My Brother's Keeper
Chapter 9
The future is bright
As Paul pulled Scott underneath him, he heard the gun go off but didn't know if he was shot or not. He felt a sharp pain in his side and heard Scott moaning so he rolled him over. "Oh shit!" Paul mumbled. It turned out that Scott was shot right in the chest. Paul looked over at him and then back at Shawn and kid who witnessed the whole thing. Scott stared at Paul with anger in his eyes holding his chest, "You son of a bitch! You shot me!" Scott yelled trying to get up. "Well you got what you deserved! Now you're going to jail where you belong!" Paul told him holding his side.
Shawn saw the look in Paul's eyes! "Paul are you okay?" He asked him. Paul nodded, "Yeah I'm fine!" He told him waving for the security and police to come to the ring. Scott couldn't move or get away which gave all the guys some relief considering everything they had went through.
As they all left the ring, Paul noticed Kid was very quiet. "Hey buddy you alright? You haven't said much of anything since we left the ring." Paul told him. Sean nodded, "Yeah I'm fine! Let's just get you to a hospital and get checked out alright!" He told him as they walked towards the parking lot. Paul nodded as he, Shawn, and Kid drove to the hospital.
As Paul was getting checked out by the doctors and making sure no harm was done to his injuries. Shawn sat in the waiting room thinking about all that had happened. He knew that no matter what his friends would be there for him and he would be there for them. Even though Scott used their friendship to his advantage to get what he wanted and almost succeeded, until Kevin came to his senses.
"Now the future is bright and we don't have to look over our shoulders anymore..." Shawn came out of his thoughts when he heard Paul call his name.
"Hey Shawn you ready? Why are you crying, it was just a little cut!" Paul told him sitting next to him. Shawn looked up and smiled, "I know buddy! I know come on let's go!" Shawn told him. Paul nodded as they headed for the entrance, "Where's kid?" Paul asked. Before Shawn could answer Kid drove up in front of them with Kevin in the front seat, "Well are you two coming or what? I'm starving!" Kid asked them. Shawn and Paul both looked at each other and nodded, "Yeah let's go but where are the women?" Shawn asked them. "Meeting us at the restaurant! If we don't hurry we might end up with a doggy bag!" Kid told them as Paul and Shawn got in the backseat and drove to the restaurant.
"Here's to us! Friendship, Family, and most importantly to brothers. Let us not forget what has happened but to also look towards the future because the future is bright!" Shawn told them making a toast.
Everyone nodded as they put there glasses up in the air. Everything was back to normal, Kevin got his friendship back with guys even though, it'll be awhile before they fully trust him again but until then just being there friends was all that mattered.
Meanwhile down in Jacksonville, Florida at the correctional prison. Scott Hall had just been sentenced for 25 to life with no chance of parole. "Enjoy your stay Scott! You're gonna be here for a long time!" the officer told him.
As for Paul he finally got to enjoy his retirement by doing the only thing that was important and that was enjoy life and spend as much time as possible with his girls, his wife, his family and mostly his best friends. Because you never know when you'll be looking death in the face and your whole life flash before your eyes.
