Summary
The last deviant doesn’t look at Connor at first. It’s slumped against the display counter, staring straight ahead at nothing in particular. The size of the blue puddle gathering on the floor indicates impending, unavoidable deactivation.
Connor’s aim is right between those brilliant, mismatched eyes.
He knows this model of handguns intimately. It was the first weapon that was placed into his hand when he was fresh from the assembly line and ready for quality testing. There was a slight inconsistency in their line of fire. The bullet always arcs out of control by a small margin. Never perfectly centered, hitting just to the left of the target every time.
He’s learned to work around the margin of error.
It doesn’t matter at this incredibly close range. If he takes the shot, destruction is assured.
“Thousands of our people died today.” Quiet despair fills Markus's voice. “What difference does one more make?”
He just needs a single moment to be entirely in control of himself.
A single moment of control.
The trigger clicks under his finger.Series
