Teaser 1:
Everyone in the crisis room stood completely still. No one moved, no one spoke. Computers beeped alerts, but no one attempted to answer them. Pascual could feel all of their eyes upon him. His toes twitched. How fast could he run? Probably not fast enough.
That dreadful silence ended when the heavy blast door leading out into the lobby was blown off of its hinges and landed several feet into the conference room. Bernardo Durante dove under the conference table, but Pascual, Willy, and most of the Earth Fleet personnel just turned to stare at the smoking doorway in shock.
A platoon of EPS men in black combat gear poured through the doorway, weapons at their shoulders. Pascual could hear gunfire in the halls behind them. The troopers ran inside and made a ring around the two Councilors and Pascual, some of them leaping onto the conference table to do so. They kept their weapons trained outwards.
"Any of you fuckers so much as blinks and your heads are hamburger," one of the troopers growled. He turned his head just enough to let Pascual see the side of his face. "Are you all right, sirs?"
