She’d never seen anyone move so quickly.
Marika gasped in the back of her throat as Altav got between her and the other guy in a heartbeat. She didn’t understand the language as the two behemoths snarled at each other, but the expressions on their faces said it all. The other guy wanted to kill her, and Altav was stopping him.
Her heart pounded in her ears as she pressed herself further back against the packing cases. The gap she’d hidden the gun in was tiny, but if she could have crammed herself in there, she would have. However, even as skinny and underweight as she was, she’d never have fit in there.
Keeping her arms raised, she tried to cover them both with the big gun. Her hands ached and her arms shook, but she didn’t dare lower it. Not with how quickly she’d just seen Altav move.
