"Wait!"
The neighbor grabbed Blessing's right arm. Jasik leapt through the open side of the slider and pinned Blessing's left.
"Charging to three hundred."
Blessing thrashed, nearly knocking both his captors to the ground. "Goddamn it! The baby—"
"Clear!"
Jasik regained his hold and drove Blessing to his knees, sealing the sergeant's shins to the ground as the paramedics ripped through the final steps of ECG protocol. As they hit three hundred sixty joules—for the third agonizing time—Blessing accepted the inescapable. His wife and child were dead.

A sharp grunt filled the air.
Regan caught the flash of blackened metal as Blessing ripped the 9mm from Jasik's holster. She lunged across the remaining three feet of snow, launching herself at Blessing as the weapon's barrel swung up.
She was too late.
The 9mm's retort reverberated through Regan as she and Blessing smashed into the slider.
