(Shamus is with Zen and Vincent, just a note.)<br/><br/>Nikolai knew what would happen from his action, but he smiled with a relief as he left events to fate. The bullet passed through his chest quickly, making a dent in the wall behind him, but leaving behind a clean wound. "Well, I guess that's that." He said with a chuckle as he shuddered, coughing up blood onto the ground. The bullet had hit low, probably somewhere near his stomach. It was not the most lethal aim given the situation, but it was certainly effective. Nikolai fell back onto the wall, sliding down it with a thud as his breaths became difficult.<br/><br/>"You would use your family as a shield, and they call me the monster." Shamus said as he stepped away from the family, a look of disgust on his face. "I'll kill alot of things Zen, but innocent women and kids aren't in my resume."
