Nick knew how this was about to go down. There would be words like national security, classified information, and military operation, then this Major would take everything away and he’d be off the case.

This case, he thought, something… wrong. Besides he was having that feeling and he’d not had that feeling since the war. No way he’d drop it now.

Just as he was starting to raise hell with the Major, he caught the movement in the corner of his eye. Something stalking them in the shadows, circling, coming into position.

His mind went into overdrive, senses heightened, a quick focus and… there, but no, can’t be as the Chimera stepped right out of a nightmare and directly into Nicks line of sight.

Chimera, a perverse blend of flesh and metal with the twisted psyche of a serial killer, barely controllable, outlawed by every nation. Death was to it, a form of masturbation and this one had them dead in it’s sights, target locked, no escape.

“Get Down!” Nick scream as the first shot rang out.
