Chapter 163

Epilogue

Adam had just enough time to grab at Laura before she went crashing into a console. "You crazy fucker!" he yelled at Aramus. "What the hell?"

"I need manual control of the ship so we can do this."

'This' involved them rolling and then diving, heading toward the military installation, a nuke hot on their tail.

A good thing his unit wasn't prone to panic else Adam might have worried at the speed with which they approached the solid structure. But he trusted in the skills of his cyborg brother.

Poor Laura, she closed her eyes and squeaked from her position on his lap. He hugged her close and whispered, "Don't worry. He's cyborg. He won't miss."

Indeed he didn't. At the last possible moment, Aramus reefed their vessel into a rising surge. The nuke didn't have time to adjust and follow. It hit the building, and the shockwave radiated out, catching the rocketing spacecraft and sending it spinning.
