Alien- Stitched with Bullets

The alien sprinted toward them, arms outstretched, tail wavering behind it, ready to strike. Brackett pulled the trigger again and stitched bullets across its chest.

  The creature faltered and fell, blood melting into the floor only feet from the acid-ravaged body of Dr. Hidalgo. As the lift began to ascend, it hissed, whipped around to glare at them with that eyeless carapace of a head, and then lunged to its feet.

  It struck the cage beneath them just as the elevator rose out of range. Before they were lifted out of view, Brackett saw others gliding from the darkness behind it.
