Hey all,
Long time no see, well 'write' really haha. Apologies for it being a while, been busy with coursework and writing my own novel.
I haven't stopped with my previous story: 'One Bite.' Just taking a little hiatus from it due to some writers block. I have taken your ideas into account but it's just trying to place a chapter together because I don't want it too long or too short. But I will get back to it some day.
But this idea popped into my head so I will start with this. Enjoy.
It was 7pm and Ethan got ready to leave for his 12 hour graveyard shift. Usually he would feel drained at the idea but Lily, Cal and all other people he had gotten close with lately were there as well so he had company. Cal started work an hour before him so he left without Ethan.
Ethan put on his coat, grabbed his bag and shut the door to his flat and began his quiet walk to work. Course it wasn't going to stay quiet for long.
"Please, I will get your money. Just please don't do this!" Ethan heard a man's plea as he continued to walk until the voices got louder.
"I gave you enough chances, Caleb." That was when Ethan stopped in his tracks.
"Cal?" Ethan whispered. "Why would it be Cal? It can't be Cal." Ethan began to think harder. "Taylor's found him!" Ethan followed the voices as until he walked up to an alleyway where he turned his head and saw one male towering over the other one.
"Please, don't do this." The man addressed as Caleb whimpered.
"You have given me no choice, Caleb. Wouldn't want anything to happen to your children now, would you?" The threatening male queried. Ethan sighed in relief to know that it wasn't his brother for definite because he doesn't have children but Ethan still shouldn't walk away from it.
He slowly walked down the alleyway so they couldn't see him, it was pitch black so he had to keep quiet.
"Please no. Not my kids. Please Connor." Caleb pleaded. He was on his knees now. Ethan crept down next to a skip bin.
I'm sorry, Caleb." Connor smiled twistedly as he pulled out a knife and began to stab Caleb repeatedly. Caleb screamed out in pain at every puncture wound. Ethan quickly stood up and ran over.
"Hey! Get off him!" Connor saw Ethan run towards them, he dropped the knife and ran off. Ethan didn't chase after him. He looked down at Caleb as he struggled to breathe. Ethan took off his coat and placed it on Caleb. Accidentally touching the knife in process it Ethan didn't notice.
"Caleb, isn't it? Hey, my name is Ethan. I'm a doctor. Just try and keep awake for me okay?" Ethan spoke as he kneeled down next Caleb. He looked into his bag for his gloves and bandages. He placed on his gloves and put a giant bandaged on the most serious wounds.
"You know, I have a brother called Caleb." Ethan spoke trying to make conversation.
"Is he...a...troublemaker?" Caleb breathed.
"Sometimes." Ethan smiled as did Caleb but his eyes began to shut. "Hey, Hey Caleb." Ethan tapped his face. Caleb's eyes opened slightly. "Come on, stay awake buddy. Help is coming." Ethan spoke as he went to grab his phone but he heard sirens as two police cars pulled up and they ran down the alleyway.
"Thank you. Call for help. He's been stabbed." Ethan spoke.
"Step away from him!" A female police officer demanded.
"What?" Ethan asked, bewildered. "I'm trying to help him!" Ethan almost shouted.
"Step away from him! I won't say again." The police officer demanded again. Ethan slowly stood up and backed away slightly.
"I'm a doctor." Ethan looked down at the officer as she checked Caleb's pulse.
"Call an ambulance!" The female officer spoke to her colleague. She stood up and walked over to Ethan, placing handcuffs on him.
"What are you doing?!" Ethan exclaimed.
"I'm arresting you on suspicion of attempted murder and grievous body harm. You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence." The police officer read Ethan's rights as she took him to the car.
"You can't be serious?" Ethan spoke. "I'm a doctor, I was helping the guy! The real culprit got away. You have to believe me." Ethan outbursts.
"You will have your say at the station." The officer opened the door, placing her hand on Ethan's head and putting him in the car. "Mind your head." Ethan sat in the car and watched out the window as he was being driven away from the scene of the crime whilst other officers stayed there.
"What will Cal say about this?" Ethan thought whilst he looked out the window all the way to the station.
Too be honest, I can't see Ethan being arrested but it was an idea that just popped up. Hope you liked the first chapter. I'll try to update soon! Goodnight : )
