FLASH BANGShe came in a rolling tumble, shoulder colliding into the asphalt with a sickening crunch, even as she rolled through it, landing on her feet in a crouch, with the rifle pulled up, letting out the two rounds. Her brown eyes swept over the changed scenery, as she stood with a very slow, predatory, grace.
"Bastard." Jo swore at the empty area. "You think this will stop me?"
Her left hand went to right shoulder, biting back the pain of the likely dislocation and the deep cut that was sending rivulets down her arm, soaking through her over shirt.
"I will find you again." She turned around, only to be confronted with a small green sign, hanging upside down on a pole by one hinge, reading:
Kansas City | | 6 mi |
Lawrence | | 46 mi |
Topeka | | 73 mi |
"Fucking great."
It was hard to tell what that meant through the sneer and the cursory look at her shoulder. It was going to need attention very soon. She looked around again, shook her head, shifted the rifle into the other hand and arm, and started walking her, sorry sight of an, ass into toward civilization.
