Tasha blinked at the question, then laughed.
"No, I don't think so. I'm pretty good with names and faces, and I don't recognize you."
Though like Sarah, she was getting the eerie feeling that she should know the woman she was talking to.

"Huh. Well--"
Before she'd even managed to say anything more, a shot rang out, and Sarah found herself thrown backwards against a wall by an invisible force.
Her shoulder felt like it was on fire.

Tasha screamed as she threw herself to the floor, trying to make herself a less desirable target. She started crawling toward Sarah, who had a very strange and very unnerving expression on her face.
"Oh god...what...oh god..." she muttered, not even realizing she was speaking. It was practically a reflex reaction.

"God save the queen." The voice was male, with a Russian accent, and seemed to come from everywhere at once thanks to the acoustics in the room .

That's what it meant. She'd been shot. It was a sniper. Who would want to kill her? She was harmless. Queen didn't mean anything. She wouldn't have any real power.
"Why..." Sarah managed to squeak out, pain practically choking her off.

Tasha was not equipped to deal with something like this. Okay, yeah, there was that one confrontation with an irate guy in an apartment who yelled at her, but he hadn't pulled a gun out, for god's sake.
Reaching Sarah, Tasha grabbed the other woman and pulled her into a side hallway, where it would be hard to fire at them. There was so much blood that Tasha didn't know what to do. She wouldn't die. It was a dream. She'd be fine.

"Why is money. It's always money." Said a woman who was already sitting crouched in the hallway, her appearance intimidating considering the circumstances. She was also armed.
"There's no personal reason."

Sarah glanced up at the new face, and let out a very strange-sounding giggle.
"Oh, it's Michelle. Hi, Michelle!"
She blanched a moment, still feeling as though her shoulder was on fire.
"Ugh...I mean...okay. Mercenaries."

Tasha glanced from one to the other.
"You...know her?!"
She didn't know what to think at this point.

"I don't," Michelle said, her response strangely without much of an emotional tone.
"I couldn't tell you how she would. I think it's safe to say we don't move in the same circles."
She glanced at the place they'd vacated, then back at Tasha.
"But you should know, he is a sign of things to come."

Ooooh, yeah. I really need to keep that meta-knowledge in check.
She could be really bad about that.
"Oh, great," she said sarcastically. "I get a prophetic dream that might or might not mean that I'm gonna die."

"Well--yeah. I mean, dreams aren't interpreted literally." She said lamely.
She was giving Michelle a strange look. When talking to her, she was quite animated, and talked like a normal person. But when she looked at Sarah it was...it was like she went dull. It was the only way Tasha could describe it.
"I'm sure it means something else completely."

"I need to go. I really shouldn't be here."

It occurred to her that, even if indirectly, she was probably keeping Michelle here in the dream.
"Oh yes. I'm sorry you had to be the bearer of bad news."

There it was again, that weird response, and now Sarah seemed to be acting strangely toward Michelle, too. Tasha didn't know what to make of it.
"Okay."
Shouldn't be here? That was an odd way to phrase it.
