“Fuck you, Tin Man.” | |
I don’t even bring up a weapon. | |
I grab him by the throat and raise | |
him high and I squeeze. At first I | |
think he’s making those sounds, | |
those hacking choking coughs, but | |
no: It’s Hargreave, invisible and | |
omnipresent as always. Hargreave, | |
laughing. | |
I throw Lockhart through the | |
window. He arcs down past two | |
stories, clears the razor wire, hits | |
the gravel road facedown not ten | |
meters from the inner compound. | |

Note: In game that glass is nanoglass | |
which is bullet proof and can hold back massive amounts of water. | |
I’m almost wishing that these guys | |
were better shots because half the | |
rounds that don’t hit me are | |
smacking into the windows. | |
Spiderwebs are cracking through | |
the glass everywhere I look. I can’t | |
believe the windows haven’t shattered yet. | |
Fortunately, fragging CELL asses | |
and covering my own is a full-time | |
job. My inner eight-year-old can take a number. | |
And believe it or not, when the dust finally settles | |
and I am the Last Corpse Standing, | |
that whole round wall of windows | |
is still keeping the water at bay. | |
Half a dozen panes are almost | |
opaque, they’re so shot through | |
with cracks; there are more trickles | |
and rivulets and needles of spray | |
than I can count. But there’s a | |
whole orphaned chunk of the | |
Atlantic leaning against those | |
windows, and goddamn it, they’re holding. | |
Lockhart’s gone offline. | |
Or maybe he’s just sulking because I | |
wiped the floor with his toy soldiers. | |
Hargreave keeps the flame | |
alive, though, riding my ass to | |
reboot the upper-level elevators | |
from the main desk. I still can’t | |
take my eyes off the windows, off | |
all that dark heavy water piled up | |
on the other side, but Hargreave | |
nags reassuringly in my ear: No | |
need for concern, super-nanoglass, | |
guaranteed floodproof | |
