Nina Jacobs had actually let him go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Abbott, what are you doing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following two screams, the others realized that Leo Abbott, the one with the gun, seemed to have gone mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t hit her! I can’t hit her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s over there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Abbott shouted, firing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nina Jacobs’s figure was like a phantom, appearing and disappearing on the dimly lit grandstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Speed Element Superpower User?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seth Quinn wasn’t sure.

So pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t even last that long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs looked down from above at the gruesome scene below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go!
