She snarled an oath, and then opened the door before she started to swing down.
I moved out of the way quickly as the door swung open.
She stepped down onto the step and jumped the short distance to the ground before stomping her way towards her car.
I caught up to her half way to her car. Since I wasonly yards away from my bike, I grabbed hold of her arm and swung her towards me.
“Hey,” I growled. “Ride with me.”
She yanked her arm from my grasp, and the bracelet she was wearing slipped off her hand and swung in an arc to the ground, two cars away.
We both walked towards it at the same time, bending down and bumped our heads.
It was the comical way, where both parties bang their heads, and then fall over onto their asses.
The next five seconds played as expected.
We both started laughing, and when I moved to help her stand, bullets started hitting the car we were parked behind, peppering it like one would with a paintball gun.
Instinctively, I tackled Channing to the ground, and started rolling.
I kept rolling through the gap in the tires of the truck we’d been standing beside until I couldn’t roll anymore.
Then I crouched over her, extracted my Glock from my ankle holster and handed it to her.
She was laying on her back, staring up at me in fear.
“Here,” I said as I shoved the gun into her hand. “You know how to work that?”
I asked the question without looking at her, knowing that she did, but wanting confirmation.
“Yes,” she said. “One in the chamber?”
“Yes,” I whispered, once the shooting stopped.
The night air was still as I reached for the .45 that was at the small of my back and extracting it.
“What...” I placed my hand over her mouth, silencing whatever she was about to say.
She froze, looking at me with fearful eyes. She nodded silently and I removed my hand from her mouth before taking another look around.
The part of the parking lot we were in was near the back of the lot where the lighting was worst. Which was why I didn’t see the gunmen coming until he already had his rifle up and shooting.
Burning fire exploded in my right arm, making my grip on my .45 loosen until it fell uselessly to the ground.
That didn’t stop Channing, though.
She raised her arm up, pointing upside down at the man, and squeezed the trigger. The gun exploded beside my ear, momentarily stealing my ability to hear.
It didn’t fuck with my vision, though.
I saw the man drop like a house of cards.
The phone in my pocket started buzzing, and I quickly withdrew it with my uninjured hand.
“Rector,” I barked.
“Status?” Trance asked in alarm.
