186 " I jam the knife into his eye. Bone crackles and blood sprays. I use the knife to twist his face away from me: a bloodstain on this livery could be fatal, on my way out. He flops like a salmon that's found unexpected land beneath an upstream leap. This is only his body's last unconscious attempt to live; it goes hand-in-hand with the release of his bowels and bladder.

Ten innocent lives.One."Or, hell, one not-so-innocent life," Nick muttered. "Like mine."He flipped the carbine's power setting to stun. "I hate Jedi. Hate 'em. Really, really, really. Hate. "
