Zodiac
“We’re going to the banquet hall, though I can’t imagine why. Mathias glances behind us, and so do I. The dignitaries haven’t followed—we’re alone with Caasy and the two Guards.
I catch Mathias’s eye and notice he’s clutching his silver weapon. He gives me a subtle signal with his eyes. It seems like he’s telling me to hang back.
I slow down, and when I’ve put a little space between myself and the Guards, he moves like a bolt. He fires first at one Guard, then spins to shoot the other. H...is weapon discharges an arc of electricity, and I realize it’s a Taser. The Guards fall unconscious, and Caasy shrieks.
“What the Helios did you do?” he asks.
