A second. Okay, that explains it. David hates this. But his weapons are as fast as a thought, so he raises one toward the new Jonas. It's up fast.

It's not up fast enough. Fast enough would have stopped the thing dead. As it was, he calculated the angle wrong and wasn't fast and so the bullet deflect, but still hits him some. A shot cutting through the meat of his thigh, and David hisses. The pain is bad.

He's been through worse.
