Bridgehead
“Every time more of the black-and-mottled creatures made the nearby brush thrash, Selve raised his gun with a convulsed expression on his face. Astor’s hand kept him from firing. Though the creatures repeatedly passed in view, despite the close cover, they invariably split to either side of the tree against which the party had backed. The huge spike of that trunk was visible at a distance, and the stampeding animals were prepared even in their panic to avoid it.
Keyliss also had her weapon raise...d. She held its butt an inch away from her shoulder, however, as if to disassociate herself from the gun’s capabilities. The Contact Team was made up of persons with special abilities.

Twenty silent seconds that felt like an hour passed. No further monster forms could be heard stamping closer. “All right, let’s find her,”MoreLess
