Alien- Ducking Adams' Fire

  Four of the dark forms came in fast, barely even making a sound except for the skitter of their nails on the hard-packed soil and rocks. Adams opened fire while they were still a dozen yards away, and let out a grunt each time she pulled the trigger. Four little sounds from her, four loud booms from her weapon, and two of the creatures exploded.

  The other two were better at ducking.

  One of them leaped through the air, bounced off the wall and plowed into a dark-haired man who was already firing at another shape coming his way.
