Naomi Shaw screamed as she watched Wendy Lowe collapse. She clapped a hand over her mouth and stumbled backward. Earlier, back at the house, after hiding the two children, she had hurriedly stashed a pair of scissors in her pocket, just in case. She never thought she'd actually have to use them. A moment ago, seeing Wendy about to shoot Julian Donovan, she didn't know where the courage came from, but she had pulled out the scissors and plunged them into Wendy's back.
'But... did I just kill someone?' She stared in terror at Wendy Lowe's motionless body on the ground, trembling and too scared to move.
Julian Donovan heard her scream, but Sean Donovan's two bodyguards were highly trained mercenaries with exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills. Even for someone as formidable as Julian, fighting them two-on-one and bare-handed was a real struggle.
