.His kind could not be allowed to stand in the way of what Sholto wanted.Sholto scowled as he watched Mayhew and the other man at the half door at the post office.Hundreds of people would have walked by that every day without thinking about why it was a half door that seemingly had no reason or purpose, but not Mayhew.If he destroyed that, he destroyed the major entrance way into Cairns.The tropical city was an untapped paradise that he wanted to play with and corrupt.“And I can’t let him win.” He pulled his cell phone from his trouser pocket and tapped out a phone number.It still amused him that humans at this point of time and evolution used such a primitive device to communicate.Sholto thought about the communication implants that would be rolled out in three years time and how the technology would bitterly divide the world over the issue of privacy of thoughts and ideas.“Not my problem.” Nothing ever was when you were a time lord.You did as you pleased and rarely, except for a few noble individual time lords who had lofty ideals, was there a care factor about how others would be affected.“Socia, my dear.Are you ready for me?” He listened to the woman’s response.It was as expected.She wanted him, but she was wary of the consequences.Smart girl.“ Just be ready for me.” Sholto ended the call.He smiled.He enjoyed inflicting pain on the dark-eye wench.* * * * *Jim Kirk stood in the dark at the post office with Simon Mayhew.“This is going to be a hard one to deal with, Swerve.” Simon liked Jim.He had no idea of who Simon was.He was just a guy called Swerve.That suited Simon.He could be himself and not the wealth he has attained.He didn’t use the dopey alter ego personality with Jim.Only the name.What they were doing was too important to play games with.Real names were irrelevant anyway.Hence the reason he used Swerve and his colleague was naming himself after the Star Trek Captain.In their business, names were immaterial because the bottom line was saving people from those who sought to inflict there will on others.Like time lords.While they could never be successfully destroyed, they had to be contained and not allowed to run rampant through the world they knew.Simon nodded.“Yes.” They had walked through the full door a dozen times to work out if there was any backlash or current that could be connected to the half door.But there wasn’t, and that was odd.Rarely did time lords have one single portal to travel though.“There has to be another one.”“Maybe not.” Jim touched the door once more.“I want to go through.”Simon shook his head.“No, Jim, I can’t let you.Just touching the door tells me there’s immense power behind it.It would rip you to pieces.”“But we can’t leave it here, like this.”Simon knew that.Amazingly, the door had been standing like this since the mid-eighties and no one had changed it or wondered why, until one local paranormal hunter and his friend had tested it out.Only one of them survived to tell the tale and went on to report it to the group Simon and Jim belonged to.“We need to make it explode.”“Yes, but that’s not something we can do without causing a lot of attention to ourselves, Swerve.”“Correct.I’m thinking a storm or a cyclone is what we need.” Cairns was cyclone prone.A big bang in the middle of a massive storm would be just part of the storm.“Yes, but it’s not what the city needs.”“We both know there are worse things than a cyclone, Jim.”His colleague nodded.“So we hang around and wait for one, then blow it up and call it cyclone damage?”“Maybe.”“Maybe?” Jim looked at the other man with interest.“I’m thinking.”Jim smiled.“I feel a gorgon moment coming on.”Swerve and Jim had been in that one together.It was not something either would forget.“I did enjoy seeing them shattered into a thousand pieces.”“The nasty hags deserved it though it took forever to get gorgon guts off my shoes.”Simon smiled.Yeah, it had been messy but worth it.As for Sholto? They could try and kill him and not merely contain him.That would be better [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
