Those creatures, or rather, his brothers, are extremely fast and agile. He would be putting Abby and himself in harm's way by releasing a couple of bullets their way.

Abby stumbled to the cockpit, and from the windshield, she could see Robert's aircrafts disappearing into the horizon. Her heart was heavy; she had just lost her two sisters and her family.
