Jay watched curiously while Jared propped up a piece of plywood. It was a good size for a target, but Jay had to wonder how long it would hold up under fire. Plywood was basically cardboard glued together. But Jared was the boss. So, ok.
Jay accepted the pistol. And a pair of ear plugs. They'd hear this upstairs. So hopefully Jared had arranged a warning for a few other guys to stay out of the basement.
Jared's pistol was an exact replica of Jay's sidearm. Therefore he worked the weapon with practiced familiarity. Loaded, he took aim, and glanced one last time at Jared. This was the first time he was really testing his balance on the leg. So he made sure he was physically ready to react should it buckle beneath the kick of the gun.
"You ready Mister Wizard?"
Jay's grin was lighthearted at the nickname. Actually, Wizard was a pretty damn cool name for Vanders. Jay made a mental note to remember that.
But then the grin was lost to a determined focus. His aim centered, and when Vanders was ready, he fired.

Only darkness shows you the light.
