Aubrey Wood's intriguing new crime story releases next year from Rebellion Publishing.
They hit the main floor and stumbled into the illicit casino-slash-strip club-slash-absolutely a mobster hangout., thought Kiera, numbly, as Herrera dragged her by the wrist past the game tables and then through the dancefloor full of bright-haired freaks . It was dark, choked with vape smoke, noisier than hell and full of bodies in here.
A pixelated blue arrow popped into Kiera’s vision, pointing up and right. “It says three hundred and forty meters, that-a-way.”“Whatever! Fuck! Run! I hate you!” They sprinted out the other side of the alley and tried to disappear in the crowd, but Herrera’s ridiculous trench coat and Kiera’s Statue of Liberty torch-flame of magenta hair were going to be easy to pick out. “Which way?” asked Herrera. Kiera pointed. Herrera cut straight across the road, almost getting hit; the black car screeched to a stop, blasted its horn, and Herrera hopped and skidded right across the hood. Kiera went for no such theatrics, happy to go around.
“ROOF ROOF ROOF. STOP. CEASE. ROOF. CEASE FIRE. ROOF ROOF. BY ORDER OF THE NEW CARSON POLICE DEPARTMENT. YOU WILL CEASE. ROOF ROOF ROOF.”Herrera hauled the thing off the ground like he was going to give it the Heimlich. Kiera ducked behind him.“Yeah, yeah, shoot back already, you fuckin’ waste of tax dollars.” The dog’s mounted gun fired a teeth-chatter burst across the street, while Herrera wrestled with the flailing robot to keep it pointed in the right direction.
They cut through another alley, ran past one of Kiera’s favorite donut shops—would she ever be able to come by here again?—and there was the promised car parked on the opposite corner, an ugly little lime green box. They crossed during a merciful break in traffic and sprinted to the car,Kiera scrambled for the keys in the glove compartment and tossed them to Herrera. In just a second the car roared, dashboard and radio lighting up neon green.
