Torn Apart
“I kept the door open, hoping he wouldn’t notice. All I had to do was step out, fire the shotgun, and that would be the end of him.
The downside to this plan is that I would have to wait until he got nice and close. Kenji once told me that a shotgun was only effective as a close-range weapon. A shotgun shell was crammed full with ball bearings that sprayed outwards when you fired. The further away the target was when you fired, the less concentrated the blast would be.
So I needed to wait until ...he got nice and close.
I would also need to make sure that I stepped forward, so I was standing over Maria. If I stood back, there was a chance that I could accidentally shoot her.
I could not take that risk.
All of this raced through my mind as the man in the gas mask walked down the center aisle of the carriage, towards Maria.
Strike from the shadows, I thought to myself.
Strike hard. Strike fast.
I was following Ben’s advice to the letter.
This had to work. Failure was not an option.
