ADHESION
Pierce Ford stumbled hazily out of the fiery wreckage of the once plush and opulant estate. The corpse of the senator lay at his feet and the window before him lay shattered and broken, spilling in a chilling breeze. He struggled to remember the events preceding the explosion, clutching the bloody gash across the side of his face. He then remembered. His name was Noah Ford, he has just killed the senator of Anglatosh-V, Ohnoki Sahram. After a heated fight with his personal guards, he set off a grenade in a last ditch effort to get the job done. Now, it was time to escape. The original option of posing as a guard and slipping out was out of the question, as no doubt many armed clones would pour in and execute him in less than thirty seconds. The only option, was out the window.
As he strode toward the window, the familiar swoosh of the automatic doors sounded off behind him and he stopped mid step. Hand on the hilt of his gun, he waited for the familiar click of the gun, ready to fire. But it never came.
"What was it. Money? Revenge? Or just for the fun of it?" Ahsoka said, staring dead the figure stopped at the edge of the window. "You have no idea." he responded coldly. He was only as old as she was. He returned his stride to the open window, that plummets over 200 stories down to the bottom of the Coruscant skyline. Intent on catching the murderer, she began running toward the assailant. But before she could get close, he reached the edge, turned to face her, and dropped.
Just barely hanging off the automated airspeeder, he watched as the Senate building faded slowly, and as the young jedi jumped in pursuit after him. He jumped to his feet, fighting against the strong wind current. The only way to make it out alive and away from the jedi was to make a steady drop for about 500 meters, and without hesitation, Pierce drew his gun, and fired upon the gravitational unit, hanging on dearly as the craft plunged through the airlanes.
He had to be crazy. No man could survive that kind of crash. Watching the rogue airspeeder plummeting toward the ground, her thoughts were on saving him, but there was no way to catch it at that speed. Today he would die. Or so she thought.
It hit him like a brick wall, the crash of the vehicle streaking across the side of a massive building beside him. The ship had picked up too much speed, no way to survive if it crashed. He pointed his gun at an approaching window, fired and rolled in. It was a miracle he didn't break his legs from the impact.
How he could do it was amazing, always finding a way out, a way to escape. He was crafty, cunning, but she didn't give up pursuit. Ahsoka leapt off the airspeeder toward the open cracked window of the old apartments. It seemed like a place a common thug like him would hide in. She hit the open windowsill with a loud thump, peering into the open room. It seemed empty, and she stepped inside. It looked as if the room was locked, so he hadn't of left. She had him cornered. But before she could act, a hand drew over her mouth and around her throat. Struggling, she could tell he wasn't the strongest, until he spoke. "You were supposed to die today. It's my job. Your not supposed to be alive, but I'm going to let you live. Your the kind of person that we need, and you will need us. So when it all falls apart, look for us. Where you don't want to look". Then it all went black.
If you're wondering about the terms of the chapter titles, they are physics related and somewhat closely relate to the plot of the chapter. This is Science-fiction right?
