"Hey, Redeye doesn't have any standing warrants on him right now," Tom says frowning at the long tear in James' coat. It looks like the bullet grazed, and was partly hit the edge of a buckle on his braces and the bulk of a waistcoat. "You should probably press something on there to slow the bleeding, James -"
James winces. "And now I'm feeling it. Shock I guess. I'm just an accountant, officer, and - that stings, Tom."
Tom's fishing out a handkerchief. "I think that's it on the ground. A bit lopsided. I think your braces braced you." Tom crouches down to point out the bullet and there's another report as something hits the bricks above his head.
