Her lips peeled back, revealing bloodstained teeth and blackened gums. Her jaw opened as if she could no longer stifle a ferocious yawn. She lunged toward his throat. He sidestepped to get the jacket tighter around her, pinning her arms.What the hell? I got up to assist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe struggled against him, still trying to get at his neck. Mr. Laraby spun behind her, wrapping his arms low around the jacket and her chest. When she could not get anywhere close to his neck, she bent forward to snap at his arms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI could smell blood and dirt, mixed with urine and feces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMr. Laraby picked her up and took a couple steps toward the diner. Her whole body thrashed. He lost his grip and dropped her. As soon as her feet hit the pavement she spun around, shrugged off the jacket and lashed at him. Mr. Laraby tripped backwards, his ass hitting hard on the pavement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe settled on his chest with uncanny speed, forcing him onto his back. Grabbing handfuls of his graying hair, she plunged her mouth toward his left shoulder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A pistol shot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe bullet ripped through the girl's shoulder. She twisted off Mr. Laraby and rolled into a coiled crouch. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA uniformed man ran up, a smoking Beretta M9 in his right hand. He kicked a steel-toed black work boot across her jaw. It cracked and hung askew, still producing a horrible humming sound. She readied to pounce on the officer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e That thought was fleeting as a second pistol shot blew brain matter and skull fragments out the back of her head.","brand":"Charles Ingersoll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45503371116695,"sku":"9780991470204","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780991470204.webp?v=1767162344","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/day-zero-9780991470204","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
