LIBERTY RUN

THE RUSSIANS HAD DESTROYED THE WORLD----
NOW THEY WANTED TO RULE WHAT WAS LEFT OF IT.RED SPY AT NIGHT
Blade stepped over the cot
and reached the officer while the Russian was still on his knees. He flicked his
right foot up and out, connecting, slamming his instep into the Russian's ribs, knocking
the officer onto his back.
"Blade! Stop!" Plato cried.
Blade's left hand grabbed the gasping officer under the chin. He
squeezed and lifted, his arm bulging, hauling the Russian from the cement floor and into
the air.
Plato went to grip Blade's arm, but Geronimo quickly stepped between
them, shaking his head.
Blade drew his right Bowie and pressed the tip into the Russian's
genitals.
The officer squirmed and thrashed, wheezing, his eyes bulging.
Blade paused, his gray eyes boring into the officer's. "You
killed two of my Family, you son of a bitch!" |

HOUSTON RUN

ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST---
THE WORLD SPINS ON
TOWARD FINAL DESTRUCTION.THE
WHIP
"Damn!" Blade fumed,
and burst from the stairwell, activating the whip. He plunged into the mass of
troopers, swinging the whip like a madman, cracking it left and right, sparks flying as
the whip crackled and sizzled.
Bedlam ensued. Crammed close together, the troopers were unable to fan
out, unable to avoid the terrible whip. Some of them screeched as their bodies were
jolted by a blow from the lash. Others endeavored to bring their batons into action,
without success.
Blade whirled in one direction, then another, his right arm constantly in
motion, knowing he couldn't afford to slacken his pace for an instant. The muscles
in his right arm bulged as he flicked the whip every which way. He slashed a
trooper's neck open and sent the trooper hurtling into those nearby. To the left he
seared a trooper's eyes. The trooper was flung backwards, plowing into others,
upending them in a tangle of limbs.... |
