Happy Thanksgiving to all the U.S. peeps! Here’s something to be thankful for. Originally, this particular scene was scripted much differently. There was blood. Mike jumping in front of a bullet is entirely in character, but ultimately, I decided given Conrad’s nature and Mike mumbling about people getting shot, this was a more realistic scenario. (And this change helped a number of other story elements fall into place.)

Oh, and in case you are movie-educated, be aware that a bullet-proof vest is not magical armor. It prevents piercing but not impact/force. It turns life-threatening into debilitating.

Anubis: Not the best scenario, but it could be worse.

plymayer: The dog flies!

KimLuster: Waiting is good. I didn't know how the scene would go either. (I write one way and hit a dead end and then rewrite.)

tupapayon: Most definitely not a hunting dog.

Peipei: It definitely smarts – the impact but not the fall, nice soft snow.

ghostrunner: A ten-foot fall into snow is no problem (*after being shot out of your seat).

LanceDanger: This may be what we call a climax.
