The windows cracked, a heavy gush of rainwater pouring in.
Immediately, I pulled on the doorhandle.
The door wouldn’t open.

Okay, breathe. Break the windows. None of you are drowning in here.
Everyone had the same idea, attacking the glass with whatever they had. I used Tidal Pull, blowing out every window.

We climbed out into the rain, the weight of the deluge like taking punches, complete with an extra icy bite.
Oof!
I immediately searched for his face, his body, anything. I kept my mouth closed as much as possible. Didn’t want too much ofhiswater getting into my system.
I heard laughter, a figure forming in the curtain of rain, followed by four more.

Drake and Jake took position beside us, guns drawn.
“Ready?” I muttered to my brother, only opening my mouth a little.
“On the count of three.”
Good to know we were on the same page.
Three.
Two.
One.
I took on one watery uncle while he went after another. Drake and Jake got to shooting the others.
