Dr. Bill Welker

Bette Johnna “Johnsy” Raines was a typical middle school girl whose parents were well-to-do. On a family vacation to Philadelphia, Johnsy’s life was tragically changed when she witnessed the murder of her parents by carjackers.

Taken in by her only relatives, Johnsy was filled with anger and guilt. By the advice of her uncle, Johnsy went out for the girls’ wrestling team, a physical outlet for her frustrations. To Johnsy’s surprise, she later learns of her very unique and amazing ability as a sharpshooter.

A compassionate, loving adolescent, Johnsy is also a fierce competitor on the mats and blows away the opposition on the rifle range.

Over the years, Johnsy emotionally struggles with guilt over her parents’ murders. Furthermore, she always knew the perpetrators. And with her exceptional marksman skills, it was time for retribution.

You be the judge of her final decision.
