The only sound in the dim hallway was the ragged echo of our breathing. I had you pressed against the unyielding floor, my body a barrier between you and the world. My heel ground down on the attacker's wrist, pinning the knife he'd held. The cold steel of my gun met his temple. "Tell me," I whispered, the words dropping into the stillness like stones.

That means I can't let you leave at all. Goodnight." The report was deafening in the confined space. As the silence rushed back in, thick and heavy, I finally turned to you. My eyes were still blazing, the protective rage not yet banked.
