h way too ht it with one arun pointed into the rooun out, pointed at the floor, but the safety was off, finger on the trigger Shots firedat you
There was abetween the bars of a cell I had a second to notice he was tall, thin, but I washiun I didn’t even bother to look inside the cage Whatever had been done was done in that second There was nothing at the end of the short hallway but the un still in hand It wasn’t pointed at us, but New
He yelled, “Put the gun down!”
I yelled, “Drop the gun!”
The deputy turned and looked at us I had a e eyes in a face that looked shocked, but his hands with the gun still in them turned with him, and I yelled, “Drop it!”
Newman yelled, “Don’t make us shoot you, Troy Don’t make us do it!”
I finally went to one knee against the wall opposite the cell, so I had a clear shot at the deputy without endangering New into the cell It’d be a bitch to accidentally shoot the person ere trying to save
If the shooter hadn’t been another cop, I’d have shot hi that had saved hied un frouns were bad guns I clicked the safety on, got to my feet, and moved around so I could keep an eye on the deputy as Newround and secured his hands behind his back
I heard soun up and pointed before I could think anything I just reacted I even thuer I didn’t have tier pull and lightened it froer, then potentially soet shot I was okay with it, because a cop should have known better than to walk up on people when the guns came out

I turned toward the sheriff, bringing un toward the floor I took er but left the safety off One of his deputies had just shot one of his prisoners in his own jail It ht mean that Duke would be okay with it Besides, he’d already pointed a gun at et the drop on me twice
“Ease down there, Anita,” the sheriff said
