Jett pulled out his phone to call Ciaran, despite his inner voice telling him to do otherwise. His few years of training in the special forces should have served him better than this.

Madeline said, “Don’t! It’s too late, and it will only distract him.” Then she charged out of her hiding position, running like the wind and leaving him behind, embarrassed.

He ground his teeth and ran after her.

When they closed the distance, Jett realized Ciaran still had not seen the gunman, but he did see Madeline running toward him, brandishing her gun.

Come on! Jett thought. If Ciaran had any combat training at all, he wouldn’t pull his gun out now because he would be slower than his opponents. He had to pretend he didn’t see Madeline.

Ciaran did just that.

He ignored her and instead smiled at the woman in the group. Jett had to give it to him. How could a filthy rich guy, polished from head to toes, be so agile and seem sharp as hell in a critical combat situation?

“Stop!” Madeline yelled.

“Oh fuck,” Jett cursed out loud as he knew the consequences of her action.

The group approaching Ciaran stopped and turned around, looking at her. When they turned their backs on him, Ciaran pulled out his gun.

He gunned down two men of the men in front, and the third one grabbed the woman and charged away. The two gunmen at the back turned and fired at Madeline. She shot back and gunned one down.

She was fast, but not fast enough. The last gunman already had a bullet leaving his gun muzzle and heading in her direction.

Once more, Jett had to act against his inner voice, which was cursing his stupidity right now. He pushed Madeline aside and copped the bullet for her.

He heard another shot and was certain Ciaran had put down the last man.

Jett was lying face down, feeling the impact of the bullet.

Madeline flipped him over. There, he saw tears in her eyes, the same tears she had shed years ago when he took the fall in a fatal college incident. He knew she was innocent, but all the evidence back then had pointed to the contrary.

“Jett!”

He groaned.

“What were you doing, you idiot?”

“I’m wearing a bulletproof vest.” He winced and grabbed his shoulder. “It’ll only be a bruise.”

“You don’t wear a vest on your head.”

“I’d never stick my head out to stop a bullet. Not even for you, Madeline. So don’t worry. You don’t owe me anything.”

Ciaran approached. “What are you doing here? I told you to keep her safe. You’re fired.”

Jett stood up. “Isn’t that what I just did? I copped the bullet that was supposed to be yours. You’re reckless, Ciaran.”

“Excuse me?”

“I guess nobody has ever told you the truth because you pay them. Well, here’s some breaking news for you. If you want to play it cool in front of those gangsters, then fine. That’s your business. But you almost got your wife killed. I have no idea how she can run so fast and shoot with that stun gun of hers, but the bastard pulled his gun out.
