Description:They were both clones of Matthew Nesrady; cooked up within days of one another in the same UGS Special Projects lab by the very same Dr. Escuniti.The thing was that though they might look the same, they were totally different in every other way. John said that Escuniti had messed with their DNA; messed enough that John was a precog, and he wasn't.And now Dr. Escuniti and a bunch of UGS corporate assholes were on the hunt for John. He had to help John get away if he could, and there was only one way for them to go.It was easy enough getting to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, but a big hunk of the newer span had collapsed when a freighter had plowed into a set of piers. The older bridge was still standing, but the steel of its girders and cables and bolts had been rusting away and snowing into the Bay, flake by orange flake, for decades.John said, "The bridge is falling down, Aaron."No shit. "Yeah, so we have to be very careful."There was no way to drive across the rusting hulk even on a bike, and walking was maybe possible only because public-spirited Noncos, non-corporate citizens, had patched the roadway with lumber and scrap metal in a hundred spots.John said, "Are you sure we have to cross here?"He nodded. John smiled and walked onto the bridge."John, do you see us getting across this piece of shit, death trap?""Yes. But we could fall into the water there and up there. And at the high part too. The high part is very bad."Why did he ask? "But you see a way to get across?""Sure. Take my hand, Aaron."He was the one who was supposed to take care of them.John said, "Trust me, Aaron."He hoped John's precog ability was real.He gazed through a hole in the bridge that was large enough to swallow a truck, and probably had. Looking through the hole, he could see a couple of sailboats speeding across the water and waves splashing against the piers as the wind whistled through the wires and and kicked up whitecaps on the Bay.It was a damn postcard view, if they didn't plunge to their deaths. They stopped when they reached the highest part, the suspension bridge section, which was basically just a long tube made of steel girders, dangling on rusty cables. The whole section had bent and twisted as the cables had failed one by one. Most of the roadbed was gone but there was a plank walkway. They had almost reached the next section of semi-intact roadbed when he heard the twang of a steel cable snapping.John yelled, "Jump! Jump!"John launched himself forward toward the road bed below. He rolled and jumped to his feet. "Aaron! Jump, you dumb bastard! Jump!"He jumped just as the walkway fell away beneath him. He landed screaming. He was slipping into the gap, clawing at the crumbling blacktop, when John grabbed his arm and dragged him to safety.They lay on their backs gasping.There was another steel cable twang and then another, and then the whole section groaned and started bending in the middle like a soda straw. The roadbed beneath them started to shift and slide as the structure tilted downward. Chunks of concrete were falling into the void like breadcrumbs swept off a table.They clawed their way up the increasing slope.They ran until they left the suspension part of the bridge far behind, and then they walked until they reached the Terra firma of the Eastern Shore.He sat down on the wonderful, solid ground with John beside him.They had survived step one of their daring escape.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
