Chapitre 45: 45. Unpleasant memories

She knew guns were loud but this was more than anything. The sound along with the tense atmosphere and the dread just made the sound of the gun seem to amplify a thought and tomes sending another wave of gear through her. The knowledge that he must have shot at Alex who had come to rescue her from this.

Her body trembled as the strength started to leave her.

He fired again and she screamed,

STOP!!" Tears broke loose as she struggled to break free from his hold. "Don't, Please…"

Her sudden outburst seemed to have startled them as even Ace turned to look at her, stunned. Jack's hold on her went loose but only for a second as he regained his composure.

But the little moment of lost focus was all it took for a counter attack. A bullet was fired from whoever Ace had been trying to get and he dropped to the ground, falling backwards with a hole on his head. His blank eyes met hers and her heart nearly dropped to her stomach.
