<span style="color: #FF0000">Fernando wasn't sure, by Jayee's reaction, what she really thought of his response, and he was a bit confused when she started going outside. When he saw her looking around, however, he finally understood she was checking for any potential threats. He watched her, not particularly worried that there would be anyone out there in this type of weather. As she gave him the sign that all was clear, he relaxed in his seat a little. <br/><br/>Suddenly, he heard the gunshot. He whipped his head back in the direction of Jayee and saw that it had hit her leg. She also gave him a look that was meant for him to stay in the truck. <br/><br/>Fernando was conflicted for only a split second, then decided that she'd have to forgive his insubordination later. He kept his head down below the windows so no one would see him in the car and scooted along to the driver's seat. If Jayee hadn't seen anything around her, then the shot had to have come from a sniper, and he knew just how to deal with that. He only wished he had brought along some armor or weapons with him. <br/><br/>Without opening the door, he jumped out through the open window, landing on the ground and immediately rolling forward as he heard a shot hit the mud where he had landed only a split second ago. He quickly scrambled along the ground to where Jayee was as another shot just missed his shoulder and grabbed her hands, pulling her as hard as he could until the momentum had her sliding across the mud and under the truck. He knew that no shot would be able to get them if they were under there, at least not for a while. It would give them time to think of w a way to escape.<br/><br/>As he was about to dive under the truck, howeve, one of the shots hit the back of his left shoulder blade. He would have screamed, had he not already been trained to remain quiet at all costs, no matter how much pain you were in. Appearing unphased, at least for the moment, he dived under the truck next to Jayee, breathing heavily.</span>
