Hold Tight
Rodney didn’t lower his gun.
He stood, perfectly still, staring at the man on the ground. The body of the man, on the ground because Rodney had shot him.
He’d shot people before, more than once, but never like this, face-to-face with someone he’d shared a meal with only a few hours earlier.
Rodney started when gentle hands settled over his on the barrel of the nine-millimeter.
“Hey,” said John, softly.
“He was going to kill you,” Rodney said, breathless. “And I…”
John took the gun. “I know,” he said, pulling him into a rough hug.
Rodney held on tight.
THE END
