Chapter Three (C): Jake & Thorchan

(OOC: I choose option C, there are too many variable factors to be sure of winning.)

Jake coughed harshly, trying to startle the man into freezing as the would-be killer readied his gun. He recognized that it was critical to interrupt him and hold his attention on anything but the gruesome task at hand. He retained the appearance of being electrocuted, keeping his voice barely above a whisper now as he continued to speak. "Three years...a long time to wait to pop a helpless victim from behind," he rasped. "But then I s...suppose that doesn't matter to someone like you...does it."
His vision still a little blurry, he concentrated on his surroundings with furtive glances. Gotta find something to use, he thought to himself. Some way to get an edge...For now, he was stalling for time.
"This is a half-assed plan if I ever saw one," he mumbled.
