Author's Note: Yes, yes, I know Del probably should have grabbed the gun. Or at least tried to. That would have been the logical thing to do, after all. But in his defense, having a gun pulled on you kinda short-circuits logic. That, and well - I never said he was particularly brave, especially when he's out of uniform and not wearing bullet-proof armor.

If those explanations don't work for you, I refer you back to last week's comment. ;)
