They're pretty close together, I doubt if Kit would get off more than one shot before Jeanne is on top of her. If Kit misses, or fails to fire, she's in big trouble. She'd have to be pretty flustered, though, to miss at this range, or to miss her chance to shoot. Jeanne does have her worked up, but I wouldn't think she'd count on it.

So maybe she knows something Kit doesn't know. Like she has a sniper positioned nearby, or she's got some anti-bullet magic, or something.

This better not turn into How I Killed Your Ass.

edit: I cannot wait to see Jeanne's Bullshit Kung Fu. No sarcasm, really. Seriously!

In real life, at that range most self-defense instructors advise you to duck and swoop in to deflect the gun for the best chance to avoid being shot. But in real life, there aren't gunslingers who can shoot the thumbs off three gunmen and/or the hammer off their weapon before any of them gets a shot off.

Oh she's FAST.
Probably hits like a freighttrain too.

So basically a superlative Lightning Bruiser.

And of course Kit is all fresh and ready for a fight, having done nothing this morning but get kicked around by giant vampire zombies.

Yeah but it's Kit who thought she could take Jeanne and its not as bad for her as it would be for a human. She's supposed to regenerate faster than other pinkies (do the pinkies have another name?).

And we know how fast Kit is. Killed a guy with is own gun in midair. I guess she wanted to go for speed instead precision for Jeanne but apparently she is even faster.

Yup, saw this comin'.

Woman doesn't carry a gun, is built like a damn tank, and has no fear of someone as skilled as Kit. It was kinda obvious those muscles weren't for show.

Still, Jeanne was on top of Kit so fast she broke the damn sound barrier! Holy fuck!

Something else I've noticed about Jeanne, she doesn't seem to have a western/southern accent, and she's very well-spoken. If you had to place her accent when you hear her speak in your head, Matt, what would it be?

Also, I know she's a ruthless killer, but She seemed cordial enough to offer Kit up a chance for escape, forgiving even the opportunity kit had to shoot her from behind. I'd say she's very honourable for someone of her reputation... she doesn't strike me as the type to have Kit shot in the manner that she was. Her remark to the accusation was more a "I see..." as in "I see, you think I had you shot." than a "I see, Yeah, that was me. Totally did it."

As I said: Jeanne is the bullet.

Jeanne is relatively sophisticated and her accent would be of a Southern variety, but with a far less twang than Kit's.
