The lead gunman scanned the room, stopping his gaze on Evelyn.

Evelyn didn't hesitate.
She ducked down and sprinted toward the kitchen.
A gunman stepped into her path, raising his weapon.
Evelyn grabbed a heavy iron skillet from the stove.

The man collapsed onto the tile floor.
Jax pushed open the back exit door, breathing heavily.
