“Good, good,” Julia said to herself. “That’s my little b***h. Don’t look back. Just keep your eyes on the prize. Yes, just keep going for that mountain, as if you’ll find the path.”
At the mention of the mountain wall, Paige’s interest switched to the approaching, unforgiving stone. “Uh, Julia...”
“That’s right,” Julia said, focused on the display.
“Julia, I think you really should—”
“Oh, this is so much fun.”
“Julia! Pull up!”
“...and...now!”
The engine screamed, and they dashed forward. Kerry turned her head around at the increased whine, but it was too late to dart out of the way. Paige closed her eyes, ready to go splat against the mountain. Instead, she felt the net slam into Kerry.
The chopper pulled up to the right in a tight arc.
Paige cracked an eye open. f**k!
