Brian was supposed to meet Taylor here. If she holds out, there’s a chance she’ll receive backup.
I do think she can win this without him, though. She beat Rachel!
She started toward me, and I had a good sense of how this would go. She was my height, but she was a [sic] stronger than me, with more room for muscle on her frame. Not that she was fat, or heavy in any way, but her physique was athletic, slender, and mine was that of a scarecrow – just plain thin.
I guess she does have an advantage here, but didn’t Rachel have a physical advantage too?
There was also the broader context – I was already hurting, and she was fucking psycho. If it came down to it, I suspected I’d get the worst of it in the fight, unless I either found a way to get to my weapons in my bag or used my powers. That didn’t mean I wouldn’t be able to do some damage to her in the meantime, it just meant she’d kick my ass in the process.
Not a particularly positive prognosis, perhaps.
