     One time, to prove it, she even   
asked me to spin her around a couple   
times while blindfolded, and she still 
hit the fucking things dead center.    
     Other people don’t believe me when
I tell them either, and this kind of   
pisses Beth off a little, because she  
knows that now, she’s gonna have to put
on a show.                             
     What surprises people the most    
isn’t the blindfold, it’s how fast she 
can draw, and the fact that she fires  
both guns from the hip.                
     The first time I saw her do it, I 
simply couldn’t believe it either. She 
had her hands down by her side, and    
then, I swear to God, the guns magic-  
ally appeared just as she fired.       
     Even when I’ve replayed it later, 
I couldn’t see where they were coming  
from, and I know where she hides them. 
     When we go out on our patrols,    
even our daily ones, she always carries
two guns with her instead of just one. 
She even showed me how to shoot them.  
     “In case I need you to back me up 
some time, Captain.”                   
     I didn’t even argue with her, and 
I can shoot semi-ok, but nothing even  
close to what Beth can do.             
     I’ve also seen her, with one      
motion, flip both guns and shoot back- 
wards. Both of them also hitting dead  
center, except, I’ve never seen you do 
that one blindfolded, babe.            
     She also knows how to break all   
her guns down, clean them, and reas-   
semble them. That, I’ve seen her do    
blindfolded.                           
     We even have all the equipment she
needs to make her own ammunition, but  
I’ve already explained that part.      
     Myself, I didn't like guns,       
especially being shot by one, but I    
have to admit that I felt safer when   
she was around, and I didn't worry as  
much when she wasn't.                  
     The patrols always lasted from    
eleven until two in the morning. Half- 
way through, Beth and I would switch   
hot spots, unless she had to leave on a
call.                                  
     It was our way of making sure each
area got looked at with fresh eyes, in 
case either of us missed something.    
     She always thought we were the    
only ones doing these patrols.         
     This Friday was going to be the   
end of all that. The end of every      
single secret I've ever kept from her, 
but how do I do that without also      
losing her?
