​     "Damn!" Adam said. "I've got to admit, I didn't see that coming."

     "I'm sorry, Adam, but I've been with Gideon for..."

     "I know. I know. You're an associate. Gideon Goldbody's going to make you a millionaire." 

​     "Many times over."

     "What, after he takes over the world he's going to give you Bolivia?"

​     "No one can stop him, Adam. He's too powerful."

​     "Yes, but..."

​     She had nothing more to say. She pulled the trigger. The knock-out dart caught Adam in the thigh. It had enough juice in it to take down a rhino. Even at that, Adam took a few staggering steps towards her, mumbling incoherently before finally collapsing unconscious to the ground.

​     Tana looked up to see a Stargod descend towards her from directly above. Then,

     BAM! 

​     Her skyship, the one from Goldbody to pick her up, bigger than Adam's, blew the Stargod out of the sky.

​     "I'm sorry, Adam," she said as she rehid her weapon, "but you have no idea...I am going to be sooooo rich."
