Archie

Carrie Hunter was at the end of her rope. Her brother's gambling debts left her owing hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was now dead, but somehow, the loansharks he owned money to were going after her. She would rather eat a bullet than live in that kind of fear. The thugs were in the diner to collect... Archie and his brother Nash just happened to be grabbing a pizza at the diner. Well, Archie was grabbing a pizza, and Nash decided to hone in on his dinner. Nash informed him that the place was being robbed, and everyone was going to die except the manager, and she'd be left alive just to suffer... The beautiful woman had a gun in her mouth, ready to pull the trigger. Archie thought he'd talked her out of it. He did leave her, but he wasn't sure that he'd be staying away. She was a spitfire, and he wanted to get to know her. Before he was to the dining area again, it hit him like a ton of bricks. He'd just met his mate. Turning to go back and talk to her more, he heard the sound of a gunshot before he reached her office.
