Chapter 34: Trap, Part 3

The door behind her crashed open and the driver sprang into the room. The sight of a young girl in a bloody dress didn't slow him down. He slashed a kick at her head that would have killed her had it landed, but Lizzy dropped underneath it and cut deep into his femoral artery. Then to be on the safe side she stabbed him a few more times.

An arm came around her throat, cutting off her wind and lifting her feet from the floor. It didn't matter what she hit with her knives; the arm wouldn't loosen. Finally she twisted and stabbed over her head. The broken rib moved and she shrieked with the pain, but the arm let go. She looked into Molloy's mad eyes and stabbed both knives straight through his eyes to his brain. He fell twitching to the bloody floor. Just to be sure, she stabbed the driver through the eyes as well.

Then she sat in the middle of the room and clutched her ribs.
