Third Person POV;

Beth watches as Fitzpatrick unfastens a black pistol out of the holster on his hip. 

"Please, I don't want you to do this!" Beth cries. It's silent as Beth turns onto the street with Lucky's bar sitting at the end of the block. 

Her eyes widen as she spots Annie and Saige stepping out the Lucky's onto the empty sidewalk. Annie takes quick notice of Beth's van halfway down the quiet road, while Saige's gaze is on her fiancé. She hears the passenger side window rolling down, along with the sound of the pistol being cocked. 

"Hit the brakes," Fitzpatrick demands. Beth listens, shifting the gear into park. 

"Please not right here. I don't want them to see me die," Beth begs, more tears falling down her face. Fitzpatrick turns his head to look at her; it's the first time he's looked at her since they got in her van.

"You're not the one I'm shooting," he smiles coyly. A second before she can process his words, his pistol is aimed out of the half-opened window.

"NO!" Beth screams. She leans over the center console, trying to grab the gun out of his hand. 

BANG!

"NO!" Annie screams. Grabbing Saige's wrist, she tugs her niece out of the way. 

BANG!

The aunt and niece duo fall onto their knees, Saige's body falling against Annie's side. Annie feels something warm against her arm, dread filling her entire body as she looks and sees blood.

"Oh, God. Oh no, no, no!" she cries. 

"Is she all right?!" Beth drops onto her knees in front of the pair. 

"I'll be fine. It's just a graze," Saige heavily breathes. The shock starts to hit the twenty-three year old, her face paling and sweat lining her forehead.

"Give me your flannel," Annie orders her big sister. Beth quickly listens, handing Annie the blue and black flannel that's actually Dean's. 

Tearing part of the sleeve off, Annie mutters apologies as she shoves the material into the graze wound on Saige's bare shoulder. Ripping off more of the sleeve, Annie tightly ties the material around Saige's shoulder and armpit, securing the bleeding pretty well.

"She needs to go to the hospital." Beth and Annie jump, quite literally jumping out of the way and allowing Rio to crouch down in front of Saige. 

"My van..." Beth trails off, noticing that her powder blue van is no longer parked in the middle of the road. 

"One of my men has it for the time being. You'll get it back," Rio informs in a harsh tone. Beth Boland is not is favorite person at the moment. 

"My car is parked halfway down the block," says Annie. Saige had made her turn left and drive past Lucky's, parking about halfway down the street away from the bar. 

"Lets go," says Rio, carefully picking Saige up.

Detroit Medical Center;

Saige;

"How are you feeling?" Beth's voice is a whisper. I can tell from her red-rimmed eyes that she's been crying. 

"I was right, bullet just grazed my shoulder thanks to Annie yanking me out of the way. The wound isn't too large or deep to need stitches, just these Steri Strips. Doctor assumes the wound will heal within a month with no permanent damage," I inform.
