<div style="text-align: justify;">Shadow Mari was pissed off and scared at the moment. Which of the feelings was stronger was still uncertain for the girl. She felt both fighting for her attention, and still had to keep her attention to keep dummy from showing up at the wrong moment and ruin everything. Stupid as dummy was, she would probably get both of them killed. <br/><br/>The thoughts ran through Shadow Mari's mind while she was pushed by Jack's thug, hoping she wouldn't be shot, or, if she did, that she wouldn't be killed or, if killed, it would at least be instant. There were no pleasant perspectives for Mari, but she was trying to hope for the least crappy ones at the moment.<br/><br/>Being pushed one more time, as the thug opened the door, she stopped on her tracks, facing Dumas. Her eyes widened, and she held her breath for a moment. <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Oh, shit, I'm screwed</span></span>, her mind warned her. Biting her lower lip, and moaning as she bit the injured part, Shadow Mari let out a long sigh. "<span style="font-style: italic">You</span>", she stated simply. "Look, if you didn't come here to beat the hell out of me, a little help would be appreciated". The way she spoke made it clear it wasn't <span style="font-style: italic">their</span> Mari. Still, she shared Mari's body, and whatever happened to Shadow Mari would have its effects on "Bunny Girl".<br/><br/>"Shut up", the thug who held Shadow Mari warned, tightening his grip on her neck and pointing a gun at Dumas. "Let him go and I won't shoot you. She makes for a better practice target."</div>
