Gunfire and shouting continued

The urge to ask if everything was okay burneda shoot-out Things were obviously not okay

Sirens pierced the air

Cops Shit

My hand strayed toward the horn But I didn’t actually see any cops Yet

Screams and more shouts

“Wrap it up!” Merlin yelled “Let’s go! Let’s go!”

“Ulfric’s down!” Whisper yelled from behind the van

I jerked the door open and slid out, running toward the danger before I knehat I was doing He ht, but Ulfric had been good to me If he’d been shot, I needed to help him, no matter what

I stumbled over him just inside the door He had one arm wrapped around a cannister His other hand was pressed to his leg Blood seeped out froers

“Shit!” I knelt next to hi”

He blinked at me “You’re s’posed to be in the van”

“Whisper said you were down”

He groaned as I helped lift hi from the rest of the clubhouse increased Gunfire sounded closer We needed to get the fuck out

I half carried, half dragged Ulfric to the back of the van Merlin and Whisper helped me bundle him inside

“Go grab his stash,” Merlin said

“Cops are coet out of here”

“Hurry up” Merlin shoved me toward the open door

I crept inside again The cannister was right where we’d left it I snatched it off the floor

As I stood, there was a click behind me

So hard pressed into the back of my skull “Set it down Slow”

Fuck

It couldn’t be a Viper They would’ve just blown my brains out

“Lace your fingers behind your head”

Nope, it orse

“You’re under arrest”
