Prologue
It was 7:30 in the morning when Lani pulled into the new Acceledrome. She got out of the car looking a little confused. She just didn't understand.
By the time she got to the conference room, she finally realized the drivers weren't working on their cars like they usually did this time in the morning. She opened the door and found out why.
Dr. Tezla had called a meeting to discuss…whatever it was he deeded to discuss. He was the secretive type.
All eyes were upon Lani as she entered. All had the same question. Karma finally broke the silence, "where were you?"
"The airport." The answer brought a few eyebrows up.
"Why?"
"I was, uh, following, uh…" Her eyes darted to the empty seat.
"Where'd he go?" This time Nolo spoke up. It had been on his mind since Breakfast.
"He, uh, he quit."
"What?!" came the chorused response. Everyone but Markkie looked surprised. He actually looked kind of downcast. Shirako, of course didn't hear a thing.
"That's what he told me." She finished lamely. She watched them as they let it sink in. Kurt Wylde had just quit Teku.
