Someone was rising from his seat. The passenger's
right hand was cocked back and a shiny barrel pro-
truded from the base of his palm.

Whether Jason used his own peripheral vision or saw
the reflection in Sam's eyes, he was moving before
Sam could say anything. The man in the back was
moving at chipped speed, but Jason was faster. The
Indian shifted sideways, vacating the space in which
he had stood. Sam felt the heat of the bullet's passage
and heard the slug bury itself in the cabin wall.

The gunman started to drop lower, trying to use a ;i
seat and the passenger in it for cover. Jason swung
Sanchez around with one arm and shoved his other
arm in the direction of the gunman. His movement
looked deceptively awkward, almost haphazard. Sam
knew that it was anything but. The Sandier TMP had
a smartgun adapter, feeding targeting information
through the induction pad in Jason's palm to establish
a feedback circuit. When the crosshairs appeared on
Jason's cybereyes, he could be sure that his weapon
rwas effectively aimed at his target.

Jason fired as he dropped into the seat that had been
fSanchez's. The Indian's Sandier shrilled as it spat slugs
to rip into the gunman's cover. Blood and polyfoam
i stuffing erupted into the air. Jason's line of fire skipped
up past the head rest and clipped the gunman in the
shoulder as he ducked.

Fishface's gun chattered behind Sam. Women's wails
and screams of pain joined the noise of the guns. The
sea of corporate faces that had been staring at the run-
ners vanished beneath the waves of the head rests. The
passengers were huddled, praying, hoping, and plead-
ing that no fire be directed at them.

Slow to react, Sam found himself the only one still
standing. He reached for his holster. As his hand
fclosed on the butt of his Narcoject Lethe, he knew he
i wouldn't be fast enough. The gunman was rising for
lanother shot.

Again, Jason proved faster. The Sandier screamed
it pounded slugs into the man. Sam watched as th%
[slugs chewed away cloth and flesh to reveal the im\a171!

Shim out into the aisle. More bullets gnawed at him,
