บท 228: Surprising Zimbo

Tom,

I am about to drop in. Don't freak out, and don't shoot my little green buddy. Just tell Sal to start making steaks as soon as you see Captain Nora Halt with my pets at 12:00:00 

Boss Z

""Send""

With the V-mail sent Tom could not say that he didn't warn him. Just because he didn't provide details didn't mean he didn't warn him.

The timing was critical. Zeph had to time when he lifted off perfectly, or the odds of someone in dispatch informing Commissioner Vaughn of the suspicious light cargo transport aircraft flying low over the city if a certain General Tomson or LDPD Chief had not already tipped him off.

It wasn't a big deal if he knew, but it increased the chances of Jade learning about it and telling Laxana.

Checking the time Zeph could see 11:59: 32 floating in the corner of his vision thanks to the overlay provided by his VGPIINNC. 

He started the engines and prepared for liftoff as he keyed the microphone.
