Raegan, do you have faith in me?
Raegan did not grasp his meaning but replied instinctively, Mitchel, I trust Ugh
Katie intensified her hold, suggesting she might strangle Raegan without resorting to her weapon.
Raegan, you simply need to place faith in me. Nothing more!

Before Raegan could respond, a sudden diving tackle ensued.
Raegan was forcefully knocked to the ground beneath Mitchel. Both individuals collided heavily with the floor.
Upon seeing Raegan break free from her grasp, Katie acted swiftly and pulled the trigger.
The familiar sound of a bullet casing ejecting left Raegan stunned.
In the next instant, her eyes reddened and she screamed in horror, Mitchel! It was Mitchel who had lunged at her. This indicated that the bullet, intended for her, had struck him instead. So, was his plea for trust really about sacrificing himself for her once more? No, this could not be happening!
Tears welled in Raegans eyes as she turned Mitchel over to inspect him. Mitchel, are you injured? I cant bear it I cant bear to see you like this. I hate you!
Witnessing her tears, Mitchel grinned and reassured her, Foolish. I had told you to have faith in me.
Raegan hesitated. Mitchels voice was feeble, yet it didnt indicate a gunshot wound. Furthermore, there was no blood where a bullet would have penetrated.
Raegan glanced up suspiciously, and Katie, equally perplexed, squeezed the trigger once more to confirm.
Mitchel! Raegan attempted to drag him away, but he struggled to balance on one leg facing Katies firearm.
Dont! No! Raegans expression turned ashen with dread.
Katie, appearing unhinged, persistently pressed the trigger aimed at Mitchels countenance.
Click. The noise of several unfilled chambers puzzled Katie. How could this be? Why!
Ultimately, the gun malfunctioned and emitted no noise.
Fuming, Katie angrily threw the gun to the ground, her agitation palpable.
Mitchel, was it you messing with me? In her agitation, she spoke rapidly while tugging at the large, unsightly wound on her mouth, causing her to grimace in pain and appear notably repulsive.
Mitchel maintained a calm expression as he replied, I swapped the guns.
Back when Lorenzo crushed his kneecap, Mitchel had seized the opportunity to switch their weapons. However, in his rush to rescue Raegan, he forgot the concealed gun.
Consequently, the gun Katie wielded was the one Mitchel had tampered with.
Despite this, Mitchel still shielded Raegan with his body, wearing a bulletproof vest underneath.
