The
second
cab
was
spiralling
down
behind
me
.
An
unlit
alley
beckoned
,
less
than
a
dozen
metres
away
.
I
’
d
barely
stepped
into
it
when
the
first
of
the
locals
made
their
play
.
"
You
looking
for
something
,
tourist
?
"
There
were
three
of
them
,
the
lead
vocalist
a
two
-
and
-
a
-
half
-
metre
giant
naked
to
the
waist
with
what
looked
like
Nakamura
’
s
entire
muscle
graft
sales
for
the
year
wrapped
around
his
arms
and
trunk
.
There
were
red
illuminum
tattoos
under
the
skin
of
his
pectorals
so
his
chest
looked
like
a
dying
coal
fire
and
a
glans
-
headed
cobra
reared
up
the
ridged
muscle
of
his
stomach
from
his
waistline
.
The
hands
that
hung
open
at
his
sides
were
tipped
with
filed
talons
.
His
face
was
seamed
with
scar
tissue
from
the
freak
fights
he
had
lost
and
there
was
a
cheap
prosthetic
magnilens
screwed
into
one
eye
.
His
voice
was
surprisingly
soft
and
sad
sounding
.
"
Come
slumming
,
maybe
,
"
the
figure
on
the
giant
’
s
right
said
viciously
.
He
was
young
and
slim
and
pale
with
long
,
fine
hair
falling
across
his
face
and
there
was
a
twitchiness
about
his
stance
that
said
cheap
neurachem
.
He
would
be
the
fastest
.
The
third
member
of
the
welcoming
committee
said
nothing
,
but
lips
peeled
back
from
a
canine
snout
to
show
transplanted
predator
teeth
and
an
unpleasantly
long
tongue
.
Below
the
surgically
augmented
head
,
the
body
was
male
human
beneath
tightly
strapped
leather
.
Time
was
shortening
.
My
tail
would
be
paying
off
his
cab
,
getting
his
bearings
.
If
he
’
d
decided
to
take
the
risk
.
I
cleared
my
throat
.
"
I
’
m
just
passing
through
.
You
’
re
wise
,
you
’
ll
let
me
.
There
’
s
a
citizen
landing
back
there
you
’
ll
find
easier
to
take
.
"
There
was
a
brief
,
disbelieving
pause
.
Then
the
giant
reached
for
me
.
I
brushed
away
his
hand
,
fell
back
a
step
and
wove
a
rapid
pattern
of
obvious
killing
strikes
into
the
air
between
us
.
The
trio
froze
,
the
canine
augment
snarling
.
I
drew
breath
.
"
Like
I
said
,
you
’
re
wise
you
’
ll
let
me
pass
.
"
The
giant
was
ready
to
let
it
go
.
I
could
see
it
in
his
broken
face
.
He
’
d
been
a
fighter
long
enough
to
spot
combat
training
and
the
instincts
of
a
lifetime
in
the
ring
told
him
when
the
balance
was
tipped
.
His
two
companions
were
younger
and
knew
less
about
losing
.
Before
he
could
say
anything
,
the
pale
kid
with
the
neurachem
lashed
out
with
something
sharp
and
the
augment
went
for
my
right
arm
.
My
own
neurachem
,
already
ticking
over
and
probably
more
pricey
,
was
faster
.
I
took
the
kid
’
s
arm
and
broke
it
at
the
elbow
,
twisting
him
round
on
his
own
pain
and
into
his
two
companions
.
