Day Eight - Extract from Chapter Nine

"Tucker and the PRU officer watched from the back of the shuttle as he unfastened his belt. He threw it to Tucker. ‘Tie him up.’

Tucker obliged. ‘Great plan. Now they know where you’re headed, they’ll be waiting.’

Motion pulled his gun, levelling it at Tucker’s head.

Tucker and the PRU officer ducked forward.

Motion fired. Shards of the back screen pelted the smooth casamir track as the blast rumbled up and down the tubeway. ‘Which is why we won’t be on it.’

Tucker stared at the carnage disappearing at too hundred kilometres per hour. ‘You’re crazy!’

Motion smiled. ‘You’re only just getting that?’"
