She stared at the scene playing out before her, and for a moment, Nina thought she could just let one man kill the other. Nina closed her eyes, because she knew what it was like to feel powerless. So she kicked her cage door hard. Maybe it would get her shot - maybe the man with the gun was not actually a rescuer, but something worse.

It didn't matter, really, as long as he could get her out of the cage. As long as he had no idea who or what she was. She could already hear sirens, and the last thing she wanted was for anyone to pay close attention to her in a hospital, or to ask her questions.

She needed to get out of here.
