"If you see Kinley, remember that she is way more dangerous than any man with any guns," Serenica reminded her troops.

"If we can put an additional hole in her, that means she is just as mortal as we are."

"I'd put that thing down if -" Serenica remembered the thing about not waiting to shoot.
She shot the woman in the head without any prior warning.
