I huddled behind my makeshift barrier, my heart beating like a terrified bird trapped in a cage. A siren call to the creatures which had haunted so many of my nightmares.

I smiled grimly as I recalled my gran’s words of encouragement when I’d been a child. I could only hope that third time wasn’t the charm for the predators… but I could see no way out. No hope of rescue or…

I shook my head, scattering such thoughts, and loaded the shotgun – Vera. I’d take some of the bastards with me, even if I’d break my promise to Becker.

Meep! Although I wouldn't bet against Lester and Vera!

Sorry, the prompt just demanded this fic.

Well... Lester + Vera are awesome so... maybe...

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

You can do it Lester.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester is pleased you know to be confident in his abilities... he still wishes he was elsewhere.

Thanks for reading.

Definitely eek.

Thanks for reading.

*g* I'll be willing to bet that Becker would be right at his shoulder if he could.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Becker would... although he'd prefer it that Lester wasn't in this situation.

Thanks for reading.

*weeps*
Still not over, Lester! Rescue might be right around the corner!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester's alive so it is definitely not over.

Thanks for reading.

even if I’d break my promise to Becker.

No, you won't, James. It's not your time yet.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James hopes he won't be breaking his promise too.

He also hopes it isn't his time.

Thanks for reading.

Taking some of them with him sounds like a good plan. But staying alive is a better one.

Lester agrees 120%

Thanks for reading.
