Chapter #3
Cheating Death
by: Unknown
"You see Mister Sterling," Salisbury voices proudly, "You have foiled my plans far too many times in the past, and there is no doubt you would continue to do so in the future. You have also cheated death with more lives than that of a cat. Your reputation is invincible." He grins wide, "But this time you won't be so fortunate." He squeezes his fist tight then sticks out his big thumb. He reaches down from the dark heavens.
Unable to run, as that's just not in your character, you stand strong as doom drops down overhead. You calmly reach into your pocket and retrieve what seems to be an ordinary pen, only with a careful aim and a press of a button, it transforms. Smoke seeps out and rockets ignite to propel the needle-like instrument skyward, spiraling, piercing into Salisbury's skin.
He shouts, whines, and retracts his crushing assault, turning away and nursing his punctured digit. His female companion crowds close by him with her back to you and both villains are effectively distracted, providing you the perfect chance to dive for freedom over the table's edge.
You fall through the cold air toward the two giants, and when the time is right, you fire a hooked cable from your wristwatch. It whips out and latches on to the woman's dress just below her hips. With this new anchor point, you swing toward her and softly land against the wall of fabric. Cutting through the fabric with a miniature saw in your cufflink, you detach and reel in the cable and slip in under the woman's dress covertly, the whole operation taking mere seconds in silence.
In the confusion of the outside world, Salisbury realizes you've disappeared from his grasp, "Where did he? Find him! He couldn't have run far at his size. Start searching, but capture him alive! I want him brought to me directly so I may personally witness his demise!" He sucks on his sore thumb again and storms out of the room. You hold tight to his fretting female friend, hidden between her bare skin and taut cloth.
