Over Her Head (Johnny)

Since being brought back to life in York, Jo had hunted all manner of creatures. There had been a lot of things that went bump in the night to keep her busy.

With all that said, in Jo's experience it was always the humans gone nuts that were the scariest. For one, they were never rational. Monsters behaved in set patterns. In specific ways. There were humans that would do things so depraved that were beyond imagination. And worse than the unpredictability, humans were supposed to be better than that.

Which was why she was caught as offguard as the cashier behind the counter when the Bonnie and Clyde wannabes that had entered the all-night grocery store pulled out their guns and started threatening people to get the cashier to empty the drawers.

Jo had done her best to stay out of sight and had tried to sneak up on the pair in an attempt to help out to make sure no one got hurt. Instead, she'd been spotted and shot. She was able to duck out of the way so that the bullet struck her upper arm instead of her heart, but all the same she was not in any shape to do anything else as she kept her head low and tried to rush through the aisles, her hand clamped over the gushing bullet hole.

The couple was now a little more frantic as the woman kept her gun trained on the cashier, barking orders and the man started to chase after Jo. Jo's mind raced, trying to find a way to get out of the situation and make sure no one else got hurt, but she was coming up blank at the moment.
