Last, Best Hope for Humanity: Chapter 6
"No. No. You... you BITCH! You got 'im killed. You fuckin' bitch!" Stella began to run. She heard the unmistakeable clinking of the gun being drawn. Stella ducked into a large access tunnel that led to a much more narrow maintenance tunnel. She ran down the maintenance tunnel and drew the shotgun. Then she crept back towards the opening.
