FIFTY-FOUR

A SHOT IN THE DARK

Brigit

Brigit had been hoping Megan would issue the order for her to take the man down. She’d felt cheated last week when the guy she’d been chasing fell down on his own.

When she was at just the right distance, she bent her legs in motion and sprang from the ground. She saw a bright light flash and, at the same time, felt something hot and hard enter her chest. She also heard a loud noise that hurt her furry ears. BANG!

She wasn’t sure what had just happened, and she didn’t feel right. But she was going to finish her job. She wasn’t going to let Megan down.
