Tenzin joins Ekaterina at a sprint, pacing every breath with a practiced hoo-hah. “I may need to shoot from the statue to reach her,” he says, giving her a reverent bow of the head as he closes and holds up his gun.
Ekaterina nods to Tenzin. “If you can, aim for the safe and run, but otherwise, da. Do what you have to.”
