#I'm not sure this part is good enough to post. It seems so suckish compared to the scene in my head.

WIP Wednesday (11/6) | Mafia Front Restaurant AU (Part 244)

Jean throws himself at Nathaniel just as the shot goes off, curling around him like a shield. 

Always a shield. 

The momentum takes them both to the ground and Jean twists at the last second so he's able to cushion his partner's fall. He lands on on his back hitting the pavement with a thud and Nathaniel's hand is cushioning the back of his head. There's a dull throb of pain near his shoulder blade. Jean blinks up at at his partner a couple of times and watches as Nathaniel rolls off him onto his knees to return fire.

NATHANIEL

Before he even registers what's happened, Nathaniel's gun is back in his hand and he's fired off two shots. Neither hits. But the third, the third finds its home in Johnny's thigh. He yelps in pain and hobbles back a couple of steps with a hand clapped over the wound.

"You wanna try again, you piece of shit?" Nathaniel finds himself saying, but Johnny's too focused on the blood gushing from his leg to answer. Nathaniel stares at him, disgusted. He doesn't have orders to kill this man, but he thinks his uncle gave permission to waste him if necessary.

He's lining up another shot, a fatal one, when Paul steps back into the alley. "Holy shit, Johnny. What did you do?"
