Shane.
He wasn't going to prison. Locked up with the same scum he'd helped put there. He wouldn't last a week, and Shane knew it.
The frantic call from Ronnie telling him Lem had rolled on them. He'd turned rat…bastard. He knew that Lem had been cracking, he'd tried to warn Vic, but he hadn't listened.
He'd betrayed them for Dutch! Vic had been right Dutch had to be taken out, but Lem wouldn't go for it. That's when he'd told Lem about Terry. Shit, that had been a mistake. Lem hadn't taken it well, but Vic had convinced him he'd be able to talk him round. Guess that hadn't gone well.
IAD had been banging on his door. He'd snatched up his weapon on reflex, and a few shots had sent them running.
The weight of the gun in his hand felt heavy and reassuring, but he wished Vic were there. Vic would know what to do. Vic would find a way out. However, Vic wasn't there, and Shane knew there was no way out this time.
Through the door, fire his gun, and he'd be taken down.
Taking a breath he stepped forward.
He wasn't going to prison.
