4 Terramezic Energy (33 page)

Jason hit the accelerator and swerved the car around her. She grabbed the passenger’s side door as the vehicle passed and pressed her body flat against it. Jason raced his vehicle into the street, turning sharp in a desperate attempt to dislodge the construo letalis curse. He accidentally cut off a car which honked long and hard at him. Jason could see the creature still clinging to the side. He gunned the engine and swerved back and forth several times but she held firm. She struck the passenger window, shattering it with ease. An instant later, she poked her head through the window. Jason slammed on the brakes but she braced herself against the inside of the window frame. He unlatched his seatbelt, threw open his door, and fled from his car. He knew he couldn’t outrun her but he wasn’t about to sit and wait for her strangle him or break his neck while he was driving.

Jason glanced behind him and saw that she was already dashing after him in pursuit. He didn’t have much time. Jason’s desperate gaze searched for a possible avenue of escape. He reached the sidewalk and raced down past the stores which were all closed for the night. The woman caught up with and him shoved him to the side and off his feet. He hit the brick wall of a clothing store. An instant later, the creature wrapped her fingers around his throat and pulled him several feet above the ground. He grabbed her hand and tried to pry her fingers loose but they wouldn’t budge. His vision blurred as he began to lose consciousness. He saw Monte’s black sports coupe pull up to the curb. Monte and Michelle emerged from the vehicle and rushed over to help Jason.
