It was the cashier, and he'd finally succeeded in dialing the phone, but he ducked out of sight before the...whatever it was could take notice of him. Echo felt the muscles in her back and shoulders tighten and bunch, and please God don't let there be fur sprouting underneath her clothes. If she changed here, she'd be either in police custody or in a rubber room in the psych ward before she could turn around. The Wolf snarled inside her skull.
She grabbed for the rebar, picked it up with her left hand even as the sound of the other brunette's moan reverberated, and she brought it down on the closest thing she could reach, the thing's left foot. It was a blow meant to distract rather than truly injure, and if she applied perhaps more force than she would have on a normal human, who was to say?
"I don't know what you are," she said, and her voice was thicker than ever, as if she had mud in her mouth. Enemy. Enemy. Enemy. The word was like her pulse, and she wanted to take this piece of metal and stab it through the unnatural thing with all of her strength. To see if whatever it was would bleed.
