I should have known there was more, but the gunfire still took me by surprise. I like, though, that they were rescued before it could be a disaster, and I adore this exchange:
"You can see that Markus still hasn't learned to duck," Jeremiah said.
"Yeah, this is getting to be a bad habit," Lee agreed, serious-faced as he wound the gauze around Markus' upper arm.
Markus' eyes went from one to the other and he frowned. "You two are supposed to fight," he said, with a distinct tired whine in his voice. "Ganging up on me isn't fair..."
Poor baby!
This is just a fantastic response to my request, and again, it makes me so happy! Now I'm kicking myself that it took me so long, because there's just so much to love, and the pacing is great, the climax and denouement work fabulously, I just. LOVE. And even more apologies. And LOVE. *beams*
