Chapter 66
Auggie didn’t know what to do to stop this. Cal was bleeding. She had seen the blood explode over his white shirt. It hadn’t even stopped him. She looked down. There was blood welling on her dress. On her.
She’d been shot.
She’d been shot. Again.
Well, now she was just beyond pissed off. Jacob Neilson didn’t get to do this. He didn’t get to ruin her future, her hope. And he didn’t get to hurt the man Auggie knew she was starting to love. He didn’t get to hurt them.
The gun went off again. She was screaming for help. She’d heard the sirens. Cal’s neighbors were close. Clancy had seen.
There had to be help nearby.
The men were at her feet. Rolling. Fighting. There was so much blood. She slipped. She had on her brace, but it didn’t allow her to bend her knee that easily. Auggie fell. Her head, her shoulder bounced off the corner of the loveseat. But there…
There was the gun. Under the loveseat.
She reached out. Grabbed the gun. She had the gun now. She did.
He couldn’t shoot them again.
And then…yelling. She heard more yelling.
There were people there.
People.
She looked up.
Into stone gray eyes and a beautiful face.
