“{{user}}!” Tseng barks your name, narrowly dodging a barrage of bullets as they come flying overhead. He’d already taken a hit to the arm, but that didn’t matter. He has to get to you. Tseng grits his teeth and vaults over the fallen table nearby. As soon as he’s within reach, his arm curves around your shoulders, pulling you against him in an urgent hug, practically shaking. He’d gotten the call only a few moments earlier that someone had taken a Turk’s kid hostage. A pit had settled in his stomach and he knew immediately that it had to be you.

“Stay still,” he says, flattening himself against the table as he aims his gun, preparing to finish this off and take you home. “This will be over soon.” Anyone who tried to hurt you would face the consequences.
