Alex did the math in his head one last time.

If he didn't act now, he'd lose his only shot at surviving. With a firm tug, he

deployed the backup parachute.

Overhead, his pursuer fumbled.

Clearly, the enemy hadn't expected a second chute.

Stuck in freefall with no way to close the distance, the attacker could only glare, fury scorching his gaze, as Alex floated safely to the ground.

If Alex had used the reserve chute too soon, the bastard might've swooped in for another strike.

Now, all the enemy could do was watch, fist's balled tight and rage contained only by the desperate need to stop the poison creeping from his right arm's wound.

Alex's feet hit the earth with a thud, knees nearly buckling in relief

The wet soil clung to his boots.

He bit down on a bitter healing pill, the burn of it fierce against his throat, and fired up his communicator.

"Move out!" he rasped, voice raw with adrenaline. "Head for the nearest Kingswell station. Don't bunch up! We can't handle that monster together-trust me."

But Alex took off in the other direction, every stride drawing the attacker away from his friends.

He ran until his lungs blazed and the horizon began to glow.

Dawn found him stumbling through dense forest, sweat cold on his skin.

He leaned against a tree, trying to catch his breath.

The air felt stifling, the scent of damp leaves clinging to him.

Then he heard the voice, low and menacing.

"Didn't think you could run this far," it said.
