Chapter 31: No Easy Way Out
Both the men were scarily proficient with the weapons in their hands returning fire, so the campsite quickly turned into something that resembled a warzone.

A brilliant red drop of blood trickled over the center of his forehead and across the bridge of his nose before he reached up with his injured arm to swipe at it.
