The Aftereffect
WOMAN:
I just want to go home... please...
XIANG:
Roland... look at her pocket, it is glowing.
Oh, no... she's calling someone, probably the police. Who is this brave? How is this possible?
ROLAND:
There's... really only one option.
XIANG:
Agreed.
WOMAN:
No! No! Please! I'll do anything!
Xiang draws his gun and holds it to the woman. Roland is concerned that this could be a trap... what do we do now? Police warned civilians to stay out of this area... maybe she isn't a civilian. She saw us planting explosives... she saw everything.
Her body fell to the ground in slow motion... I could see the individual drops of blood hit the pavement.
Her body was so still it instantly reminded me of Natalie Steel. Death... nothing but death surrounds me.
