I bent down and wanted to take Gaps gun as soon as I saw he could move. But I wasn’t expecting him to reacL He snatched the gun and rolled away. Then he leaned against the wall, aiming the weapon at Dicken.
I wasn’t thinking about anything at the time. I jumped into the water and stretched my arms out in front of Dicken. Just like the first time I resolved the conflict between Dicken and Gary. Even though I knew my tiny body couldn’t completely cover Dicken’s body, it was the only thing I could do at the time. That was what kept Gary from shooting repeatedly.

I wasn t sure if he’d kill Dicken and me together just for not being able to have me. But it was clear that, even if we were all going to die together, I didn t want to leave Dicken. This thoug ht had already outweighed the desire to live. I clutch his chest tightly. His steady heartbeat soothed me from behind. It roused the emotions in my chest. Even though I was facing death, I \vas brave.
