"Why do you have to cause so much trouble?" Alec blamed him letting his voice break the silence as everyone seemed to be recovering from the shock.

"It would have been better if you had just gotten hit by the bullet, that way we didn't have to pay for your foolishness." Alice snapped at him in irritation.

"Are… you okay?" Lucy asked hesitantly as she gazed at him with widened eyes. She was about to walk towards him when Alec pulled her back.
