"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."

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,

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