If You Dare Ch 10
Sasori and Deidara looked out the window and seen Pein and Kakuzu take a bullet. Deidara almost screamed until Sasori put a hand over his mouth to keep him quiet. Deidara looked at Sasori panic and tears were in his eyes.
Sasori motioned for them to get out of the skylight as Pein had instructed them to do. Sasori pushed Deidara to the window and they climbed out and down the side of the building. Deidara burst into frantic tears and Sasori grabbed his arm dragging him to the car.
They hopped in and Sasori jammed the key into the ignition. He started the car and jammed it into gear. He pulled out onto the street and rapidly drove away from the warehouse district. He pulled out his cell phone and called 911.
He relayed that two of his friends had been shot and that the gang who did it may still be there and that they were the only ones who were armed. Dispatch sent out an ambulance and police cruisers right away.
Sasori pulled over on the side of the road and gave them the address to the warehouse and hung up the phone. He grabbed Deidara and pulled him into his lap. He held the hysterical blond and rocked him as he patted his back.
He hoped the ambulance and the cops would get there soon. He hoped that Pein and Kakuzu would be okay. He hoped that this nightmare would be over and that they could go back to their lives before these bastards had made a mess of things.
Deidara calmed down although still shaky. Sasori slid him off of his lap and put the car back into gear. He turned around and drove back to the warehouse district. He made sure to stay out of sight. The warehouse was surrounded by cops and two ambulances.
A fire truck was there and rescue volunteers took up most of the street. An Officer saw his car and waved him on. He nodded and drove away from the scene. He drove home to the mansion and helped Deidara out of the car.
He took him in the house and laid him down on the couch. He covered him up with a blanket and pulled out his phone. He called Itachi to try to get some information. Itachi answered and gave a quick reply.
"Not right now Sasori. Call me back in fifteen minutes." He hung up the phone and Sasori hung up his. He sat down and tried to calm his nerves. He found himself watching the clock and getting frustrated.
Fifteen minutes takes forever when it is something that is as bad as this. He could swear an hour had passed and it had only been five minutes. He sighed and laid his head on the back of the chair. He closed his eyes and tried to think of anything but time.
Deidara lay on the couch, tears running silently down his face as he stared blankly off into space. Sasori figured he was in shock and it would be best to let him work through it. He wanted to grab him and shake him and tell him to snap out of it.
Instead he let the blond rest and he just kept glancing at the time. Finally after fourteen minutes not fifteen he called Itachi again. Itachi answered right away. "Itachi what is going on down there? I need to know." Sasori said urgently.
"Well they took Pein and Kakuzu to the hospital and Hidan and Konan went with them. We are still being questioned by the police. How are you guys? Is everything okay?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah were okay. We are going to go to the hospital and see how they are." He said hanging up his phone. Itachi hung his up and sat down next to Kisame as the cops continued to question them.
Sasori got up and walked over to Deidara. "Come on we are going to the hospital to see how Pein and Kakuzu are." He said. Deidara stayed in the exact same position he was in. His eyes never blinked and he never even moved. His tears had dried and he now looked empty.
Sasori shook his shoulder and nothing happened. He looked into his eyes and it was as if the blond were looking right through him. Sasori cursed as he picked up the blond and drove to the hospital.
He drove to the emergency room and carried him in. A nurse brought a wheelchair over and asked what the problem was. He explained that two of their friends had been shot in front of them tonight and he had been like this ever since.
They wheeled him into a room and had Sasori undress him and get him into a gown. He did as instructed and then laid the blond down in the bed. He covered him up and sat next to the bed waiting for the ER doctor to come and examine him.
An hour later the ER doctor showed and examined him. He made a few assessments and then diagnosed him. He was in a state of shock that made his nervous system go kaput. He told Sasori it could be hours days or months before he recovered.
It was up to Deidara to want to come back to the real world. He basically called it post traumatic stress syndrome and Deidara was blocking out the bad and closing himself off in a bubble to protect himself from the truth.
The doctor left to check on other patients and Sasori began to cry for the first time that night. He was supposed to be strong but this was a night from hell that wouldn't be easily forgotten any time soon.
Kisame, Itachi, Zetsu and Tobi drove into the hospital parking lot. They had picked up Pein and Kakuzu's cars and drove them there as well. They walked into the emergency entrance and asked about Pein and Kakuzu. The nurse said she had no information at the moment.
They looked down the hall and spotted Konan and Hidan sitting in the waiting area. Hidan had his head between his knees and Konan sat staring at the floor as tears ran down her cheeks. They all went to the duo and began hugging them.
"They say that Pein took a bullet to the chest and that it missed his heart but it got his lung. He is in surgery right now." Konan said. They all gasped and shook their heads in dismay.
"Kakuzu took a bullet to a major artery in his leg and he is in surgery as well so they can stop the bleeding." Hidan said. He looked up at the ceiling praying to any god right now that would listen to make Kakuzu okay.
