Ryan Rowe and Flynn Hansen heard Evelyn Ford's voice and quickly ducked down. More and more Red Birds were appearing. They craned their long necks and shrieked, their blood-red eyes fixed on Evelyn, looking like they wanted to tear her to shreds.
"I'm their target," Evelyn Ford said. She raised her gun and fired at an approaching Red Bird. The bird slammed heavily onto the road, dozens of feathers detaching from its body and scattering with the flutter of its drooping wings. Evelyn lifted her foot and gave it a hard kick, sending it straight into the abyss.
Ryan Rowe and Flynn Hansen slowly moved toward Evelyn Ford's position. The three men formed a semicircle, shielding Evelyn behind them. Unable to see Evelyn's figure, the Red Birds began to let out an even stranger cry, one that sounded just like a newborn baby's wail.
"WAAH... WAAH..."
