Metafire

Angela confessed, "We have another problem. Frank and I may have made a grotesque error. The FBI is sending a tug at high speed to intercept us. They will intercept tomorrow, while we are still over 50,000 miles from the moon."

Frank added, "They said they have a power laser. They can shoot us."

Jane then had to say, "I asked to be taken back. I asked Erisa. We threatened them with the bomb if they did not come."

George now became visibly upset. "I assume that you know what you have done. We have removed the killer satellite, only to have you invite in another one. And why, Jane, did you want to go back? It's prison. Or, did you negotiate a deal with them?"

"They think that the murderer of the millions was you, George. They just want you. Others can go free."

George knew exactly what to do, "Then, we will kill them when they get near us. We will have to destroy the tug. Once it's destroyed, we will be free again. We still have the bomb. We still have the threat. Whether it's used or not, and whether any one of us is guilty of killing the millions, is less important."
