Sensing the aggression behind her, Carrie tried to run, but it was too late.

Still, Ralph would not give the perpetrator a second chance to hurt Carrie.

He pulled out a gun from his back holster while hooking Carrie in his arms. At the pull of a trigger, he fired at Brian's right arm and left thigh.

Ralph acted swiftly.

It had better be a perfect crime.

Otherwise, Ralph would turn things around.

Brian whimpered in resentment and pain, his knees sinking to the ground.

The police swarmed toward him and cuffed his hand behind his hand. At last, the man who took drastic measures for his daughter was caught.
