Not for the door.
For her.
I fire.
One shot.
Clean.
He drops.
Hard.
Weapon hitting the floor.
Silence crashes down.
Final this time.
I move in fast.
Kick the weapon away.
Drop him fully.
Trigger locks him down.
Beast secures.
Done.
Tessa stands still.
Watching.
Breathing.
Alive.
I step in front of her.
“You okay?”
She looks at me.
Really looks.
And this time—
There’s no fear.
“Yeah,” she whispers.
Sirens rise in the distance.
Finally—
Justice.
