Bullets shred concrete.
Sparks spray across the tunnel walls.
Russ grabs Hannah instantly, dragging her toward cover while Lucas and Miles return fire.
Gabriel moves in the opposite direction.
Flanking.
He knows this kind of fight.
Too well.
I slam Wu harder into the wall.
“Who is she?”
Wu’s calm finally cracks.
Just slightly.
“A mistake.”
The woman hears him.
Her laugh cuts through the gunfire like broken glass.
“A mistake?” she yells back. “That’s what you called all of us!”
All of us.
Hannah goes rigid beside Russ.
Oh God.
Not just Hannah.
There were others.
Wu sees Hannah’s reaction immediately.
Damn him.
He uses everything.
“She wasn’t stable,” Wu says coldly.
The woman steps out again, firing another burst.
“You electrocuted children!”
The tunnel goes silent for half a heartbeat.
Even the gunfire seems to stagger.
Hannah physically recoils beside Russ.
No.
