[b]Shannon - Haywood[/b]

He pulled her into the house and let her go next to the stairwell. He began looking over her, his eyes wide with worry. "Fuck... Fuck! Where'd he shoot you? Are you okay?" Shannon slowly nodded and showed him the gash of skin now missing from her forearm. Danny shook his head. "Okay, no... Fuck. Bandages, do you have bandages?" When Shannon didn't speak up right away, Danny kicked his foot into the stairwell angrily. "What the fuck were you thinking?! You almost died! I mean, I thought you were [i]dead[/i], but--!"

She stood up and grabbed his shoulder with her good arm. It was a bit frustrating to be thinking of one of her arms as "good" again. "Don't. Just... Stop. You come out of nowhere and, and drag me away? Like I'm some stupid... stupid [i]doll[/i] or something?"

"Doll? What are you-- What the hell are you talking about? You were about to be killed! Shannon, I--" He froze, shaking his head. "Is this even happening?" he asked. "I don't even know what Thomas was fucking thinking, and then you show up..."

Her grip on his shoulder tightened. "He's a bad man. He kidnapped women and he killed and he stole and..."

Danny brushed off her hand and rolled his eyes. "Okay, holy shit. Hold up." He let out a shaky breath and ran a hand through his hair. "Don't tell me that right now. It's too much to take in all at once."

She paused and looked down at her arm. "I'll... clean this up," she said. He furrowed his brow and looked at her like he was offended. She was going to tell him to get in hiding with the others when the gunfire started outside.

"Goddamn, what now!?" Danny exclaimed as he jumped up the stairs two at a time. She mentally put her injury aside as she quickly followed him. They both huddled at one of the upstairs windows to catch what was happening. The scouts were quickly dividing themselves in two, some against Tyler and some for him. Shannon watched as Danny brought a hand to his face. "What have I done?" he asked seemingly to no one. "I made him the leader and look what's fucking happened."

Shannon couldn't think of anything to say.
