After everything , you're still pulling this shit ! " " You hurt Vincent ! You're fucking dead ! " She whipped around to the soldiers , voice cracking with hysteria . " Are you all brain - dead ? You let this psycho touch him ! " " Kill this bitch right fucking now ! If anything happens to Vincent , I'll have you all whacked !
