"Get me Out of Here" from Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker

Jack ran through the corridors of Hephaestus. There was so much to do, and so little time. The bomb had been planted, and now all he had to do was make a break for Ryan's office...

WHEEE-WOOOOO! Suddenly, there were security bots surrounding him, and shooting. He dove behind some crates, but a Splicer waited for him there. God, would this ever end? A quick burst of the Cyclone Trap plasmid didn't kill the poor bastard, but it at least got him out of the way.

Jack dodged more security bots and turrets until he came to the central control room. The place shook like mad. Andrew Ryan was yelling over the loudspeaker. Atlas was yelling into the radio at his hip. Their words became garbled in the confusion. Jack did manage to catch the words "-destroying the whole city!" from his Irish counterpart over the shortwave, and a glance at the computer monitors in the room told him that it was indeed true. Ryan had set the place to self-destruct.

There was only one thing to do: Obey Atlas, who'd basically told him everything since he wound up in this godforsaken hellhole of an ex-utopia. Run like hell. Dodge the splicers. Get to Ryan's office. Stop the bastard. Kill him if necessary- no, wait. Kill him at all costs.

After all, Atlas had said "Would You Kindly?", hadn't he?
