Greg squeezed her hand reassuringly, keeping her safely behind him. He wouldn’t let her go, especially not to him. “She’s not coming anywhere near you- you’ll not go near her again. Over my dead body,” he told him, sharpness lining his voice.
“That can be arranged.” Tom grinned and bought a second hand up to steady his first. “Till death do you part, and all that. Many congratulations- and condolences on your loss Molly Hooper.” With that Tom fired the gun, hitting Greg in the chest, having a terrible aim.
All at once John fired at Tom and the doors burst open, a group of men running in to arrest Tom and drag him away.
Greg frowned and glanced down at his chest, feeling the blood in his throat already, stumbling back as he dropped to the floor with a groan.
