234 chapter (Two Hundred) Thirty three: Target

" You won't always have this with you but it can get really loud, so for your first time I think you should use this." Leo handed him a pair of noise canceling headphones.

Thiago took it from him, putting it on. He got into position next, the gun clutched with both hands in front of him. Anxiety had him by the throat and seemed to be choking the life out of him. His hands that gripped the gun shook but he tried to hide it, not wanting Leo to notice how nervous he truly was. Damien's words still buzzed in his head like a swarm of angry bees, unclear and disconcerting. He shook his head to clear the sudden brain fog.

Leo scrutinized Thiago's stance, shaking his head slightly.

" The force of the recoil can be disorienting and knock you off balance depending on the gun. Stand with your legs slightly apart and with your feet planted firmly to the ground, it will help you manage the recoil of the gun." Leo continued and Thiago did just as he was told.
