Here’s a snippet from the current work in progress. I hope you enjoy!

Bad Karma triggered the call answer function as she leaned to the left and cut around the pickup running slow in the left lane. The driver stared at her as she blew by him on the left hand shoulder. She gave him a grin and added more acceleration.
“Hey, Burn,” She triggered whisper mode on the call so the comm implant would take her sub vocal range speech and transmit it.
“What, exactly, happened?”
“The FBI showed up. Tried to kidnap Scott. Said they were arresting him,” Bad Karma replied.
“How do you know?”
“FBI is a northie agency.”
“Ok, that does make sense. How many of them did you shoot?”
“None.”
“Stab?”
“None.”
“Grenade?”
“None. Punched and kicked them. Got Scott out. Now we need to hide.”
“Did you call the cops?”
“Had Scott do that.”
“Why?”
“You’d call when you found out.”
“Are you grinning?”
“Yeah.”
“Get through this alive. And you better have one hell of a story.”
“I will. They aren’t shooting.”
“I wonder why.”
“In the wrong country. Out gunned. Not as good as me.”
“How would they know who you are?”
“I kicked four of their asses.”
“Fair,” Burn said.
“Gotta go. State trooper next to us.”
