Day Ninety-Nine…
Two gunshots rang out at the exact same moment. The clash of gunfire came from both sides, but only one bullet hit the target.
Hanabi staggered backward as blood began to bloom from the wound. Her grip on the gun loosened, and the weapon clattered to the floor as she collapsed.
To protect Alexander, Jack also fired at her the moment she pulled the trigger.
Spade rushed forward, immediately checking on Alexander. His hands moved quickly, scanning for any signs of injury.
"Alexander, are you hit?" he asked urgently, forgetting to call him his Boss.
But Alexander didn't respond. He hadn't moved an inch. He stood frozen, his gaze fixed on the woman now lying in a growing pool of blood before him.
His heart clenched painfully in his chest.
Jack moved closer to Hanabi, his eyes locked on her motionless body. Without hesitation, he raised his gun again… this time aiming directly at her head, ready to fire a second.
