984 Plan to remove Shawn (4)

A surge of adrenalin made Sarah feel that everything is moving in slow motion, except for her maybe… She saw Shawn sneer while his eyes flickered with mad euphoria… Ron not moving, horrified by the prospect that this is the end… The man pressing on the trigger of a gun with a crazed smile on his face… JoAnna gasped… and Sarah dashed forward.

The sound of a gunshot had a time-unfreezing effect.

JoAnna cried Sarah's name, and to Sarah it seemed like it came from a distance.

To Sarah, everything seemed like it's far away, except for the man with a gun. That man was very close, he was the only thing her mind focused on while tuning out everything else.

Ron opened his eyes and took a small choppy breath. Ron does not remember closing his eyes. But… there is no pain. Wasn't he shot? Did the man miss? Ron noticed that Sarah is next to him, and her left arm is in front of his face, blocking his view.
