Uncharted Waters
Disclaimer: S.O.S…different day.
A/N: This is where I wanted to get to…so let the drama begin.
School started as usual. Every morning John would call her on the way to work. He made her day go just that much better. Opilio season started so the calls didn't come in everyday but Charlie figured that he would call when he could.
John finally called Charlie on Tuesday morning while she was at work.
"Hey babe. Are you busy?" the cheerful voice on the other end of the phone asked her.
"Not really! I am so glad you called. I have a few minutes before my break is over and my next class starts to come in."
"I just wanted to hear your voice and tell you we will be off loading in St. Paul tonight so I will call you back than."
"That sounds wonderful! I miss you John. And I love you."
"I love you too babe. I will talk to you tonight." Charlie hung up the phone and headed toward the door of her classroom. She heard a fight breaking out in the hall. She walked out just as a student screamed "GUN!"
Charlie turned toward the scream and felt a burn in her left shoulder. Then she heard a loud pop and felt her left thigh become warm and wet. She looked down and saw blood coming from her body. The blood from her thigh was pouring out fast and pooling on the floor beside her. She looked up at the student that shot her and fell to the floor unconscious.
