She was moving on pure adrenaline. she had a funny suffocating feeling in the pit of her stomach. She did not look back at the woman or the men she had just killed. she walked out the open door into the hall. she walked quickly to the top of the stairs and listened to hear if anyone was coming. The killing had begun.
