The Tommyknockers Novels & Stories

... "Two years ago, the Carter Group fell apart. New companies squeezed them out, and now they're smaller than minor firms. These properties were sold off," Hannah explained. Kimberly's eyes widened in shock. Since leaving the hospital, she hadn't contacted Daniel and had focused on her life abroad. Thus, she was unaware of the Carter family's collapse.

"You all remember Cobra right? Cobra, this is Hash, Flame, Blade, and Twist." I held back laughter at their names. I mean, mine isn't much better but still.
