She knew she shouldn’t have provoked the man, who she knew readily had a gun, but her arrogance had gotten the best of her. Of course, taking two bullets to the abdomen wasn’t new to her, but last time this had happened she had the advantage of being in a familiar place with one of her brothers.

The door swung open and the young blonde who she was told lived here stood in the door way. Scarlet smirked and carefully lifted her blood soaked shirt, revealing her wounds,
“I was told you could help me with this sorta thing.”
