Ed asked. “Depends,” Maco said. “If they’re attached to normal breakers, then they would have tripped when the saw shorted them. Either way, just don’t touch them and you’ll be fine.” “What do you mean, either way? What if they’re not hooked up to normal breakers?” “They could reset themselves after a few seconds if no short is detected. Like I said, just don’t touch them and you won’t get shocked. House current rarely ever kills,” Maco said. Ed’s hesitation evaporated when he heard the whine of the small propellers. He looked up and saw a small helicopter drone descending on their position. Ed dove in through the small hole they had cut in the side of the building, pulling himself through with little regard for the singed wires in the wall. “Move, Maco,” he yelled. Ed spun on the floor and reached back through the hole to grab Maco’s hands and pull him through. Maco grunted as the probe hit his leg. The spike jabbed through his pants and into his calf.
