Empyre glanced over her shoulder in time to see the man lower his pistol. He had fired a shot at her target. This was very strange to her. Maybe he was going to try and take this girl in for whatever money she was worth. But atleast now she had an advantage, and she wasn't about to let another bounty hunter mess with her prey.
Empyre forced her legs to move faster. The gangster was just as fast as her, but now she was slowing down. Empyre grew close enough that she could almost reach out and grab the girls clothes. Taking a deep breath, she threw herself foward, grabbing hold of the girl and tackling her to the ground.
Empyre struggled to wrestle the gun out of the girls hand. Once she had disarmed the gangster, she wrenched the girl violently to her feet, and pulled her behind an alley way and out of the other bounty hunters line of fire.
