Faced with this situation, almost no one could restrain their fear and choose not to run.
Even if he were a prolific serial killer.
This was especially true for someone like Jamie, a murderer who used his hounds to do his killing.
Blake had always insisted Jamie was a spineless coward, precisely because he was different from the other serial killers they'd captured.
The serial killers they'd dealt with before rarely used guns. Most preferred knives or hammers, enjoying killing their targets with their own hands.
In their own words, they liked to watch the life slowly fade from their victims' eyes.
But Jamie was different.
He would choose to strangle his targets, but only after his hounds had chased them down, exhausted their stamina, and mauled them until they were too weak to fight back.
He was all bravado, hiding behind his dogs—a perfect example of being strong on the outside but hollow within.
That's why Jamie got up and ran.
