Cooper hears more than he sees the bullets and he's not quick enough to avoid all three. One slams into his right shoulder and the other creates a stabbing pain lower down in his chest. The third misses completely. It hurts, but he's experienced pain before. She'll have to do better than that to make him give up completely. His momentum is halted only a moment or two before he draws himself up and slams into her. He's small, so it's not enough to knock her to the ground.

His fingers latch around the gun, forcing it up between the two of them. He's trying to draw it away from Alex, the movement impeded by the fact he can't fully move his right arm. "Let go," he growls out. He moves his head and tries to snap at her wrist with his sharp teeth.
