Imagining how it could have left my brains scattered all over had it come across my head, I went into turbo-charge mode. With my trouser on one hand and the shirt on the other, I ran as fast as I could. I am still trying to fi gure out how I came out of that small window, but I did.
Small-house! However, my supersonic speed was not in any way changing the prospects of the danger I was faced with. In my full fl ight, I still had an assortment of ardware to deal with.
