#jackieguetta

It was the first time that Claire had been left alone on a job. Aspyn wasn’t there anymore to reassure her that everything would be alright, and a part of her was nervous because of it honestly. While it seemed pretty straightforward, she knew better than to assume it would stay that way.

Sneaking down the hall with gun in hand, Claire listened for anything out of place. Because of that she hadn’t expected anyone to come up behind her. Shoved against the wall unexpectedly. she felt the warm gush as blood dripped from her nose. Turning, she was surprised to see it was Jackie. Whoever the target was must have had Cessation ties, and that was just going to cause more of a problem.

While Claire went to hit Jackie back, Jackie had gone for her gun. It felt like forever while they both struggled for control before the gun went off. Neither moved, the initial shock making it impossible to tell who had been hit.

A sigh of annoyance as Claire turned around, seeing that annoying woman again. This time with a gun leveled at her face.

“I didn’t say anything,” she reminded. “I was leaving. If you shoot me for no damn reason then what’s the point?”

Claire folded her arms across her chest, internally very much afraid of the idea of being shot. On the outside though she remained calm and tried to reason her way out of it. Maybe Jackie just wanted her dead regardless of if she had said a word.
