You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Suddenly, Joyce's eyes widened and she reached out to block the light from Karl's phone. Under the bridge, it was already pretty dark. The bright light from the cell phone would cause a certain contrast and might easily expose them.

She heard an unusual movement.

Although it was a little far away, she just clearly heard the sound of a heavy weapon hitting the ground. A heavy weapon. Ricky was carrying a heavy weapon. She immediately understood how dangerous their situation was and she subconsciously pressed her hand on the gun handle.
