I must admit with the Doyle she describes I was thrown out of the story and had to fight to get in again. I think he might be shocked for two or maybe three seconds when he gets there at the moment the bomb blow up, but not when he arrives at a bomb field. At that moment he knows what to expect and his training would rule his body and mind. The knees like water might come afterwards, when the adrenalin flow is ebbing down.
And Bodie the Super-Hero again, who jumps out of the car and into the fiasko without thinking or hesitation. But at the other hand Bodie isn't able to comfort a dying man, which Doyle can do without thinking about it? That doesn't fit for me, even if Doyle's reaction is the reaction I would expect from him.
I know from first hand experience that your brain stops telling you what to do when there is a situation with hurt people. You don't think or hesitate, you're going to help. The shock comes later, so it was ok that Doyle is sitting next Brunswick church without knowing how he got there. That was very realistic.
What doesn't sound right to me is his behavior when he sees Gabe or a man he thinks is Gabe. His behavior reminds me of a Barbara Cartland heroine. Blah.
