She'd heard the scuffle, and come running, since she'd been out patrolling anyway. As she turned a corner, Dawn brought the crossbow up as she took a quick look at the scene. A really tall guy was fighting three other people, all of whom had black eyes, which almost immediately told her they were like the bad guys. Feeling somewhat confident in her judgement, she waited for an opening, then squeezed the trigger and shot a bolt at one of the men as he was about to sneak up on the taller guy. It took him in the shoulder, and Dawn was already moving forward, the crossbow bumping against her hip as she pulled a knife out of her jacket pocket.
