Metal Panic

Quaking. Dizzy. Bright lights. Deep bass. Nadia stumbled through the strip club into the bathroom. Bar light humming. A fly buzzing. Blue tilled walls. Linoleum floor. Spinning.

Nadia breathing quickly. Lost in her mind. Heart bursting. It was really happening. Her hands shaking – she went into the bathroom stall. She put the toilet seat down and sat. Rummaging in her purse. Where is it? Where is it?

Metal. Cold. She removed the small black pistol. SIG Sauer. She couldn’t back down. This gun had been her idea. It was light. Loaded. Xiao Mei. Hugo. Katherine. She had to protect them all.

She pulled out her phone. Katherine.
