“Why'd you do it? Why'd you kill your own daughter?”

He looksto lose by gloating about what he did “She never should have betrayed ree to come home and marry the man I chose for her” What is this, the fuckin' 1800’s? “She refused like she had a choice!”

“You deluded fuck!”

“Stand down!” Shepard yells at BlackJack He's my father, how does anyone expect him to behave in this situation? He's scared forto losethe sa to blow the pricks head off just as badly I'ht now because he wouldn't be so cal that means this son of a bitch will kill me or anyone else here

“Do as your boss says, ape lover” Right now, BlackJack and Roritted, desperate to put this fucker down I know the feeling all too well

There is nothing in the world that hurts a ainst the wo, and this cunt will pay for what he's said about her, for frightening her, and for threatening to kill her

“I'd think very carefully about your next words, Webster”

He laughs loudly, sarcastically “You fuckers don't get to tell ! You think I'm scared? My sons will be home at any moment, and then you'll be sorry!”

Every person in the roo This stupid fuck really believes his sons are going to save hi his racist ass

“Listen to un don't leaveto Shepard's words The sweat of fear rolls down his teuns pointed at you would do that Wouldn't be surprised if he ain't shit his pants Literally He smells like death already, so it isn't easy to tell “You ain't getting out of this barn alive You killed your own daughter, left a little boy without his mother,”

“She should have listened to me I am her father!”

“She had a right to her own life! You took that life from her because she didn't believe your fucked up views Now, it's over Put the gun down and let us take Brooke's body home She deserves a real burial, not to be wrapped up in tarp and dumped somewhere”

I lock eyes with Ice as Webster argues back and forth with Shepard I don't knohat the point of it is, but I think the fact Shepard just yelled hoe'd kill his wife and sons if he doesn't put the gun down has only exacerbated the situation

Ice's eyes slide to the side of hi I look down Webster really did a number on Brooke; he even tore her damn shirt off I can't stand that everyone can see Brooke in that white bra

What the fuck are you even thinking right nok? The last thing on anyone else's irls chest!

I don't understand what Ice is trying to tell me with his eyes I look at hient eyes However, I' to tellon around me; the smell of fear is everywhere

I'et it over with; I'ames with this prick! But “Hey, Hank?” Every person's head turns in the direction of a croaky voice co fro through me is evident to anyone with eyes as Brooke smashes the spade across her own father's face with so un before it can hit the ground and go off

Brooke sways on her feet “Rot in hell, you piece of shit!” She spits on hi her back in my arms I stroke her face as her eyes roll I can't believe she's alive She ot to her feet to stop the man who tried to destroy us

“Baby, talk toher, tears in my eyes Her beautiful face is a mess “Brooke!”

“Let go of her!”

“Is this fucker still alive?!” I yell at my brother's

“Get hi down his face frorab his arms and hold hiun at Webster

“Go to hell, ape lover!”

“You first” I hide Brooke's face in my chest; I don't want her to see her father die at the hands of mine Not that she's even conscious, but I don't want to risk it I close my eyes as the bullet enters Hank's stomach However, the fucker is still not dead BlackJack knohat he's doing, and he wants that piece of shit to suffer

I hold Brooke tocrap out of thatleft of hiotten ht now is Brooke and h this

Please coh this, baby, I need you, and Gabe needs you I' without you

“Please,” I kiss Brooke's head hard I' up What if I' I can do to save her?

“What do we do with this mess?” I hear Hammer asks
