Chapter eleven
The area in front of the restaurant, which was a decently high end place, ran with Human blood after a few moments. There was really nothing else that could have happened, given how the police and FBI had come in firing their weapons at the innocent people standing there. The victims of a government murder plot, who had managed to get the main conspirator out of the attempt alive. In fact theyâd gotten all the attackers out that way.
Not that it worked past the new engagement with the police.
Avery sighed, then moved behind the low wall that ran around the edge of the flat roof. One of the FBI men spoke softly, high voice strained.
âWhatâs going on?â He sounded worried, which made a lot of sense.
Between the accurate shots Avery was taking, hitting uniformed people in the back of the neck, since they were too busy to understand why they were dying at the moment, she tried to explain it all.
âYour people tried to kill mine. It isnât working. Youâve probably just started a war. One thatâ¦â She sighed, glancing at the world below her. Several government fighters had hidden behind cars, as if Bey and Lars werenât going to simply walk up and tip the things over on them. She did her part, killing one of the remaining attackers every minute or so.
She shook her head once she had a chance, then tried to recall what sheâd been about to say.
âRight. We donât have the numbers to win a war with you Humans. The thing is, weâre pretty much going to win every battle. Right now Iâd guess that out of the fifty or so FBI and police down there, eighty percent of them are dead. Dying at least. On the good peopleâs sideâ¦â She looked and noticed that Lang wasnât there. A white wolf was however, which ran around behind the cars, nearly getting shot as she tried to tear out a manâs throat.
Shooting the gunman in time took some skill, but Avery had practiced for that kind of thing a lot. Even with people shooting back. That meant she did a better job holding her position while three of the remaining five or so officers tried for her. One of the sitting FBI prisoners was hit in the head while the fighting went on. Thankfully that was one of the two that hadnât been ordered to kill Bey. Glancing over it was kind of clear that the man wasnât that badly injured or anything. True, he bled all over the place, a red curtain running over the side of his head. That smelled warm and coppery, which wasnât a problem for her.
The flashbacks to having killed her clan did, again, but Avery didnât allow herself to become distracted. Shooting as the others tipped police cars and trucks, or did other, equally lethal things. Except Eric. He was cleverly hiding behind a vehicle near the restaurant. Talking on his cell phone. To whom Avery couldnât work out. Probably his own people.
