Chapter 49

Joshua ripped the revolver from the back of Rufus’ pants and began firing into the crowd, Rufus doing so with the shotgun at the same time. With the security so tightly packed, the spray of the shotgun was able to take out multiple members at once. Richard was unloading a pair of revolvers towards security when he caught three bullets in his stomach, paralyzing him immediately. Joshua had fired his fourth shot when he felt the violent burn of hot lead tearing through his left forearm, the force throwing him to the ground. Immediately he looked for Ivory but did not see her.

Joshua continued to fire, emptying the final two rounds of his revolver into Henry’s last-standing guard. He attempted to get to his feet but was frozen by the sight of Rufus, without ammunition, charging to fight Henry with his fists, cut down by the man’s gunfire. Three-four-five times, Henry emptied his weapon into his one-time servant.
