Allie's War Season Three (2014)
“I winced when guns went off, watching numbly as a crush of bodies pressed up against the cars, screaming and banging on the outside with everything from bricks to fists to lead pipes.
Revik wrapped an arm around my chest, pulling me deeper against him when a few people in the crowd discharged guns, too.
Most aimed at either the guards on the tower or the driver's side of the car, in the hopes of stopping us, I guess, but the bullets did nothing but ricochet off the reinforced organic plates. I ...saw one of those bounced gunshots hit a woman in the throat. She hunched over, choking, then the crowd swallowed her up again. A group of armed attackers concentrated their fire at the tower and a rain of gunfire came from the guards stationed on top, cutting through the crowd.

Even so, I found myself looking away as more bodies fell.
I tried to tell myself it was a mercy, that most of these people were already contaminated or sick.MoreLess
