"SHIIIITTTT," Ethan screamed as he swerved left to avoid an incoming hovercar. 

[i]"Fuck, I swore. I mean-. Damn it!"[/i] he thought as he swrved right onto a street. The cops were right behind him, he didn't have to look with the number of airborne hovercopters around him. 

[i]"I could just stop and let the cops take me. Then again, I would probably get killed by the obviously dysnfuctional robot on my back right now,"[/i] he thought. 

He could feel her single arm wrapped tightly around him, almost to the point of suffocation. His face slightly blushed at the sensation.

[i]"God, do I really miss the company of woman so much?"[/i] he thought shaking his head. [i]"And why did today be the day I get landed with a psychotic cyborgel and one of those lunatic rebels. [/i]

As he turned his focus back toward the road he realized that the road had ended and he was going full speed ahead to a brick wall.

"Oh sh-!" he screamed and pushed hard on the brake. The deceleration caused the bottom of the hoverbike to lift up but it was too late. 

The bike hit the wall and shattered through it. Pieces of brick and dust flew everywhere. He heard screaming as he felt himself be launched free and crash into a table.

"Afhg," he muffled as he slammed down and onto the ground. He landed face up. Dizzy and disoriented he saw coins, cards, and chips flutter down around him.
