pounding their way through his protective plates. He
started to collapse, his palm gun firing convulsively,
the bullets spanging wildly around the cabin.

Robert N. Charrette

The gunfire stopped as soon as the man hit the deck.
With Fishface screaming orders that no one move, Ja-
son rushed down the aisle to his victim. He ran a quick
hand over the dead gunman. He found a wallet and,
after only a brief glance, tossed it on the man's chest.
He spat on the corpse and stood. "Azzie corpcop."

Sam relaxed a bit. The attack wasn't the closing of
a trap. The gunman might have been an air marshal,
or he might have been an off-duty officer on his way
somewhere. The man had just been trying to do his
job and keep some shadowrunners from killing a cor-
porate. Likely, he had seen the confrontation between
Sam and Jason as his chance. He had bet on his own
skills and lost.

"Heat's on now, Twist," Jason said. "Pedro's dead
weight we can't afford."

Before Sam could respond to the samurai's latest
challenge to his authority, he felt a hand grip the
fringes of his jacket.

"Seftors, you cannot leave me now." Sanchez's fear
seemed to have redoubled.

"The hell we can't," Jason snarled as he shoved
past.

Sanchez winced. His glance darted nervously to the
door Otter had opened, then flickered around the
cabin. Finally, his panicked stare alighted on Sam.
"You have condemned me."

"They saw that you were not involved," Sam as-
sured him. "Your corporate masters understand this
sort of thing. They will know that it was all a mis-
take."
