Could use the Wretch as a surprise attack

"I've been really nice," Imp said. "I could have humiliated you. Instead, I'm sticking to nonlethal weapons and careful use of fire."


"Uh huh."


"Stay where you are," she said, keeping the pistol on me.


I could use the Wretch, I knew. It had reach, it was invisible, and if it got her, it would pull her in close and tear her to pieces.


Except I didn't want to be that kind of person, and the computer by my feet was in the Wretch's reach too. I could trust an invisible hand to probably seize her outstretched hand, but I couldn't trust anything else.
