Jim was walking past the building without registering what it housed when suddenly shots were fired inside. Nothing like that sound to kick the soldier in him into gear, pilot or not. Drawing his own .45, he pressed himself flat against the wall next to the door and knocked.

Kyla, who was now in her twenty-sixth week of pregnancy, stared at the holes in the doorframe for a moment before she registered someone speaking. She swallowed hard and called out. "Y-Yeah. Everything's... fine."

Kyla held onto her side arm until she realized that it was a man and not machine. She slowly lowered the gun to the counter and released it, though her hand rested close by in case the stranger turned out to be a machine after all.
