Teddy felt the fallen man's breast, but he was not breathing. In any / event there was nothing that could have been done for him. An artery / had been cut by a splinter of the one-pounder shell that had smashed / the roof, and he had bled quietly to death, only trying desperately to / land and get assistance before he died. The sight of Teddy and Davis / sprinting toward him with drawn pistols had been too much for his / hatred, however, and he had fired his automatic at them even as he was / dying. Teddy found Davis lying on the ground with a bullet in his hip.
"I'm all right, Gerrod," said Davis cheerfully when Teddy went to him. / "Just see if there are any more chaps in these houses before you bother / with me."
