"But we may have bigger problems at the moment."<br/><br/>Shamus continued to feign death as he lay on the ground, awaiting the time when the survivor's attention was completely off him. "They'll be bits and pieces by the time I'm through with them." He thought to himself, the bullets fired at him buried lightly into his thick hide.
