“Stay back! I have one the settlers!” Citra shouts, stepping out of the building slowly, a gun pressed to the young woman’s head. She's half tempted to just shoot the woman right then and there, her cries and pleas grating on the raider’s already short patience, but she knows she can’t hurt her too badly, not if she intends to leave this settlement alive.
Her and a group of twenty raiders from her gang had attacked the settlement and, being completely unaware of the Minutemen’s presence, had found themselves outgunned. All the others had been killed in the resulting firefight, but Citra had managed to seek shelter in one of the houses, where she had discovered the woman and saw her chance of escape.
She stops right outside the door, tightening her grip on the woman in front of her, careful to keep herself mostly concealed behind her in order to avoid being shot. “Let me go and I will give her back unharmed.”
