Serena was frozen in fear for a few seconds as she watched her husband being held up in the air and shoved against the wall of the sewer tunnel.
However, when she heard what the man hidden by active camouflage was saying, she knew that she had to do something.
'I already killed one person today. I have to do this to protect both of us.' Serena thought, steeling her resolve.
Though she was shaking, she pulled out the laser pistol that Urs had loaned her and fired at the space in front of her husband that may have looked empty, but there was undoubtedly someone there.
There was a bright flash from the muzzle of the gun, and the red light of the laser struck against the man restraining Robert.
Unfortunately, the stealth power armor he was wearing had tough enough plating to deflect the blow.
It did disable the camouflage and reveal the person wearing a set of pitch-black power armor, that in the current situation and location looked quite sinister.
