As we’re walking by a café, I hear a couple of distinct pops and then grunts.
Pulling Wildcat close to my side, Dragon’s instantly on her other side, both of us shielding her as we quickly run toward the nearest car.
More shots ring out, and then my shoulders on fire.
“Fuck!”
A quick glance shows blood trailing down my arm but at least it isn’t at an alarming rate.
“Thor!” Levi calls out.
“Fuck, get down, Wildcat!”
I pull my gun as I scan the rooftops. Screams erupt from other people as they duck for cover as more shots are fired.
“Stay down, Spitfire.”
“But you’re both shot! Shit, so is Ethan!”
I pivot toward Dragon and see he’s been shot in the leg. Ethan is behind the car next to ours and it looks like his arm’s been shot. Shit.
“Where’s the fucker at? I don’t see him,” Ryder hisses as he peaks through the car windows.
Carefully, I look over the trunk but can’t see anyone.
More shots are fired, and I quickly duck. Tires squeal and I can hear a car racing away from us as sirens approach.
“Who the fuck was that?” Smoke grits out as he holsters his gun and puts pressure on my shoulder.
“Fuck, that hurts.”
“Good, that means you’re alive, asshole.”
“Wildcat, are you hurt?”
“No, I don’t think so. The blood’s from you guys.”
I wince when Smoke applies more pressure. Pain radiates down my arm as my vision blurs and I can see little black dots. Fuck, I cannot pass out.
Looking Wildcat and my brothers over more closely, I think we’re the only three shot. Both Travis and Ryder are on their phones, most likely calling in the cavalry.
“Ryder, have Alexei bring my laptop,” Smoke shouts at him. Ryder gives him a chin lift and after a few moments, he hangs up.
I try to slide my cut off, but I can’t do it one-handed.
“Travis, help me get my cut off so they don’t cut it off me. I don’t want to go to jail for killing the fucker that cuts it.”
He’s quickly by my side and I groan when he tugs a little too hard, jostling my shoulder.
“Sorry, Pres.”
He quickly has my cut off and I wince again as Smoke applies more pressure.
The sirens get louder and then screech to a halt.
Holy shit!
Someone just shot at us! In broad fucking daylight!
