"Nyet!"

Lev threw his weight against the girl, Knocking her back towards the street as he took two shots directly to his front. In the heat of the moment his free hand found the hammer of his revolver, fanning it as shot after shot rang out. He stumbled back the way he had pushed the girl, sinking both in to the angry swarm of people that pressed in all directions after gunfire had been heard. He ducked low as he pushed her along, free hand pressing against one of his wounds. He needed something to divert their assailants.

With two more shots, Lev fired his pistol into the crowd towards the alley, sending a swarm of fleeing people towards it. In such chaos, there would be no way for them to follow in the streets.
