Clark heard the mechanics of the gun do whatever it did before the the hammer kicked back so he had plenty of time to prepare during the woman’s hold up. As the gun shot Clark, seemingly out of nowhere, jumped in front of the woman and landed in a heap on the ground. Although he caught the bullet in his hand which was now closed he made seemed like that wasn’t the case. With his eyes closed he heard the criminals footsteps as he ran off.
Darcy was eyeing the barrel of the gun, the way it was shaking in her muggers grip, and she just got that feeling that said this was going to end very very badly. And though she could survive being shot, it was still going to suck major balls. Before she had time to react, the gun went off. There was no pressure though, no sharp punch to the gut, and it took her a moment to realise why.
“Holy shit!” She shrieked, dropping to her knees and trying to roll the idiot who’d just jumped in front of a bullet. “Please don’t be dead!” She exclaimed, trying to find where he’d been hit.
