Present:
Ash felt dazed as he looked up at the woman pointing a gun at him. His head raced as he tried to fully comprehend his situation, and a way out. She seemed quite serious about killing him, but was hesitating... He looked over her gun for a moment. A revolver... And he recognized the brand and make. Her mistake.
"Have it your way then." Ash replied with a cold smirk. He rolled his body over as the dirt next to him exploded, the round for Saly's revolver having just missed his head. Saly went to cock back the hammer of her revolver to reload the chamber, but she was just moments to slow. The Captain had already rolled to his rifle, spun around, and had the lengthy piece of death aimed at her.
A single bang rang out as a bullet pierced Saly's skull and sent bits of bone and brain matter, and splatters of blood across the courtyard. Her body collapsed to the ground, and Ash began to fire once more at Chilf as he dashed to the corpse, attempting to use Saly as cover from her comrade's bullets.
At least it had been quick, just as she asked.
