The sudden pressure on her back a split second before total darkness engulfed her led Amy to realize that Arex had attacked her while she had her back turned to him. Almost simultaneously, three bullets hit her—one to the back of each knee, and the last one right above her neck. Such force took her down almost instantaneously, that and the fact that her armor had just become 10 times heavier. 

"Arex!" Her voice echoed off the walls after he'd warned her to stay away from her father. But how could she? And why would she trust him now after he'd nearly killed her? Not too surprisingly, she was met with only silence.

Amy lay on the ground for a few minutes unable to move, the pain she felt on numerous parts of her body not helping any. But the one nagging thought about her father prevented her from doing nothing as she waited for help. With one shaky hand, Amy pressed a button on the side of her armor and was finally able to break free from its confinement. She struggled to get up, but eventually she was on her feet again, this time wearing a simple black tank top, matching below-the-knee leggings, and white socks. She took a few steps forward to find the wall when she heard some footsteps approaching. Amy couldn't help but tense up, thinking that maybe Arex was back to kill her for good.
