Confronting

I kept running till I was at the beach. After a minute, everyone else came back with fear on their faces. The boy is like a wild animal. The footsteps of the boy started as a faint noise and got louder and louder. Each step taken scared the other troops more and more.
I pulled out my gun and pointed it toward the noise and saw the boy jump out of the forest. He landed on both his hands and feet. He paused for a sec and stood up and looked at us.
“Who are you?” I asked with a threatening gesture as if I was going to shoot if he didn’t answer.
“I am the guardian of this island and a bounty hunter.” The boy took out a gun, but one of this hands is behind him.
What was he grabbing for?
Someone from behind and shot at the boy.
I yelled, “HOLD YOUR FIRE !”
The boy didn’t even flinch. It was like he didn’t care if he died.
“What is your name?” I asked.
“Name?” he said and laughed at us like it was a joke. “I don’t have a name.” He pointed and shot the guy who tried to kill him. The guy fell to the floor
What now?
