"I hope so," Blalok said as he braked the jeep to a stop in front of the hospital. "I suppose you'll want to take some things along." "So I will," Kennon said. "I'll be back in a minute." Kennon slid from the seat, leaving Blalok looking peculiarly at his departing back.
Of a sudden Red Hoss was aware of a vast, indefinite, mouse-colored bulk looming directly in the path before him. He braked hard and tried to swing out, but he was too close upon the obstacle to avoid a collision. With a loud metallic smack the bow of the swerving taxicab, coming up from the rear, treacherously smote the mastodonic Queenie right where her wrinkles were thickest.
A week later, The Eggnog braked down through the troposphere, skidded to a piddling two-thousand miles, an hour through the stratosphere, automatically sprouted gliding wing stubs in the atmosphere and planed down to a spraying halt in the Pacific Ocean, fifty miles west of Ensenada in Baja, California. Aboard were man's first views of the red planet. The world went mad with jubilation.
The boys tackled the knots with desperation and suddenly Scotty fell forward as his hands loosened. Outside, the car braked to a stop. Rick wondered if Mac and Pancho had come to keep a rendezvous? He couldn't get rid of the feeling that those two were involved somehow. "A few minutes more," Scotty gritted. "The knots are loose." Then, "I got it."
Well" she could guess, rather than see, the shrug which accompanied the words "I can't blame you. It's my own fault, I suppose." He braked the car, and she quivered to a dead stop, throbbing like a live thing in the darkness.
The driver of the sand car must have seen the flare of their fire, because the truck turned and started towards them. It braked in a choking cloud of dust and ready hands reached to pull them up. Brion pushed the body in ahead of himself and scrambled after it. The truck engine throbbed and they churned away into the blackness, away from the gutted tower.
Turning a corner, he braked suddenly, mouth agape. Ahead was destruction. Black, broken rubble had been churned into desolation. It was still smoking, pink tongues of flame licking over the ruins. A fragment of wall fell with a rumbling crash. "It's your building the Foundation building!" Telt shouted. "They've been here ahead of us must have used the radio to call a raid.
Without further discussion, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off along the paved drive. Seconds later, his car braked to a stop near Tom Jr.'s private laboratory. The scientist jumped out and made his way through the milling crowd. "What's going on?" Mr. Swift stared in astonishment at Tom and Bud, who were both doubled up with laughter.
Winters braked the jet car suddenly, throwing Vidac up against the windshield. "What are you doing?" snapped Vidac. "Sorry, boss," replied Winters. "There's the road leading to the Logan place up ahead." Winters slowed for the turn off the main highway and then accelerated to full power again on the side road. "How are you going to get old Logan to sign the release?" asked Winters.
"I hate people who force a present on one," she continued, "and then, just as one begins to like it, want it back." Before I could speak, she asked hurriedly, "How often do you come to Chicago?" I took that to be a sort of command that I was to wait, and though longing to have it settled then and there, I braked myself up and answered her question.
