Fontanas Trouble (13 page)
She
jumped back, then took several more paces back as the wall of green inched
toward her. What the hell was the thing? A disintegrator field to kill rats and
other vermin? Maybe a sterilizer against alien microbes and bugs? Either one
would kill stowaways. Her pulse spiked. The damn thing was between her and the
only exit.
She
backed away as the death wall inched forward. It extended from floor to ceiling
and both walls, effortlessly formed itself around obstructions, then snapped
back into place. Her calves contacted with the bed. The plane of force
penetrated into every nook and cranny.
Sasha
darted a glance at the door on the other side of the green wall. Sweat broke
out across her forehead. Maybe she could short it out or open a hole. She drew
the Omegatron and fired at the wall’s glowing center. The pulse hit, then
vanished. No sparks, no sound. The green swirls remained unchanged. Her heart
pounded. What kind of force field could do that to Omega radiation?
Fighting
panic, she sidled around the bed and backed up until her shoulder blades met
the wall. The thing advanced, swept through the bed, closer…closer. Blood
roared in her ears as she pressed against the wall. The force field couldn’t be
deadly, could it? No warning or alarm had been given before the scan began.
That was a law, wasn’t it? An alarm always had to sound when a deadly field was
triggered?
The force
field closed in.
Sasha
turned her head to the side, cheek pressed to the wall. She choked back tears.
Centor’s secret of warp-field technology would die with her.
Dad.
The green
field made contact.
