The can slides smoothly from the holster and all it takes is a thumb flick to disengage the safety, tighten your grip around the lever-trigger, and aim for the big target she's presented for you...
You remember 'Spray-Day' at the academy. A brick building with no windows and nothing but that burning mist. You'll never forget it, but you'll also never forget what the instructor told you after.
"If you think that was bad, that was our aerosolized spray that's being phased out, our new sprays are going to be pepper GEL. That means more range, more contact, and more pain. So before you use this, remember what you felt today and then up it by two."
A gel. That means you don't even need to wait for her to get too close. But with the speed she's moving you won't need to wait long, so instead you angle your wrist up and watch that arc of pepper red gel fly forth to meet her. Well, more so she meets it. You hear a wet slap as she collides with it like an SUV would a juicy bug, the gasp and choking sounds she releases make it clear that you're aim was on point. Her flight fails her or maybe she drops it and she drops to her hands and knees gagging and spluttering as her hands claw at her face.
You're starting to approach when you hear her sniffle violently, the spray bringing out every fluid the human face and produce, and as it goes down her throat in flecks she looks up to you... and coughs.
Ears ringing. Heels of your shoes dragging. Then your back hits the ground knocking the wind out of you. Then your head connects with stone and you FEEL the crunch of bone bruising. Then your legs fly past your shoulders as you're lifted once more. Then your knees slam into the ground as you desperately paw at those few jutting stones just so you can stay on all fours... An invisible force that covers your entire body throws you violently as you experience all of that in under two seconds.
"Fuck..." You gasp, at least you think. You can't hear anything but your own heartbeat.
