Losing fucking sucks, but it’s nothing Addy isn’t used to. So they were a bit rusty on their first go around, at least no one was hurt too bad and the cops were able to take care of things. They’ve just got to wipe off the dirt and keep running as her dad used to say.

But Beth didn’t seem to be taking it as well as Addy was. She seemed quieter than normal and even Mango couldn’t bring out the reaction in her that she normally could. Concerned about her friend, she went to her door and knocked. “Beth? You in there? I was going to take Mango out for a walk and wanted to know if you wanted to come along.”

Claire was in Micah’s (whom she knows as Aaron) apartment, probably cuddling and watching something on the TV while being rudely adorable. When news broke out that an on-going shootout was happening at Snake Eyes Casino, Claire immediately knew where she had to be. Micah practically begged her not to go, and after many (of his) tears, she left while his back was to the door. 

When Claire arrived at the Casino, she did her best to stay on the outskirts of all the action. She had something to live for now, after all. With her gun in hand, her only goal was to watch someone’s back. The only lives she took were the ones that were about to kill Cobras. She saved the lives of her friends and family.

It would be impossible for Claire to save all of them. She’s only one woman, after all. So she saw lives being taken that shook her to her core, each gunshot that lodged into the body of a Cobra, thundering in her ears. However, she is a leader now. She is a leader of capable soldiers, so she isn’t wasting anyone’s time by being outwardly anxious. She’s trying her best to be a comforter, a listener, and a motivator.
