rolled.

"Christ! They've got sharpshooters on the roof across the street!"

There was a clunking sound as the little computer fell over on its side, its monitor screen and casing

"Archimedes!" she cried.

"Forget it, it's too late!" shouted Billy. "Broom! Where the hell are you?"

Kira crawled back across the floor toward Billy. "Can you teleport all of us?" she asked.

"Merlin could have," Billy said. "No reason why I shouldn't be able to."

"You mean you're not sure?"

He shook his head. "No, but we don't have any other choice. Wyrdrune needs help and we're caught
right in the middle of a hornet's nest. We've got to get out of here right now. Broom! Where the hell is
that bloody stick?"

"Probably hiding," Kira said. "I'll go look—"

"There's no time," said Billy. "We've got to go now."

"Wait! Shadow!"

"Forget the bloody cat! There's no damn time!"

"I'm not leaving without—"

around them. There was no one left inside

Deputy Police Commissioner Steve McGuire stood in the center of the penthouse living room, looking
around at all the damage. All around him, the lab boys were bustling about with their equipment, dusting
for prints, bagging evidence, and taking photographs. "What the hell happened here?" McGuire said,
turning back toward Ron Gavorachek, captain of the S.W.A.T. team.
