Trading Yesterday – Shattered.
The gunshot caught her in the gut, just under her vest. Mia felt the world sway as the pain erupted in her stomach. The world was slipping from her grasp and she barely felt the impact of the concrete undernath her as the blast from the Glock knocked her completely off of her feet. Her body was trembling she could feel the blank state of shock beginning to set in as she lay there staring at the ceiling. The darkness twinging at the edges of her vision.
She didn't deserve this, she thoughtful as her hand moved as if on it's own to cover the wound. She remembered it from basic first aid training.
Keep pressure on the wound, try to stop yourself from spilling your life all over the concrete. The rush of sound hit her all at once, she couldn't bring herself to bear it. There were voices shouts, mutters and sirens, she was rigid with pain. The blood was warm and thick as it trailed down her fingers. She had never been in this much pain before, she could feel something hot trailing down her cheeks and realized she was in fact crying.
Mia sucked in a deep breath through her teeth , it sounded like a hiss. There was hand smoothing through her hair as she lay still. Another hand covered her own over the wound it was reassuring knowing she was not alone.
