She is scared. Fang has always been her knight in shining armor, right-hand man, her other half, he'd always been able to take care of anything she threw his way. However, before it had always been a problem that she knew he could handle. Take down a pack of Erasers? No problem. Make a super-quick getaway? Piece of cake. Take on a bird-kid who is genetically altered to never lose? A bird-kid who is stronger, faster, and did she mention genetically altered to never lose? Now that just might be a problem.
If something happens to him she has no idea what she will do. She has had a brief glimpse of what it feels like to be without him, to think him dead, and that glimpse is more than enough for her to know that she can't deal with it again. She just can't.
Maybe calling him was the wrong thing to do. Maybe she just should have suffered through it in silence; surely she had known that he would react like this? She'd spent her whole life with the boy, she knew him better than anyone. There's no way that she hadn't known how he would react. No way.
Anything that happens to him from here on will be because of her. If he dies, it will be because of, and for her. She is sobbing again.
The gun is not hard to find. Even after all these years he still remembers putting it there as though it was yesterday. The coat closet, second floorboard, the one with two nails holding it down. The one that was easiest to take out. He had put it there for protection, back when Eraser attacks were still a threat. He had never used it, but he had always made sure he knew how. He figured it would come in handy one day. That day has come.
The boy now has a plan, a loaded gun, and an advantage. Dylan has no idea that he is here. Well, he will find out soon enough. Sooner, rather than later, Dylan will die. Max will be his, and Maya, along with Dylan will become just another distant memory.
