Snippet #1348432

Henrietta was close behind Vincent when she heard the bullet fired and then slam into the wall where Vincent had been standing. She was a little distance away and could see Jax if she peeked over her own hiding spot. However another figure was nearby, she wasn't sure but on the far side of a building about a block over she thought she saw a flash of red hair. Multiple thoughts were quickly flying through her head but predominantly there was thoughts of worry and despair. Jax had two high ranking mercenaries after him now, she might be able to slow Vincent enough to get away herself but if her haunch was right and that was Annatte then she was in a bad spot.

Leaning against the wall she was hiding behind, Henrietta closed her eyes trying to calm herself down. This was how they caught her last time, she was too worked up and she had made mistakes, this can't happen again, not this time. She had to escape. Henrietta pulled out her side arm, fingering it for a second. She wasn't sure what to do but she had to stop Vincent and make him away of the second assassin, whoever she was. Closing out her sight Henrietta concentrating on her hearing, she could do this. The first sound was of a blade being drawn from it's scabbard, that was Jax, the sound was familiar but afterwards there was a faintest chink. Henrietta's eyes shot open. Quickly, Henrietta fired three bullets from her hiding spot, aiming them so that they would hit directly at Jax's feet which would make him step back and dodge whatever was being thrown at him. At the same time however she was pulling out one of her P90s and vaulting the ledge of the building they were on. As she leveled with Vincent she squeezed the trigger as her body dropped.

She was not worried whether or not the bullets hit Vincent or not, she was so close to him that some of them must have, she could only hope that they killed him or at least wounded him enough to allow her and Jax time to escape. Henrietta slowed her fall by grabbing onto the third and then second story fire escapes before making a rolling stop on the ground in front of Jax. On her way down she had indeed spotted Annatte but was quickly back on her feet and running. She didn't stop and just ran past Jax, "Run with me" she said as she passed him.
