TWENTY-SIX
The Red Raider had a look behind his shoulder, sitting behind the wheel of a speeding police car. “Eat my dust!”
Next to him was a bald guy with a head full of tattoos. He was one of the criminals The Red Raider freed from the police station. In the back were to of his own men.
“Thanks for getting me out of there,” the bald guy said. “Name’s Hutch.”
“Don’t thank me yet. You’re going to work for it,” The Red Raider said.
“I usually don’t work for people. I got my own crew.”
“You’re part of my crew now,” The Red Raider told him.
“What’s the plan?” Hutch asked.
“We just dealt the first strike to the city. We stole the cop’s resources, freed their prisoners… The city will be at our mercy now. Now we rob it, we rob it blind of everything they’ve got. I can use some hard men to rob some banks for me. Too bad I had to leave some of my supervillains behind.”
“What about The Heroic Alliance? Aren’t you afraid they will stop you?”
Red Raider guffawed. “Ha! They are usually too busy fighting on alien worlds and other dimensions to bother with the cities. So tell me, why were you arrested?”
“Robbed a bank. Got arrested when this stupid chick in spandex showed up. Bullets didn’t hurt her.”
“I heard some of my men tell about a girl like that at the police station. If she tries to bother me we will just see how she handles a grenade in the face. Anyway, I could use someone in charge of my bank robbery division. Up for the job?”
“Your division? And what? Split the profits?”
“No, I pay you a percentage.”

“What? Why would I do that if you expect me to do all the work?”
The Red Raider almost spun the car against a parked van, turning a corner at high speed, Hutch banging his shoulder against the window.
“Because I will be the one in charge of all criminal activities in this city. You saw what I did to the prisoner who didn’t want to join me, right?”
The Raider could see from the worried look on Hutch’s face he remembered how The Raider had shot that prisoner without given it a second thought.
“All right. I’m in for now.”
“Good,” The Raider said, rounding another corner that almost knocked Hutch into him.
“Boss,” a voice from one of the henchmen in the backseat piped up. “What will we do without Maximizer, Queen Neanderthal and Speed Metal? Weren’t they an integral part of your plan?”
“They might catch up. I had to leave them at the police station, but I figure they will get away from there. The cops won’t be able to keep them there for long. Not with us haven taken most of their weapons and a lot of them wounded.”
“But what if The Heroic Alliance does show up?” the henchman wondered.
“We take them down in a hail of bullets, explosives and laser blasters. My best scientists are working on some fantastic weaponry,” The Red Raider said.
“Scientists? What are you, a criminal or a tech company?” Hutch wondered.
“That’s what sets me apart from cheap hoods like you. I’ve got the strategy, the resources, the crew and the technology to become the biggest criminal of this country.”
“Cheap hood? Nobody calls me that!” Hutch said and went for The Red Raider’s throat.
The car started to swerve as The Raider tried to keep his eyes on the road and fight off the tattooed criminal.

The sound of gunfire, muffled by the seat of the police car sounded. Blood exploded from Hutch’s chest. The Red Raider’s henchmen hadn’t though twice about saving their leader.
Hutch’s grip slackened as his chin fell down to his chest, all light leaving his eyes. The Red Raider pushed him away from him. One hand on the steering wheel, he reached over and opened the door of the car. He pushed Hutch’s dead body out. It rolled across the street.
The Red Raider said, “Looks like the position for the bank robbery division is still open.”

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

8 143The Ratter
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.-Edmund Burke There are three kinds of monsters that every rookie adventurer can be expected to face. The first is the goblin, the small green humanoids that often cause problems out on the frontier. The second is the slime, the sneaky ambush predator that likes to drop down from the ceiling and seems to be just about everywhere. And then, there's the giant rat, the plague of the sewer and the tavern cellar. But they're nothing but a petty annoyance, right? Right? Wrong. Giant rats multiply like wildfire and mature very quickly. Unlike rats, they can very quickly exceed their available food supply and start hunting for human flesh the moment that nothing else is available. A hungry swarm, unchecked, can eat a city alive. But not if The Ratter has anything to say about it.
