Shot Quote by Will Jordan
““Hefting the weapon in a clumsy grip, she aimed it towards the gap in the door just as she saw a figure appear, and squeezed off a round. Quick reactions and his assailant’s poor aim were about the only things that saved Mason from taking a round full in the chest. Twisting aside just as the woman opened fire, he was in time to see the round bury itself in the wall beside him. The echoing crack of the shot reverberated around the room, loud as thunder, followed immediately by a second.””
