Ambai tightly hugged Nyx waiting for the end to near. She could feel the barrel pushing through the inflated air bag, reaching for them.
She hurriedly tried to call Rebus but her shaking hands dropped it accidentally.
'Shit... I can't just die without saying goodbye. That is just mean.'
She glanced up to face the barrel that was right in front of her
She caught the long snout of the gun and raised it to the roof of the car. 'Yeah, try shooting now, sucker..'
The only disadvantage of having a shotgun was its long snout. In short range, it doesn't work that well.
Ambai struggled with the assailant, pulling the gun's barrel.
A shot rang out.
"Nyx you okay?"
"I'm okay. What about you!"
"I'm fine, this person is not that strong. Come pull this," she urged her.
Nyx sat up and started to pull at the gun.
Their desperate struggle worked. They managed to pull the gun away. "Now let's shoot!"
