Shadow Touch (2011)
“Laurence said, kneeling at his side. “She’ll be fine.”
“She’s bleeding, you son of a bitch,” Cam answered, his only dress shirt pressed to her shoulder. The rest of sweet Ellie was slack, her head turned to the side, lips parted as if asleep while warm blood flowed from her wound. The reality of what he had done made him sick. “Does that look like fine to you?”

Cam couldn’t believe he’d fired, but what else could he have done? She’d seemed to be okay, her shadow and body together as one, but then the shadow had leaped out of Ellie like a black jungle cat after its prey.
