City On Fire (Metropolitan 2)

Cover City On Fire (Metropolitan 2)
Genres: Fiction
There is a conference room in Constantine’s suite of offices, but its huge bay window faces Lorkhin Island and any rocket batteries or artillery that might soon be placed there, and so the meeting is held deep in the Palace, in a lounge intended for maintenance workers. The furniture is cheap plastic and the walls vibrate to the sound of generators and compressors in adjacent rooms. Taped to the bare walls are pinups of seminude women, some faded with age. Aiah recognizes the Nimbus Twins, freq...uently seen cavorting on her brothers’ walls when she was growing up.
    Constantine’s department heads sit impatiently in the plastic chairs and glance frequently at their watches. Constantine has called this meeting, and he is late. There is little conversation. Aiah feels her eyelids droop. Her abbreviated sleep seems a long time ago.
    And then the door booms open and Constantine enters. He greets everyone, grins as he inspects the pinups, and then sits on a waiting plastic chair.
