ping past the ground crew. So far, only the passengers
in the main cabin knew of their presence. Dodger's
black box had frozen communications with the pilot's
compartment as soon as Sam had affixed it to the wall.
They should have been gone already, slipping away
into the night, but their man hadn't responded to the
code phrase when they had announced their presence
to the passengers. Time was trickling away.

CHOOSE YOUR ENEMIES CAREFULLY

The Indian was pushing, testing Sam as he had ever
since the split with Ghost. Jason liked to claim he was
as good as Ghost, but Sam had never seen even a re-
mote resemblance. Ghost Who Walks Inside was a real
warrior, cast in the mold of his people's ancient he-
roes. Ghost was worthy of being called a samurai,
unlike this cybered punk. Ghost only killed when nec-
essary, but that was just one of the differences between
the two Indians. Jason had never really understood
Ghost's principles; he had only been blinded by the
glittering street reputation of a man who stood up for
his people. Sam couldn't deny that Ghost had em-
braced violence, but only as a means, never as the end
that Jason seemed to believe it was.

It meant nothing to Jason that he was using a man's
life in his dominance games. But it did mean some-
thing to Sam. There was more at stake than Sanchez's
life. If Sam backed down now, he would have no more
control over Jason. Too aware of the Indian's enhanced
reflexes and deadly aim, Sam straightened. Height was
one advantage he had over Jason. He tried to put utter
assurance into his voice.

"I said no killing. We take him with us."
Jason simply stared. Sam knew that the Indian relied
on the unnerving effect of his chromed eyeshields. De-
termined to be unimpressed, Sam stared back, but a
motion in the back of the craft caught his attention.
