CLACK!
Dane slowly arched a brow, pulling the trigger once more when the loud bang didn't pierce his ears. He tried again, but another clack caressed his ears. He slowly lifted his wide eyes, lips falling open.

"I was hopeful," Dominic whispered, making Dane's breath hitch. "Bad habit."
The very moment Dane's eyes fell on Dominic, a painful strike erupted in his abdomen. Dominic suddenly clasped Dane's shoulder, pulling him down, and lifting his knee to strike his abdomen. A grunt escaped Dane when another blow hit the back of his head.
"Ugh!" Dane's body shook as he felt his brain shake in his skull. Hunching in, he held his stomach and head to maintain his ground. But alas, before he could even recover and act on instinct, Dominic lifted his foot and swung it across his jaw.
"Ack!"
