For an instant it seems that Veronica will move forward waving the bat, or so Mariana expects. But the gray-eyed girl surprises by bringing a hand behind her back and extending to the front the nail gun. She fires three shots.

The Hispanic, having overcome the initial surprise, deduces the nail trajectory and makes a graceful turn to the right, none of the projectiles hits her.
