MAMACITA: Secrets of San Mar ValleyAfter Leeteuk and Shindong's plan to kill Donghae goes haywire, Heechul is forced to think of a new plan.
MAMACITA
Trouble:
Leeteuk thought Donghae was going to be crushed by that train along with his little girlfriend. They were so close, he braced himself for the impact. He was ready to see those two torn to pieces, but when he saw Donghae jump out of the way, he groaned in anger. Then Donghae and Ryeowook managed to make Shindong defenseless and made him run away.
"You have to do everything yourself," Leeteuk muttered to himself in annoyance. He loaded the shotgun and aimed. Donghae and SoonYee hopped over the tracks, making their way towards Ryeowook and Sungah. Leeteuk knew he wasn't the best at shooting, especially when the target was moving. Not to mention the fact he had Heechul's shotgun. Sure, Heechul would have no problem using a shotgun at such a far range, but Leeteuk knew he would've been better off with a rifle. He took a deep breath and fired, hitting Donghae in the shoulder, just beneath his collarbone.
"Damn it!" Leeteuk focused and fired again. The bullet hit Donghae's head that time, he knew it did. "Yes! Got him!"
Donghae immediately fell to the ground with SoonYee screaming in fear. Heechul would be so happy and proud once he told him the news. The legendary bounty hunter that's been following them around for years was finally dead. He saw Ryeowook spot him in the upper window of the abandoned building and started firing his pistol at him. He quickly ducked out of range, clutching the shotgun in his hands.
"Ryeowook, stop! We need to go!" Sungah shouted. "We need to get him out of the open area now, he's losing blood!"
Ryeowook reluctantly tucked his gun away and helped the girls pick up Donghae, who was completely unconscious.
"What?" Leeteuk thought out loud in disbelief. Donghae was still alive? How could that be? He shot him in the head! Unless... "It grazed him!"
Leeteuk smacked his head a few times, telling himself how stupid he was. Heechul definitely won't be happy once he hears this.

Shindong had his shot hand buried in his jacket and used his other hand to clutch his shot bicep that was on the same arm as his injured hand. He ran to the saloon and the back entrance. His shaking hand struggled to unlock the door and open it. Once he was in the back room, he gave the secret knock for Leenah and Heechul.
"Heechul," Leenah tapped his shoulder, "They're back."
"Oh good." Heechul kissed her cheek to say thank you then entered the back room.
"Boss!" Shindong approached him. "Things-uh, things didn't go as planned."
"What do you mean things didn't go as planned?" Heechul asked. He took notice of Shindong's arm bleeding through his shirt in the low light, "And what the hell happened to you?"
"I was about to take Donghae out like you said, and out of nowhere that Kim Ryeowook showed up and shot me in my hand!"
Shindong took his hand out from his jacket and showed it to him. The bullet had gone clean through the middle of his hand and was covered in blood, dripping down his fingertips.
"Kim Ryeowook?" Heechul chuckled in disbelief, "That scared little kitten who can't even speak to a girl? You're telling me that he shot you?"
"Yes!" Shindong replied, "Then Donghae shot me, I was outnumbered with no weapon so I ran off to come here. I need Leenah to come help stitch me up."
"Wait-" Heechul lifted his index finger so he could think. He comprehended what Shindong was really saying here, "Are you telling me that the bounty hunter is still alive?"
"Leeteuk had your shotgun and was supposed to kill Donghae if I couldn't."
Silence filled the air as Heechul played Shindong's words in his head over and over again. He put both of his hands to his mouth as if he were praying and took a deep breath.
"You trusted Leeteuk, of all people, to aim and shoot a gun? At someone's head?" He said. He thought he composed himself, but when he said it out loud he felt ready to explode, "He can't shoot a still target at point-blank range let alone use a shotgun like it's a damn hunting rifle! If I knew you two were going to fail this badly I would've done it myself!"
"I'm sorry, boss."
"Get out." Heechul grabbed Shindong's shoulders and pushed him back towards the back door. "Right now. Go to my house right now. I'll meet you there."
Heechul left the back room and grabbed Leenah's wrist, pulling her out of the saloon with him.
"Heechul, what are you doing?" Leenah tried to take his hand off of her wrist. "Where are we going?"
"Home."
"What's going on?"
Heechul didn't answer. He continued to pull her along to their house. As soon as he opened the door to their home, he saw Leeteuk standing in the middle of the room.
"Hey, cousin!" Leeteuk grinned. He set the shotgun down and waved nervously to Heechul. Heechul was always angry with him, he was used to that. However, he felt so angry at him in this moment that where he didn't feel like he could keep it at bay anymore. There was no one better to take it out on than the moron in front of him. He let go of Leenah and stomped towards Leeteuk, immediately punching him in the face. Leenah gasped while she watched Heechul beat down his older cousin onto the floor and pinned him there.
"Heechul, stop it!" Leenah shouted, backing up to the wall so she wouldn't be in harm's way. Heechul wasn't listening, which didn't surprise her. Shindong finally made it to the house and saw Heechul fighting Leeteuk with Leenah watching in fear.
"Are you all right?" Shindong asked Leenah.
"I'm fine. Just stop him." Leenah pointed to Heechul continuing to beat Leeteuk's face in.
"Okay, break it up, guys!" Shindong intervened and pulled a struggling Heechul away from a bleeding Leeteuk. "Boss, calm down!"
"Tell me, Leeteuk! Did you kill him?" Heechul asked Leeteuk who tried standing up and wiping his bloody lip. "Answer me, you idiot! Is Donghae dead, yes or no?"
"I shot him twice," Leeteuk replied. "The second bullet got his head."
"So he's dead then?"
Leeteuk gave an awkward smile, "Not exactly."
Heechul hissed, "Not exactly?"
"I think the
