It wasn't like he'd completely stopped moving, even with Jack's attempt at melodrama. He knew better than to let him get shot point-blank if he could help it. A shield wasn't much good at that range. The shot glanced off his, and immediately Mordecai began firing back, not wasting time or concentration on talking. That kind of thing wasn't going to make Jack dead any quicker, that was for sure. The double fell easily, and he concentrated his fire on the one he was pretty certain was real.
