The hunter who saw the girl didn't slow down.
It closed the distance in a single burst of movement, its body low as it lunged. The woman barely had time to scream before it hit her, the impact driving her straight into the pavement.
Her body jerked under the force as the creature pinned her down, its limbs locking her in place before she could even twist away. Her hands clawed at the ground, trying to push herself up, but it didn't matter.
It was already on her.
Her scream tore through the air, sharp and desperate, cutting through the noise of gunfire and engines. It didn't last long.
The hunter tore into her, ripping through flesh with brutal force. Blood spread across the concrete, dark and thick, pooling beneath her as the creature worked.
Inside the LC300, Jayson froze.
"…Jesus Christ," he whispered.
The driver didn't look back.
He just pressed harder on the accelerator.
"Go! Go!" Jayson snapped, snapping out of it. "While it's distracted!"
The wheels finally caught.
