It felt like the bullets flew for ever, as I covered her body, praying she didn’t have so much as a mark on her.
Eventually, they stopped.
I stayed on top of her after, wanting to make sure no more were coming.
Then, when it was finally over, and I asked her if she was okay, what did this strange, amazing, wonderful fucking woman do?
Ask meif I was okay.
“I’m not hit. Are you?” I asked, pushing up to look down at her.
“I’m… no,” she said, shaking her head.
“Are you sure?” I asked, moving off of her, looking over her, running my hands over her skin.
But there was nothing.
She was okay.
“Okay,” I said, half-turning, and reaching into the second drawer of my nightstand, finding my gun. “Listen to me,” I demanded.
“Okay,” she agreed, eyes a little wide as she looked at the gun.
“I need you to get on your hands and knees and crawl into the bathroom,” I told her, reaching with my free hand to grab the sheet off the bed, and throwing it over her body.
“I… okay,” she agreed, her brows pinched.
“And then I need you to get in the tub, and stay as low as you can.”
“What about you?” she asked, voice tight.
“I’m fine. I need to check the house and make some calls. Please. Go. Now,” I added with a little bit of a bark in my voice because she seemed a little stunned.
Then she was doing as I demanded, getting on all fours and crawling toward the bathroom, trailing the sheet with her as she went.
When I was sure she was safe, I yanked my slacks up my legs again, then flew out of my bedroom, making my way through the house.
My phone was where I left it on the kitchen counter, and I reached for it even as I kept moving through the house, looking for anyone who might have stayed behind to make sure the job was done.
“Yeah?” Luca asked, sounding distracted.
“Drive-by at my house,” I said, looking out the front door.
“What?” he hissed.
“Drive-by. Fucking glass and bullets everywhere.”
“Are you hit?” he asked, voice tight.
“No.”
“We’re on our way,” he said.
“Luca,” I called before he could hang up.
“Yeah?”
“Savannah is here,” I told him.
