I always think it's strange when guys have a racist libido. I have to admit that I have preferences, but no strong dislikes. Like, east african women -- Etheopia, Sudan, Somalia -- I don't particularly enjoy their features. But then again, they've got Iman.

As the shot rings out, Jon bolts from cover and sprints towards the road, crosses it and dives in cover along side the road. Laying face down he gives himself two seconds to feel. Feel his body. No sharp pains? Good. Tiger crawl. Trench work. I can do this.

Jon, sitting behind the bus, got a fairly a good idea now of where the shooter was and hadn't seen any signs of other gunmen. He decided to move along the bus, away from the rest of the group, always keeping the bus between himself and the shooter.

Jon sets his feet underneath him firmly and slips his open book underneath his shirt. He didn't know what else to do at this time.
