Chapter 1
Katya fled through the streets of Upper Lavorgna, her heart pounding wildly.
Faster, she told herself. Faster.
Shadows and fog swirled around her, and one of the three moons glared down from above. She was more terrified than she could ever remember being.
He was after her.
She’d lost sight of him some time back, but she knew he was there, somewhere. Hunting.
Lightning blasted overhead, startling her, and a deluge began to pound down. Great, just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse.
She had no place to go, not even a damned umbrella. Rain plastered her hair against her scalp, but she pulled her black leather jacket tighter about her, feeling her jagged rings against her fingers, and pushed on, choosing alleys and main roads, never any one for very long. Sedic had an auto.
“Got you, bitch.”
A hand reached from the shadows and grabbed Katya’s shoulder, spinning her around. A narrow, tattooed face peered out at her from the darkness, eyes bloodshot and lips hard, blue and fish-thin; he was infected, then. A victim of the Atomic Sea.
“Thought you could filch and flee, eh?” he said. “Sedic’ll pay good money to see you get yours, girl. Where’s the loot?”
