2. Not a nitpick, but a little friendly advice on "Dirty" Nabsy: A .357
Magnum shot from close range would probably shatter Cologne's shoulder
blade. She will not be able to use her right arm, and the bone fragments
will cause extreme pain and internal hemorraghing in the muscle tissue
around the wound, possibly even causing damage to her right lung. I'd
say that unless Cologne has any sorcery left up her sleeve, she is
effectively a non-combatant at this point.

  I don't think it was a close range shot.  If Nabiki is properly trained
in the use of a firearm, then she wouldn't have walked up to Cologne.  Why
bother getting close when you can kill from a distance, especially
considering how dangerous Cologne actually is?  Of course, this depends on
what your definition of "close" is for a .357.  The story didn't really
mention exactly
how much of a distance there was between Nabiki and Cologne.

  Aside from that, good story!
