Fallout Quotes

“He pressed a finger to her carotid and swore.
She was dead.
His target.
Dead.
Not on his watch was she gonna stay that way.
“You’re not dying today, lady.” He grabbed the switchblade knife from his jean’s back pocket, flicked it open, then cut down the front of her sweater.

“Horns blared and tires squalled, then Avery collided with a bumper and went down. Her breaths reverberated in her ears as she all but kissed the cool cement, trying to get her bearings. She had no time to be dizzy, no time to be weak—no time to be in pain!

Another horn blared.
Avery pushed up her knees, trembling. She wasn’t ready for this.”
