Fuse Chapter 17 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Pressia (Smokestack)

  • The machine-gun fire? Basement Boys. How did they get guns? Who knows?
  • Pressia finds El Capitan ducking for cover, and she asks him why he's limping. He lies to her again, but she's not fooled. It's a spider.
  • All the sudden, there's a massive explosion.
  • Not El Capitan though: phew. The Special Forces are just bringing out the big guns.
  • Pressia and El Capitan are separated, and El Capitan vows to bring Wilda to a medical outpost.
  • Helmud waves at Pressia: it's possibly a last goodbye.
  • Lucky for Pressia, the mothers come in for backup, and Bradwell escapes the subway car with Fignan and the maps.
  • Ugh, but watch out for the pesky Dusts. One grabs Bradwell by the leg.
  • No worries though, Pressia plunges a stray lawn dart into its ribs and they get away.
