Irish was still in shock, and the bloody scene was lingering in her mind, but the voice of the man above her head pulled her back to reality. She turned around and finally gazed at her hands and said in a trembling voice, "I...I killed people. Joseph, I killed people just now."
She had seen dead people before and even bloodier crime scenes while assisting Jay in investigating the human dismemberment, but she never thought she would ever have to shoot someone someday. She was unsure if the man was dead, but she knew he had bled a lot.
"Isabel, calm down." Joseph knew she was frightened and held her face to look at him, "Look at me. Listen to me."
Irish followed his words, but her eyes were still full of fear.
"We are in South Africa, and you know the public order is in chaos. So remember that you didn't murder anyone, you were protecting yourself. It was self-defense." Joseph said to her firmly.
