let me go

The next thing Qrow knows, Clover's eyes are scant inches away from his own, wide with shock; his mouth twists into an open scream, no noise emerging for a moment. Qrow's eyes fall, landing upon a short handle protruding from Clover's shoulder. Without a word, he immediately lifts Harbinger and fires a bullet right between the eyes of Clover's assailant, no longer caring of attaining true justice. The body falls away in time with Clover's.

Unlike the target, however, Clover at least has Qrow to catch him; but Qrow knows that he may not be enough to save him.
