Perhaps it was in her very nature to be a rebel of sorts, to disregard rules that were given to her when she found it necessary. She would not allow human life to be the cost of a good story if she could- the only thing that had never quite fit her for her job.

It should have stayed that way, gone about as planned- but the stranger not too far away from her didn't seem aware of his predicament, of the man reaching to get his gun off his belt to defend his 'territory'. It would have been easy for her to continue walking as little more than a ghost or a shadow to him, but...
"Hey! Watch it! Behind you!"
Her dad hadn't been wrong when he had told her she wouldn't have been cut out for this job- she cared too much.
