Chapter - 303
Rick broke cover. He didn't run away; he ran at the hesitant guard on the right. He dropped his rifle—it was useless against the armor anyway—and sprinted, sliding on his knees across the polished floor.
The guard, shaking off the Dread, brought his weapon down, but he was a microsecond too slow.
Rick slid right into the guard's legs, sweeping them out from under him. The armored giant crashed to the floor with a heavy CLANG.
Rick didn't try to punch him. He knew he'd break his hand. Instead, he scrambled onto the guard's chest, straddling him. He grabbed the edges of the guard's helmet with both hands.
"Let's see what you look like!" Rick roared, his muscles straining as he tried to rip the helmet off.
It was locked. Sealed tight.
