Chapter 26: MGK, the Hollywood Whore part 3
The two stopped running and fell to the floor. Rae looked behind her, the coast was clear, for the most part. "That, was close," she mumbled, "how you holding up Bronny?" Bronny lay on the floor, still clutching his stomach, "I got shot, and you really want to ask me how I'm doing?" Rae rolled her eyes, "you know, a thank you can go a long way," she said, "you'd be dead if I didn't use my Viva la Vada." "If you didn't go running off, we wouldn't-" Bronny paused. "wait, use your what?" "Viva la Vada," said Rae, "that is the name of my Stand, it's what helped us escape." Bronny slowly sat up, "I didn't see your Stand, how could you have used it?" Rae shook her head, "not all Stands are humanoid figures." She pulled out a paintbrush and showed it to Bronny, "this is my Stand." Bronny stared blankly at the paintbrush, "a-are you serious?" "Quite actually," she said, "I can change the color of the paint subconsciously, each color does something different, but that's for me to know."
She moved over to Bronny and kneeled down, she lifted his shirt to see the wound. "H-hey," wined Bronny, "be a little gentle, that shit still hurts." Rae smirked and put her hands to her face, pretending to cry, "oh boo hoo, man up," she teased, "I got shot in the shoulder, you don't see me crying." She took her Viva la Vada out and stroked Bronny's wound with it, "the color blue is for reducing damages, it won't heal your wound, but it won't hurt you anymore." Rae grabbed Bronny's hand and pulled him up, "what's the plan boss man?" She said, nudging him in the side, "we should re-group with Jolyne and the others, MGK won't be able to fight against five on one." Bronny took his phone out, he saw that there was no signal, "no signal…" He muttered, "there's no way to contact them, we're just gonna have to walk until we find them." Rae nodded and skipped on her heels behind Bronny. "So, about Jolyne," Rae began, "you two must be close." Bronny scratched the back of his neck, "yeah, I guess you could say that," he said, "we've known each other ever since I moved here." Rae giggled slightly, "what's so funny?" Bronny asked, "you must be in love with her." Bronny's eyes widened at her answer, "w-what! No no, I don't…" Rae raised her eyebrows, giving an extremely smug look to Bronny. Bronny turned away, blushing, "I mean, I care about her, j-just not like that, I, uhm…" Rae snickered under her breath, "oh, its ok Bronny, we have a job to do, we shouldn't lose focus on this." Bronny sighed, "yeah, lets."
No signal, "come on…" No signal. Jolyne sighed and threw her phone on the ground. "They've been gone for a long time," Noel said, "I hope they're ok…" Joshua stood up from the floor and pace, "we can't stay here for long, we need to move," he said. "But, what about Bronny and Rae?" Noel asked, "they will be fine, trust me," replied Joshua, "come on, let's go." Noel and Jolyne looked at each other and sighed, walking behind Joshua. "Hey Jolyne," Noel said, "what?" "Is this guy related to you or something?" She asked, "I've seen that tattoo on your neck and you both have one, just asking." Jolyne rolled her eyes, "it's not a tattoo," she mumbled, "it's a birthmark, and yeah, we're related, I don't know how, but he shares my blood, that's all I know." Noel sighed in relief, "good, cause he's kinda hot, I thought you might be falling for him." Jolyne turned to Noel, raising an eyebrow, "only you would think that Noel," she said, "besides, if I'm gonna choose someone to be with, I'd chose better." "Who, like Bronny?" Jolyne's face reddened, "B-Bronny?" She stuttered, "n-no, nothing like him, I mean yeah, we're friends, but that doesn't mean I'm in love with him!" Noel chuckled a bit, "sure sure, it's not like you are with him every day." Jolyne quickly moved in front of Noel, "you're really testing me Vazquez!" "I can hear you two," Joshua said, "you can bitch at each other later, but we have a job to do now." The girls sighed and walked behind, Jolyne glaring at Noel the whole way.
"Woah! Check this out," said Rae. The two stood in front of a huge crevasse, Bronny looked down into the abyss, but saw only darkness. "Damn, I wouldn't want to fall down there," he said, Rae also looked down, "wow, how far do you think the drop is?" "You want to find out?" Bronny teased, Rae laughed nervously. "hehe, I'm good thanks, I'd rather not die, thank you very much." The two suddenly heard a clicking noise behind them, they turned, only to see MGK behind them. He pointed his gun at both of them, smirking, "unfortunately for you," he muttered, "you don't get to choose whether you want to die or not!"
