Outcome sets the stage for Edward Robertson's Breakers series. When Ellie Colson, an agent with the Department of Advance Analysis, sees the rate of infection she knows if she doesn't make it to NYC now she may never see her ex-fiancé again. So, against orders, she heads out in hopes that she's able to find him in time to get to safety. Meanwhile, in NYC, Chip and his adopted daughter are shuffled off the Metro into quarantine. Separated from his daughter and with no one answering his questions, Chip is beyond confused and frustrated when Ellie bursts in his cell to break him out. Can the two find Dee before it's too late? Ellie knows the virus progresses quickly, but Chip will not leave the city without his daughter.I really enjoyed this short. I like Edward's style of writing, although it's a bit King-esque in parts (which I consider a positive and a negative at times). I also like his characters sense of humor, strength, and determination. I may continue the series, which begins with [b:Breakers|13485992|Breakers|Edward W.
