Alex Foster chapter 7

I was flying with swoop board when I heard security guards running and shooting.I tried to think fast. We had to get in maintenance tunnels, but I didnt have the key and lock picking would take too long. Somehow I need to get rid of guards but they were only "monkeys", low level workers doing their job, they didnt deserve death.

Then I remembered how I had worried that security guards would shoot the gas tank and got an idea. "Hop off!", I shouted to A'rya. "Let's make a fuss!" I threw the swoop board towards guards, and while the board was still mid air, far from guards, I shooted the gas tank. Immediately the hydrogen in tank reacted with oxygen and there was huge explosion. I whistled, no wonder that swoop boards weren't sold to kids. They would fly too fast, crash into wall and explode.

 After the explosion had faded, I could see that the whole tunnel was on fire and heard security guards cursing, but no one sounded to get hurt. We run to the door, I picked the lock (Luckily Frank had teached how to do it) and we get out in less than two minutes.

When we had finally walked to our apartment, we started to disscuss where we would go. Echelon wanted to go to Atlantis where our mother lived, but I couldnt just give up the fight and get away. Eventually we decided to go to Combat Zones. It was far away from downtown, there was really few polices and Janus said he had got friends from there when he had lived there.

I could see he was hiding something.Why he had been in Combat Zones? I remembered it two years ago he had suddenly get away and came back three months later in terrible shape. After that he got clean and joined Liberty Army, but something had changed in him and Nika. It seemed like there was tension between them, and I wanted to know why.
