Ellie's quick, and she's always had great aim. The bottle flies base-first just beyond the bomb, and Ellie ducks down before it goes off, covering her ears.

The force of the explosion of fire is incredible, and the impact creates a chain reaction that sets off the bomb. Whatever the flying shrapnel doesn't finish off, the fire does.

The air's filled with high, terrible animal screaming as the men slump down and die. Were she younger, Ellie would keep covering her ears to block out the screaming, but this time she knows they just have to get away. Before everything settles and all the fire's out, she's up and ready to follow, looking pale but determined, gun back in her hands.

The screams are still all around them.
