Then the course had shifted south and a bit west, to Salt Lake City and then east, through Colorado and now the trail was taking them both through Kansas.Д®ast. The chase had brought Croggon Hainey from the Pacific port city of Seattle down through Idaho, past Twin Falls and into Wyoming where heвЂ™d almost nabbed Brink in Rock Springs.

The red-haired thief Felton Brink had taken HaineyвЂ™s ship, the Free Crow, and he was flying east with it. He could speculate easily enough, but none of his speculation warmed him with hope. He asked everyone, and no one in particular, вЂњWhere do you think theyвЂ™re taking her?вЂќ But since heвЂ™d asked that question a dozen times a day for the last week, he already knew he could expect no useful answer. His ship-his true ship, the one heвЂ™d stolen fair and square eight years before-was nowhere to be seen. He put one hand out against it and leaned that way, staring as far into the distance, and as far along the ground, and as far up into the heavens as his eyes could reach, but the view told him nothing he did not already know. His knees popped when he stood and he crouched to keep from hitting his head on the glass shield that separated him from the sky.

Hainey unfurled himself from the captainвЂ™s chair. Everybody already knew that the nameless craft, fitted for small men and light cargo, was not anyoneвЂ™s preferred vessel and no one wanted to imply, even in jest, that everything was not being done to retrieve the captainвЂ™s ship of choice. He said, вЂњWell, I might bet this boat.вЂќ But he didnвЂ™t push his complaint. Simeon reached for a thruster lever and knocked his elbow on a big glass knob. вЂњWe might, but I wouldnвЂ™t bet the boat on it.вЂќ Lamar squeezed his lip to adjust his chew. The captain didnвЂ™t precisely brighten, but for a moment he sounded less unhappy. WeвЂ™ll make it past Topeka, if thatвЂ™s what you want to hear.вЂќ The engineer glanced at the doorway to the engine room, though he couldnвЂ™t quite see the tanks from where he was sitting.

Lamar adjusted a lip full of tobacco and said, вЂњDoing all right.

Over his shoulder he asked, вЂњWhatвЂ™s our fuel situation look like?вЂќ Brink may know something I donвЂ™t,вЂќ he said, but he didnвЂ™t sound very worried. But I ainвЂ™t been through this way in awhile. вЂњThey have to set down in Topeka, donвЂ™t they? ThereвЂ™s no place else you know thatвЂ™ll take themвЂ¦or us?вЂќ

Simeon?вЂќ he asked the first mate, who was likewise crammed into a seat beside him. They didnвЂ™t even get a full tank of hydrogen back in Grand Junction. He removed his hat and squeezed at his forehead as if he could massage it into greater wakefulness or concentration. Hainey shifted in the captainвЂ™s seat, which had been built with a smaller man in mind. He adjusted his goggles to guard against the glare of the sun on the clouds and added, вЂњBut weвЂ™ll catch them. вЂњThe breeze moves us both,вЂќ the first mate said, and he shrugged. With his hands balled into fists and jammed atop his knees, he groused, вЂњWe shouldвЂ™ve caught them by now. HeвЂ™d made this run a dozen times before, in fair weather and foul, with contraband cargo and passengers alike and on this particular trip a tailwind gently urged the ship forward.Д«ut the speed that took him from the Pacific Northwest, over the mountains and down to the flatlands, did not improve the captainвЂ™s mood.

For six days, Croggon Hainey watched the Rockies scroll beneath the borrowed, nameless dirigible, until finally the last of the jagged ridges and snow-dusted plateaus slipped behind the ship on the far side of Denver.
