All were confused to see that Skimmy had executed a truly acrobatic dive, grabbing both Jack and Tristan and pushing them back several feet. The rocket exploded, Tristan could feel the heat and was overpowered by the noise, but was not reduced to bits of charred flesh as he had expected to be. Skimmy was fast, Skimmy was twitchy and Skimmy was strong. All these were things Lola had warned her sister about, yet the surviving conjoined twin was the most surprised person in the room. Bark and Chantal had found cover, also being preternaturally fast, so Lila's vengeful gesture lost a good deal of its thunder. Lila should have also expected the vampire she'd been warned about at the beginning of her mission to be right behind her. Lo and behold Chantal was. Instead of decapitating the confused twin, Chantal filled the warehouse with even more noise. "EVERYBODY CALM DOWN AND STOP SHOOTING!"
