POP!

A gun went off and Jax was on alert. He jumped in front of us, his face just as serious as Aiden’s had been not long before.

“Stay here. I mean it! I’m going to check on Aiden,” he said.

“No!” Elizabeth said, tears in her eyes. “Stay!”

I couldn’t stop my own eyes from filling. I was worried for everyone, but mainly I was worried for Aiden. With Jax wanting to go find him, I worried for him, too.

“Don’t go,” I pleaded. “If something has happened, we can’t lose you, too!”

“I’ll be fine, just stay here in the cover of the crowd,” he said.

Without another word, Jax began moving through the crowd. Not surprisingly, Elizabeth began following him. I reached out for her, but she was already disappearing into the people. There was no way I was going to let her go alone, so I followed. There we were. The two idiots doing exactly what we were told not to. I had to find her and pull her back.

“Jax!” I heard Elizabeth scream over everyone.

I’d just made it to the front to see what was going on. Ahead of us stood a man pointing a gun at a small girl, but Jax moved to stand in front of her. Down a bit further was Aiden, crouched behind a pillar, his weapon drawn, but not aimed. The shooter didn’t even seem to notice him. The police were screaming at the man to drop the gun. They were screaming they would shoot, but there was a woman in his other arm. There was no way they could shoot him without shooting through her. The angle was all wrong. It was one hell of a standoff.

“You,” the man said as he looked at Jax. “You were the asshole from earlier.”

Jax put one of his hands on the chest of the little girl, gently pushing her further behind him. The mother reached out and snatched her up, disappearing back into the crowd. I could see Elizabeth right up front, though she was separated from him by more than ten feet. It was obvious that she hadn’t taken the same path that he had.

“Just put it down,” Jax said. “No one has to get hurt here today.”

The man laughed. “Well, I’d planned to force my wife to tell the world what a whore she was before I gave her what she deserved, right here in front of everyone, but I’ll start with you.”

Aiden jumped forward, gun half-raised.

“Hey!” he shouted. “Over here, you whiny bitch.”

“DROP IT!” one of the police shouted.

“I’m Staff Sergeant Aiden Walsh in the US Army. All do respect, I have a better shot than any of you.”

The shooter looked over at Aiden, seeing him for the first time. The police didn’t seem to care too much about Aiden at that moment. I wasn’t sure if it was because Aiden announced himself and they believed him, or that he had his gun on the shooter and did have a better shot, or that they all had a very clear shot of Aiden, given that he didn’t have a hostage.
