Huge, spinning, and out of control, the mothership crumbled downward, the glow from its hull fires illuminating the dome in brilliant orange. It crashed into the aetherial ice. The explosiveboom rattled Tayel to her core. Spiderweb cracks reached out like a thousand strikes of lightning through the shield. Dislodged ice rained down, clinking atop the roof as chunks hit. From the city walls, Varg magis fired white beams of aether, sporadically—frantically— rebuilding what they could of the shattering protection. The silhouette of a large oak loomed overhead— eerie, black, and monstrous. To the left, she saw the outline of a boat hull and could faintly make out its underwater portion. Her lungs started to squeeze tighter, desperately pushing the last bits of air through her body and crying out for more. She kicked hard three more times and rounded the front end of the boat and then with all her strength pulled with both arms toward the surface. Her head shot through the gently rippling water, and she gasped for ten seconds, gulping down as much air as possible. Allyson was at the tip of the boats stern on the port side and clear from view of any onlookers in either direction. I was on the sidewalk. Where hes kneeling on the ground right now will prove that. Got a picture of a submarine here? he challenged. ‘I’ll show you right where that shell went in.’ As an afterthought he added, ‘sir.’ Im sorry, Tommy said. Do you two know each other? Sean, who is your friend here?” Some space from Lockes room was necessary. Jace wouldn’t want to be embarrassed within hearing distance from the others, and truth be told, she didn’t want to be either. Her opinion on his involvement clearly wasn’t the popular one. A small part of her writhed in guilt, frustrated at herself for betraying everyone else’s consensus. But he couldn’t go. He wouldn’t survive it. Adriana shook her head, still smiling.Impatient one, arent you? The sour smell from Lockes glue gun transported Tayel back to the crowded shelves in Otto’s shop. Jace’s room, too, although that was helped along as much by Locke’s scattered tools as the smell. Strew around some trading cards, slap one or two flexi-screens on the walls, and Jace and Locke would have almost identical domains. Hello, Tommy said after pressing the green button. Adriana stole a glance at Koenig and then returned her eyes to Hummels.Friedrich, I appreciate your offer and your help, but when I find that painting, I cant let you have it even though your father purchased it. It has to be exchanged with the Belgian. You always do what youthink is right, he corrected. Im not sure you’reactually right in this case. He asked for privacy.” Tayel bit her lip. If closed blinds prevented raider attacks, there probably wouldnt be so many raids in her school’s history lessons. Blood swarmed in her ears just thinking about dangerous criminals slipping by the front yard, unnoticed. Shaved head,both women thought. This must be the Eraser the assassin was talking about. He grinned slyly at her. When he did, the wrinkles under his eyes stretched out, and his curly black and gray hairline raised a tad.So that we wouldnt have to search the world to find him. You sure they dont have some other kind of security measures here for that? Tommy asked, his voice full of doubt. He glanced at the clock over the wall-chart. It showed 0449.* * * Are there other camps— er,installations besides this one? Jace asked..
