so it’s tough for them to get the drop on him but I’m afraid he’s going to burn himself out if he keeps that up for too long. He usually takes his opponents down rather quickly so he’s never had to push himself to that speed for more than a few minutes at a time. Even I don’t know if his heart can hold up if he maintains that speed for too long. That’s why you have to get there, Ace. You’ve got to get there as soon as you can!”
    What do you think I’m doing? I thought sarcastically as I glanced at my speedometer, which now teetered between 310 and 315 miles per hour.
    “ What’s gotten in to Reaper? Did he tell you anything about this before hand?” I asked.
    “No. Of course he didn’t.”
    “It just seems odd that he would suddenly decide to single-handedly attack the most fortified Stranger stronghold in the country. Something doesn’t smell right about this, Echo,” I continued, and I immediately became suspicious when Howie didn’t respond right away.
    “Echo?” I repeated.
    “I might have mentioned a theory of mine… but I didn’t think he would run off and storm Manhattan by himself!” Howie griped.
    “You’ve got to be kidding me, Howie! You know he thinks he’s invincible! What did you think would happen?!” I barked. “What did you say to him anyway?”
    “I’ve been using our satellites to monitor most of the larger Stranger controlled areas and I noticed that The Strangers nearly tripled their presence in Manhattan last week.”
    “That doesn’t explain why Reaper would charge in head first.”
    “Well, I kind of mentioned to him that I thought they were beefing up security because Alias might have temporarily relocated to Manhattan. The Strangers have been able to maintain control over the cities they captured due to the threat of detonating their bombs and killing themselves along with their civilian hostages but that’s not an option if their leader is present. Usually their regular foot soldiers would gladly make martyrs of themselves in order to further the Stranger agenda but none of them would do so if it meant blowing up their leader as well. That’s why they increased their troops so drastically. They know that if it comes down to it they’ll have to fight because they can’t rely on the threat of killing the hostages with Alias present.”
    “So your plan was to call their bluff? Are you out of your mind, Howie?! You’re gonna get Reaper killed!” I growled.
    “They won’t detonate the bomb, Ace. I know it,” Howie insisted.
    “There’s no way for you to know that for sure! I can’t believe you would be so irresponsible!” I snapped.
    “I know for a fact that Alias is there, Ace! Reaper confirmed it! There’s no way they’ll detonate the bomb and kill their leader.”
    “Well, I hope your little plan works,” I grumbled.
    Because if we lose Reaper we can kiss this planet goodbye, I thought to myself as I raced down the highway with my long headband flickering wildly in the wind behind me.
    “It wasn’t a plan. It was a theory. I hadn’t even run it by Wells yet—Holy crap Ace you’ve got incoming!” Howie suddenly shouted.
    “ What do you mean incoming? Cops?” I demanded as I looked behind me.
    “Doubt it! Looks like Strangers. You’ve got two bogies in the air about two miles out and it looks like you’re going to have some company on the freeway as well.”
    “How did they know I was coming?” I asked.
    “They had to have been tapping Reaper’s comms during our phone call. I should have thought about that. Dammit!” Howie cursed as I checked my side mirrors for Strangers.
    “Well that’s just great,” I mumbled sarcastically as the deep chopping sound of helicopter propellers sent my heart into a frenzy.
    “Hey, it’s not like I—Ace watch out!” Howie suddenly screamed.
    I looked in my side mirror just in time to see a second helicopter descend out of the sky behind me and fire a rocket in my direction. I hugged my bike
