Victor caught his wife under the knees as the last body hit the road. She weighed the same as she had a second ago. Everything else felt heavier. Tommy tried to step over a broken curb, missed by an inch and had to grab the car beside him to stay up. Sarge slapped a hand to the same car to stop it rocking onto Kai. A few sparks showed under his palm, smaller than Victor would have expected from him.
"Was that her doing before?" Tommy asked, staring at the boot that had caught on the curb. "I thought I'd finally gotten good at this."
"You have," Ivan told him. "You've also been hit in the ass with your own water and put through a fight. Take a breath before you try walking again."
