Vladya had shrugged slightly at the comment about hitting the brain stem, he'd been hoping for part of the brain or spine, but he hadn't wanted to go for a full-out head shot for fear of hitting the scientist.
All four bullets were roughly within the same area, though. Four nine millimeters embedded in the thick, tough skin and parts of the skull. He'd been willing to bet that he'd be able to get his target within four tries, even with all the wild thrashing.
He had gotten lucky.
Vladislav remained silent for the most part, but when one of them talked about framing the trousers for Gurlukovich he spoke up. "Or you could get a pair of crocodile boots for him." The scaly hide was tough, and would probably offer a good deal of protection.
It would be a pity to let such a wonderful example of predatory reptile go to waste, though. The crocodile certainly looked pretty large and meaty. It would probably taste a lot better than anything they served up at Groznyj Grad, and Vladya was lamenting the fact that they'd have to just leave the beautiful reptile there.
