Odie's attempt to grab the gun didn't quite pan out. Jonah, who was standing by, was all set to jump in and team up with Odie, but before he could make his move, a gunshot echoed through the air.
Sophie let out a painful grunt.
Blood trickled from her shoulder, and her face went pale as sweat, as big as peas, dotted her forehead from the searing pain. Odie, ready to spring into action, suddenly froze.
Colby's face turned as dark as a stormy sky; he had his pistol aimed right at the back of Kiran's head. But Kiran, cool as a cucumber, kept his back turned to him.
"Colby, think it through. Next time... it won't just be the shoulder."
Kiran's words sent a shiver down Colby's arm, making his hand tremble. Everyone had witnessed Kiran's prowess. If he missed once, it wouldn't just be Sophie's shoulder that was in danger.
These thoughts zipped through Colby's mind, but before he knew it, Kiran had already whisked Sophie away.
"Colby! Colby!"
Adler was shaking Colby frantically, "Come on, think! We need a plan!"
'Colby, don't act rashly.'
'They still need me; they won't kill me just yet.'
Sophie's words kept echoing in his mind, and the image of her looking at him was vivid. He needed to stay calm. There had to be more to this situation.
"What’s Kiran's deal?" Colby's gaze, sharp as a knife, zeroed in on Sandy.
Sandy went pale and shook her head vigorously, "I—I don’t know."
"You don’t know?"

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
