As the words left the tiny doctor's mouth all three heard a loud crack and light filled the entry of the store as Erica tore open the roof. While Beth had some cover and Steve was too small to see, Debbie was exposed and out in the open. Right now she felt like a bug that had just had it's stone over turned. High above the large frame of Erica eclipsed the sun light and stared daggers at a frozen Debbie. If looks could kill Debbie would have already been dead.
"Debbie run!" Steve shouted at his wife. But it was no use. Debbie was in shock and didn't move an inch.
As Erica's mighty hand descended towards the spot Debbie occupied Steve he had no choice. They had to fire the incomplete and untested ray right now.
"Beth! Open fire!" Steve shouted towards his trembling lab assistant.
"But, but, but... what about Debbie?" Beth spat.
"Trust me Beth. This is the only way to save her. You have to fire."
Beth never one who reacted well to pressure and shouting was torn. She trusted Steve and knew his intellect far exceeded hers. But what if she missed and Erica grabbed Debbie anyway. Beth thought if she ran out now she could reach the older woman and bring her to safety. But then Beth risked being caught in the giant cannibal's grasp. As all these thoughts ran through Beth's head in the background Steve continued to shout.
"Fire the ray Beth!"
