Chapter 46

Citizen Hill

"Clear," Citizen yelled back at her friends.

Their footsteps came down the hall.

Dak and Nev burst through the smoke onto the scene, ready to help. But no one was left for them to defend against.

Bless came walking in with his sword drawn. "You good?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go." Citizen led the group back down the hall and to the door that would take them into the main server room with the pipes.

Two of their team had been shot in the firefight.

Nev looked like she had been grazed on the arm. They definitely were not expecting this much resistance in this one tower.

They stacked up on either side of the door.

Nev stood by the control panel. "Everyone ready?"

Citizen nodded back to her.

Nev hit the button, and the door slid open.

Dak and Tremmel were the first two through, leading with their pulse rifles. Citizen and Bless fell in right behind them.

The space was empty. It was a long room as big as a hangar. No one could be seen.
