  1. Murphy threw herself out of the car and darted to one side. It wasn't hard to figure out why-if she'd started shooting immediately, Molly would have been in the line of any return fire. Murphy moved swiftly, crouched as close to the ground as she could get, but to do so cost her a precious second.
  2. The shotgun roared and spat fire.
  3. The blast smashed Murphy to the ground like a blow from a sledgehammer.
  4. At the sight my scrambled brain congealed. I drew up my will, flung out a hand, and screamed, "Ventas servitas!"
  5. Wind roared forth from my outstretched fingers. I directed it at the snow-covered ground in front of our attackers, and a sudden storm of flying bits of ice and snow engulfed the gunmen.
  6. I kept the pressure on them, maintaining the spell, as I shouted, "Molly! Get to Murphy! Veil and first aid!"

  14. "Her arm is bleeding, Harry," Molly said, her voice shaking. "It's stopping, but I don't think there's anything else I can do."
  15. "Murph, get back to the car. Stay warm."
  16. "Like hell, Harry. I will-"
  17. I completed the sentence for her. "-go into shock. Don't be stupid, Murph. I can't lug your unconscious body around and keep these guys under control."
  18. Murphy growled something vaguely threatening under her breath, but I heard Molly say, "Here, let me help you."
  19. Bart's beady eyes were all but bugging out of his head as he searched for the source of the sound of Molly's voice. "What? What the hell?"
