[i]The grenade didn't explode, and no bullet came flying for the alien as she dove for cover. Instead, a second grenade rattled on over, landing on her other side to box her in evenly between the explosives. This one had the pin pulled. 

Then the bullet came. It blasted out from beneath the glare as the flashlight was raised slightly. The bullet would impact the grenade to her left as the one on her other side went off, having apparently been cooked long enough for the two detonations to coincide. Unless Noxx's shield kicked in again, she'd be reduced to a pile of organic matter suitable for filling Taco Bell burritos with.
