Undone

Chapter 10. Demons

Claudia rose from the floor, wiping her eyes. Pete, Myka, Artie - they all needed her. She saw purple light reflecting on the no longer rusty ceiling of the warehouse.

"Teslas," she mumbled. Someone was in trouble. Claudia raced towards the lights, cutting through aisles, careful not to bump into shelves. Instead, she bumped into Artie.

"Will you watch where you're going you insufferable child?" he grumbled, picking himself of the floor. "Now, did you capture Sykes?"

"Uh... Kinda..." Claudia avoided Artie's gaze. "MacPherson?"

"Yes, I dealt with him- wait what do you mean 'kinda'?" He stared at Claudia, trying to get her to talk.

"I'll explain later. Something's going down with Pete and Myka," Claudia said.

"I expect a full statement later, Agent Donovan," Artie said sternly. They then took off towards the lights.

...

Pete ran towards the gooery, feet smacking the concrete.

"Duck!" screamed Myka. Pete hit the floor as she shot a bolt from her tesla at McCarthy. "Clear!" she shouted. Pete got up, he was 5 feet away... 4... 3... 2... he dropped the watch in the purple goo. The warehouse stopped getting cleaner. Patches of rust remained on the ceiling. Pete turned to smile at his partner, only to be shot with McCarthy's tesla. He fell to the floor, unconscious.

Myka rose from behind her shelf of artifacts, tesla pointed in front of her. "Alright, McCarthy! You got him! Come out now with your arms raised!"

"Well, that's a big tickle, sweetheart! But I think I'm fine over here. Maybe you could come and see me, wouldn't that-" Myka heard a loud thump.

"We officially have 3 unconscious baddies in the Warehouse," called Claudia. Myka walked into the open.

"And 3 women who have died here are wandering around in it," she replied. They looked at each other.

"Well," smiled Artie. "Let's get to work."
