Hopeful Homicide

As the sound of the thundering noise echoes in the maze, both Siti and I turned to the direction we felt it was coming from.

Another great timing. I feel like the one in charge of the tower's activation in this specific wave is staring at his screen. Looking, waiting. His face is millimeters away from it, only watching the two of us, and is up and ready to activate the tower at the best moment possible.

Siti moved closer to me. We were still bound by my indestructible rope. Both of us have our combat knives in our hands. I also took out a bomb set as a poison gas. When Siti saw me, she copied what I did.

Both of us have the same number of bombs left. Combined, we have six remaining ammunition.

"What is it going to be this time?" she said.
