Prompt from aliceinwhumperland's Whump Word(s) of the Day
'Are you trying to get yourself killed?'
John grinned like the manic he currently was behaving like. Letting loose something that sounded suspiciously like a war cry, he vaulted the table in front of them and charged the three armed men before them.
It worked. The three froze on the spot, and two were down and out before the third had even registered what was going on.
It was the sight of a wild, ginger man, arms waving about and bellowing at the top of his voice that had stopped him. The blood running down one side of his face added to the impression. But the third man rallied quick enough to catch John in the stomach with his gun.
John doubled over, gasping for breath, and he was suddenly on his knees. The man yanked his head back. 'Well, that was either very brave, or very stupid. Seems to me you are trying to get yourself killed.' John grinned up at him, and suddenly the man didn't feel so sure of himself.
I'm actually very brave,' he gasped, still catching his breath. 'He's the stupid one.' As he said this, the man felt a tap on his shoulder and he began to straighten and turn when a fist to the jaw floored him.
Kicking the gun away, Gordon reached down and helped John up. He was grumbling. 'Come to the office with me, Gords. It's boring and nothing ever happens. It will be good to get you off the island…' and so on.
