the next two minutes, my friend demonstrated an elegant agility. Over, under, at one point limboing nearly horizontal, she was a lithe wonder.
Drio could have been a very lucky man.
When she reached the fuse box on the far side, Ms. Clara and I cheered. Leo wrenched on the switch.
It didn't move.
She threw her shoulder into it, grunting with exertion. The lasers flickered and died.
The three of us froze, straining to hear any far-off alarm, but all was silent down in the uninhabited depths.
Ms. Clara and I joined her, and stripped down to our own catsuits and caps. On our backs we each wore an empty nylon backpack. I handed Leo her pack.
"Are you certain about this, doll?" Ms. Clara asked me, planting some grenades around the room.
"Nope." I pulled an invisibility shield around the three of us. I'd only ever successfully done it once and that was while I was totally motionless, but now I was Super Nava, boosted by Lilith's powers.
