The Predator Hunters And Hunted 71

 "All he knew for certain was that the damned thing was ignoring him for a few more seconds. That was all the time he needed. Three steps closer and the creature turned, looking down at him. He'd have preferred to hit it from behind. From four feet away he unloaded the sheriff's SIG Sauer P226 into the alien's chest. It staggered backward, eyes closed in pain as bullet after bullet tore through
the meat and bone and exited through the back of the damned beast. It should have dropped. It should have died. The blades came around in a savage arc and though he tried, Hyde couldn't elude them. He was simply too close. Jermaine Hyde went down hard. Only the certainty that he had killed the alien would help him into whatever afterlife might have awaited."pg.287 chpt.28
