The Last Shot

It's the same routine every night, and country music superstar Teddy Hayes wouldn't have it any other way. 7:00 pm: Arena doors open and fans fill the stands.7:45 pm: Lights go out and spotlights come on.7:46 pm: Energy from concert-goers reaches an ear-spitting crescendo. 7:47 pm: Teddy takes the stage and begins to sing. But tonight, something is off. It starts when a stage light malfunctions and sends sparks into the air.It continues when his drummer stops playing and stares slack-jawed in Teddy's direction.It dawns on him when a fan doubles-over and a red stain spreads across her shirt. Something isn't just off tonight.Someone in the crowd is shooting a gun.And it's up to a female bodyguard he's never met before to save his life.
