River posted the safety rules for the first time.

SAFETY RULES:

· TREAT ALL GUNS AS IF THEY WERE LOADED

· KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL READY TO FIRE

· BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT’S BEYOND

· ALWAYS WEAR HEARING AND EYE PROTECTION

· NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS BEFORE OR WHILE SHOOTING.

· CHECK IN ALL WEAPONS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RANGE.

[Shooting range is open, but thread with River and Jack locked to them.]

He closed his eyes and breathed deep, both hands wrapped around the gun, until he had control. One more deep breath, and he locked everything down, pushed it away, until he had control again.

Transferring the gun to his left hand, he smoothly and methodically began firing, every shot settling him a little bit more. By the time he'd worked through three clips, he was smiling again.
