With the Deathclaws as close as they were ever likely to get, Stephen did not have the luxury of giving Nikola more time. "Keep that ass moving, Nikola!" he yelled. "Rhea, close!" This was the last warning anyone would get. Yanking the pin out of the grenade, he waited half a second before throwing it between the two irradiated beasts. As soon as it hit the ground, he grabbed another, once more removing the pin and lobbing it at the Deathclaws. That was all he had time for. With the grenades set to explode in the next couple of seconds, he whirled on his heel and bolted for the library, Rhea well ahead of him.
