Novel Continuation #3

Sorry this is a bit late, I went out of town and my blog wasn't ready until today.

Here's a bit more of my novel, then on to buisness.

    It would have to be fast.  Damian grabbed a small case out of his jacket pocket.  There were three small syringes inside, filled with tranquilizers.  He picked one out, tested it by pushing the plunger a bit, then pointed his gun above him at the camera.  The bullet took the camera through the power cord and then continued out of the other side with a small clang.  The guard turned around just as Damian jabbed him with the syringe.  He gasped and dropped to the floor.  Damian ran past him and kicked the startled engineer in the face as he looked up, using the force of the follow-through to turn him towards the scientist.  The scientist, an older man with peppered hair, stood still, looking at the gun pointed at him.
"Turn around, and run out that door," Damian said, gesturing towards the exit.
   The man hesitated.  He'd be punished for running.  Damian gestured again.  "Run now."  The man nodded slowly, then ran out the door.  Setting his pistol down, Damian moved to the computer.  It was running a complex system for monitoring the reactor.  He closed it and opened up the database from the desktop.  He got a request for an access code.  There was a disc-shaped machine the size of his thumb in his pocket.  He pulled it out, and inserted the adaptor into the port of the computer.  It began running a series of algorithms to crack the access code.  He walked over to the reactor.  It was a large metal cylinder covered in pipes and pressure valves.  Damian opened the satchel, and pulled out the explosives.  He pressed them to the metal, then connected the wires to the detonator.  Behind him, there was a beep as the disk finished its job.  Then the alarms went off.


I hope you are all enjoying my blog (not quite sure who actually reads this), but I have been trying to write while listening to music, and it actually does work.  Music helps me think, and I've found that I am a lot more creative if I'm listening to music.  Fast paced music works best, as listening to Pachebel's Canon just puts me to sleep. For those of you wanting to write, you should definitely listen to music as a booster.

Here's the band who inspired me to write this book, actually:  Fun.
