“Stay back, I said!” Rico aimed again.
“Shoot it!” Someone shouted.
That’s what Rico did. He realized no amount of preparation could guarantee how an officer of the law would react in a high-risk situation. Rico reacted the exact way he had always thought he would, but the results were far different than he thought possible.
Panicked cries resonated off of the walls with the blast of his pistol. The ping of brass casings rang against the hard floor between booms. Rico was determined to keep firing until the thing walked no more.
Click, click, click…
At least the barrage of bullets had managed to knock the creature to the ground again, but that was all. It wasn’t alive, it was dead. And in death, it was more dangerous than if alive. It rose to its feet to finish its prey.
Rico’s hands trembled as he fumbled to find a full clip. He hit the release on the grip, and the spent clip clanged to the floor. Drunk, confused, and in mild shock, it took him three tries before the clip slipped in. He yanked back the slide and chambered the first bullet.
