Joyce counted within her mind that if Luther had knocked down one of the killers with the shot earlier, and now she just knocked down another…
Then there were still four of them left, including Ricky.
She still had one last bullet, which must be used in the most critical moment and must not be wasted.
Now that Ricky had just lost two of his men for no reason, he was infuriated. He just could not believe it that there were so many of them and they could not deal with a mere Joyce?
Right now Luther was here too.
He sneered sadistically, "Luther, it seems like you are also quite tired of your life! You can just stay here forever!"
"Ricky, you have no hope today. The police will be here soon! Put down your gun and give up, and the Heath family may be able to save your life."
Luther bellowed sternly.
"Joke, no need for you to worry about me. I will make sure you won’t be able to see that."
Ricky laughed wildly, and then, fired several shots toward Luther.
Luther was agile with his movements and dodged behind the boulder.
Bullets hit the reef and there were brilliant sparks.
Joyce thought to herself that no matter how dangerous the situation could be today, she must not shoot Ricky to death.
Because, once Ricky was dead, he would not be able to talk and she would never have a chance to find out the truth.
Charlotte could put all the blame on Ricky, and she was still the innocent Miss Heath.
This was not what she wanted.
She got only one bullet left, and she must keep it until the end.
But it's too hard to hit Ricky. He's too cunning and got no weakness.
She hoped Luther could take care of himself, because she really didn’t have the time to pay attention to him.
"Let's all go together and make it quick. You guys deal with him and I'll deal with Joyce myself. She's almost out of bullets, so don't be afraid of her."
