4-H-N Fireworks, Chapter One
From an archway across the busy street by the shuttle-port 4-H-N looked in dismay. Stripped to her knickers, barefooted on concrete, she was still reeling from the Ritual of Demand and her subsequent expulsion from Flash Club Headquarters. It had been worse than she’d imagined, and the Drenthis feeling shuddered within her. Staying out of sight in the alleys and shadows had kept it from intensifying any further, at least. Half the galaxy was aflame, and the conurbation reminded 4-H-N of afternoons on Earth when bad news had broken. The passersby may not have been human beings, but all were distracted and afraid. Keyed to the sudden eruption of violence they expected any second, a half-naked hiding girl hadn’t crossed their minds, and consequently most of them didn’t register her on sight. That had ironically been the one point in 4-H-N’s favour as she made her way, creeping under walls, one arm thrown over her torso.
