Wiped
“No way in hell. But I ran, shouting a warning, letting the electronic whine of the gun punctuate the fact.
In moves too quick to assimilate, the woman reached out and grabbed a fistful of Lena’s hair, hauling her against her side, the laser gun’s muzzle under her chin.
Everything stopped.
My heart. The world. Even the air stood still, hanging suspended between us; heavy, thick, threatening.
My eyes sought out Lena’s. So blue. So calm. They stared back.
The sound of my laser ...gun hitting the dirt at my feet rebounded inside the room, the clatter ricocheting off the high, domed ceiling. My pulse setting up an accompanying beat inside my head.
The woman said something in that fucking pidgin Anglisc.
Calvin oh-so-calmly translated the words inside our ears.
“No one move.”
