[i]BANG![/i]

A shot went off, putting an end to all the shouting. The woman named Shannon yelped out in pain and dropped the gun she'd grabbed. "The fuck is wrong with you?!" Rudy yelled, spinning around to face the shooter, Bex. Bex stared back, looking surprised at his own actions. He then took a deep breath and aimed his gun toward Shannon's middle.

"Go," he said. "Go! Go in the damn house!" 

Rudy cursed and grabbed Shannon. She squirmed in his arms. "No!" she cried "You don't understand! I can't-- I can't let them down again!" Rudy grunted and pulled her forcefully, dragging her back to the house. They passed by Katie, who was still on the ground. Tyler couldn't let this farce continue for much longer.

"Rudy wasn't the man we thought he was," was all Tyler could say to Enrique. He then raised his eyes toward the house. "Okay!" he yelled. "One of my people will be taking my daughter back! If there is a single shot fired upon them, then my hostage [i]will[/i] be killed!" He turned to Bex and pointed toward Katie, hoping the man wasn't starting to regret being here. Bex responded by nodding dumbly and putting his rifle away. Slowly, he crossed the line of cars and made his way toward Katie. He reached out his hand to her. 

"Please," Tyler heard him say. "Let me just take you to your father."
