Anyone Else Surprised or Disappointed That Harry

He selected the smallest caliber that would get the job done and used and AP round so it would cause minimum damage. If he wanted Harry dead it would have been a 50cal incendiary round. Instead of small hole in, small hole out and even small hole in wall behind, it would have been small hole in and back half of torso splattered against the wall behind.

Well, it also put a small hole in his heart.. I wouldn't be shocked if Ivy tipped off Mab so she'd be waiting in the water to catch Harry, lower the water temperature around him as well as his body temperature. Not unlike when open heart surgery is performed, so if he was still living when he hit the water, she made sure he'd stay living.. She still almost lost though because of Uriel's stunt. However it might have been Uriel that nudged the bullet ever so slightly so it wouldn't be fatal.

LOL People still say that don't they!! I haven't heard that in years! Read that and actually laughed out loud! Thanks for that! My grandfather told me that way back when he was teaching me to hunt. I was trying to hit this tin can on the opposite bank across a stream waaayyy out back on my grandparent's farm but not having much luck. He had corrected my sitting posture and was working on my breathing when he said that. A couple of shots latter I holed the can and spent the next two days strutting around like a rooster spouting "Aim small, hit small" every chance I got. Dad quickly got tired of it though. Good times!!!!
My life doesn't permit me to read every scrap JB puts out about DF. Clearly JB has memorialized that Ivy [Harry's friend] had made arrangements with Mab [the evil Fae queen that Harry is DESPERATE to get away from] for Kincaid [the assassin Harry contracted to kill Mab's new Winter Knight] to shoot Harry through the heart [a more survivable injury than through the head] so he can fall into the lake where Mab [the evil Fae queen that Harry is DESPERATE to get away from] can save him and then [after 6 months of Harry being literally at death's door] she can take him to the center of her power where he is completely under her control while he recovers from the most compromised physical [and maybe mental] state he probably has ever been in. Guys, I think this part of the conversation has jumped it's shark.
The_Sibelis - Thank you sincerely for the much needed chuckle today.

StrayDog, well, whenever you have time, read "Goodbye". Is a microfiction, it's in the official JB site and it saves you discussion time. In fact, here is the link, just move pass the trailer announcement.

Also, I understand. I have not read Zoo Day, for instance (no money to buy Brief Cases) or the comics (same reason).
