《DEAD IN BED By Bailey Simms: The Complete First Book》PART 5, SECTION 11

I couldn't believe how much blood had already gathered around Bryce. It had collected in a wide pool and was dripping off the porch.
Ian held his gun firmly trained at Shawn's head.
"You haven't tested anyone, Shawn," he said. "You're not following protocol. Put your gun down. Stop right now."
Shawn didn't put his gun down.
Instead, he pointed it directly at my face.
"New rules." Shawn's gun was inches from my forehead. "Where have you been, Ian? We're out of Insta-Reads. Until the next shipment comes in, it's up to our discretion to expire or arrest." He repeated this phrase like he was reading it from a manual, never taking the gun from my face.
A deafening boom.
Someone had fired their gun.
It couldn't have been Shawn, because when I opened my eyes I was still standing.
My husband was clutching his right hand. He was no longer holding his gun. Ian had shot it from his hand, puncturing his palm in the process.
Shawn screamed out in surprise and pain, staring hatefully at Ian.
"Do not point a gun at Ashley," Ian said flatly, keeping his own gun pointed at Shawn.
I heard my mom screaming from inside the living room as she banged open the screen door and hurried toward Shawn, shrieking.
"He wasn't going to shoot her, Ian!" She completely ignored Bryce and tried to wrap a dishcloth around Shawn's bleeding hand. "He was just doing his job. Somebody has to do their job around here!"
My mom seemed to be losing her mind. Shawn just let her wrap his hand.
"You want a warrant?" Shawn yelled at Ian, staggering in pain toward his truck. "You stay right here. You all stay right on these premises!" he yelled. "There's no doubt I'll get a warrant for him and Ashley both after what I've seen here." Shawn jerked his head toward Bryce, who was gasping and clutching at his stomach. "He'll live," he said. "That stomach wound won't do anything. When I come back with the squad, we're taking both of them in." He looked at Lindsay, bent over Bryce, her knees soaking with his blood. "And you too!" he screamed. "Nobody cleared you to leave the motel!" Now he turned to Ian. "And you most of all! Shooting a Home Guard soldier? Are you crazy? You can kiss your cushy rank goodbye, Ian. Say hello to a court marshal. Just wait. Just wait! Nobody leaves these premises!"

Shawn jerked away from my mom, who was still trying to tie the dishcloth, and he hobbled into his truck.
He sped away in a storm of dust.
Ian said, "We have to go. Now. All of us."

All resources were exhausted, and hope was all lost. When three-player chess that will decide the lives of billions of people was at its zenith, a portal appeared in the sky. Monsters, bigger than the biggest animal, harder than the hardest metal poured out of the abyss... Putting aside their differences, humanity united to fight against their common enemy. But the weapons were ineffective. The most powerful weapons of science could not do even the slightest bit of damage to monsters. While desperation reigned, science prevailed, and laser weapons were born. The first blood was spilled... The first monster was killed! However, it wasn't laser weapons that allowed humanity to win the war, but a piece of orb found in the monster's brain. When supplied with electricity, the orbs would turn into pre-determined objects. These orbs turned into weapons that could damage monsters, and the more monsters were killed, the more weapons were found. With the newly looted weapons and the determination of humanity to get rid of this disease, the monsters were pushed back. At that moment, a messenger flew from the portal in his radiant form. An Artificial Intelligence produced by the native race living in the Portal World... Called Mother AI by humans, this object used the miracles of the alien world to help humanity close the portal. With these miracles, humans awakened superpowers to fight against monsters. An unfortunate teenager, Miles Cross, was born with dormant Ancient Genes and failed to awaken his superpower. Instead, he used every means to get stronger...
