                RETRIBUTION

PART 22  BY THE CHOIR BOYZ TEAM............................

The shot from the Herculean struck in the center of his chest.
Hawk reeled back and struggled to gain his footing but the
blow from a Xendrix slashed across his knees.  It was not a
fatal wound, but one that would cause tremendous pain and
agony.  It was the type of act a venomous, merciless creature
would perform.  As he wrenched in pain, he grasped for
anything that he could use as a weapon.  His right arm was
then severed at the elbow.  Someone was meticulous in killing
him slowly.  Hawk raised his eyes at Black Widow.  She kicked
his weapons aside and emptied the contents of his back pack to
the ground.  She examined the items and retrieved the floppy
disk.  It fit neatly into her own backpack.  She stacked the
items and Hawk's weapons in a neat pile, and placed duroplast
in the center of it.  Black Widow scurried to the rocks.  The
concussion from the blast caused him to lose consciousness,
but for only a few moments.  When he awakened, his vision was
blurred, and he struggled to focus on his assassin.  His eyes
cleared and he gazed at Black Widow who was a few feet away,
kneeling on one knee.  He then smiled as if to say he would
ask for no quarter.  Black Widow also smiled...........none
was offered.  She raised her Herculean.

Bankshot's guard duty at the Supply Room was terminated when
Scarecrow received the transmission from Black Widow.
Bankshot was reassigned to the computer that spat out the
Frontier Log.  It was there for all to see.  Hawk was killed
by Black Widow.  Word spread like wild fire throughout the
Complex and the Wastelands.  Osprey warned that the plan was
not yet complete.

The grinding sound of the floppy disk drove her to near
madness.  She had come this far without incident only to be
thwarted by the computer in the Missile Silo.  She had made
every effort to protect the disk during the journey to the
silo and had the exact coordinates to Hawk's base on level 4.
She was very close to cracking the code, when the floppy disk
disintegrated.  She had started phase three and was determined
to complete her part of the operation.  Black Widow headed for
level 5.
