Chapter Seven
There had been many moments in the Notches’ short careers that felt utterly hopeless. When they were swarmed by ShimVens on various occasions. When they were swallowed by the queen bug. When Joel dangled outside the ship, fully expecting to die. When they were surrounded by Rapoo.
This was one of those moments. Reggie was concussed and barely standing. The super rats were pouring in from overhead. Sam was without her sword. They were locked in the room with their most vindictive opponent yet.
But, like those other moments, though it may feel like the end, this was far from it. Sam may have been without her sword, but she was a master of most weapons, a killer. Reggie may not have been able to stand, but his blaster still worked.
A plus B equaled problem solved.
