Carmelita's eyes

Carmelita's eyes. They're purple.

I think...it actually worked. The potion got to her.

She begins lifting her shock pistol. I've been shocked by it before, but never a close-up to the head. She charges it to the maximum. From my time with her I know what pre-full blast sounds like.

I begin crying, and I prepare to tightly close my eyes and wait for it to be over. But she then turns her gun on Mz Ruby.

Not believing my eyes, I have no comment.

Because Mz. Ruby is shocked, the trance she's put the guards in seems to be wearing off. But it's not fully out. Mz. Ruby is still standing. Carmelita's about to zap again when Larson Barkley sneaks behind her and whacks her in the head with his baton. He manages to hit her so hard, she can't stand up and she drops her pistol.

"No!" I yell. "You'll pay for that!"

"I'm very disappointed in you, young Carmelita," says old James, completely ignoring my pleas to leave her alone. "I gave you a chance and you wasted it. You threw all your credibility right out the door."

Mz Ruby's back to having her power in control. The guards have their grip back before I could do anything.

"Leave her alone or I'll-" I pant, terrified of what they could do. This finally gets their attention.
