Maggie crawled through the air-duct, uncertain of where she was going, still moving as if with a purpose. Fiery red hair pulled back
into a ponytail, dressed in fatigues and sweating bullets.
"Damnation,"
she whispered under her breath. The gun in her hand ready for action. Stopped crawling when she heard voices filtering
through the duct.
"Are you sure?" one said.
"Yeah, psychics picked up another presence about 10 minutes ago," the other
said. "Be on alert for anything at all. Shoot first, ask
questions later. They're prepping a seance just in case."
"What's going on exactly?" voice one questioned.
"Not sure," the other answered. "But they're paying us the bucks to shoot the shit out of whoever the fuck pentatrated the outer defenses."
Maggie
began to crawl but much more slowly, inching her way closer to the
screen. Saw a warehouse, tons of boxes and a few crates off to one
side. She could also make out two men standing by a door. Strained
to hear if there was anyone else in the warehouse section, but couldn't.
"Well, this is a good enough place to start with," she whispered.
She
positioned herself so that her feet were close to the screen, lying on
her back. She drew the other gun from
the holster and cocked it.
Both guards were startled when the screen fell from the ceiling. She
dropped down to the floor 15 feet below, firing both guns as she fell.
Bullets coughed from the weapons and hurled through time and space to
find their marks.
Both men hit the floor at the same time as she landed.
