Chapter 139

Going straight from work to the spaceport, Adam spared only a few minutes to change out his uniform-just as any normal human would do-before speeding to his destination.

Some folk were under the mistaken impression that abiding by the posted legal limits and performing proper stops and lane changes ensured a person flew under the radar. Untrue.

Those who adhered most stringently to the laws brought the most attention of all. Normal folk always skirted the edges of the rules. It was human nature.

Parking crookedly, his rear tire over the marked line, and shoving his card in to the short-term parking meter to buy himself an hour of overpriced space, Adam arrived-late.

Or, as he liked to call it, perfectly in keeping with his public identity.
