"Give me the gun, Ed."
Cade dropped the clip and cleared the chamber, caught the ejected round, and
handed the gun to her, which she tossed on the concrete pavement.
Twin beams lanced from her eyes and the gun glowed a dull red almost
instantly. Flames and acrid smoke billowed out of it as the lubricants and
plastics burned away, and suddenly the gun's outline glowed yellow, then almost
white before it collapsed and became a bright puddle.
The puddle spread itself like water on the concrete, then solidified quickly
after she turned off her heat vision.
"Mandi," said Cade, staring at the smoking puddle, "That was truly
impressive. Will I be able to do that?"
Ignoring his question, Mandi said, "Now the bullets," again holding out her
hand.
Thumbing the loose round into the top of the magazine, Cade dropped the mag
in his jacket pocket as he said, "No point in wasting ammo. Carter uses a nine
millimeter. So do some of the others."
They heard sirens approaching and saw red and blue lights flashingly reflect
off the sides of buildings at the end of the alleyway as two cop cars sped past
the entrance.
