Thank you fawkes21 for your kind words I was extremely grateful to hear
from you. Today, not only am I updating this story (because it's Christmas
and all) I'm going to try and attempt to update ALL of my stories today and
add a new story! Sheesh I'm a busy girl! Anyway, just for you fawkes.
Chapter 8.
I hear the all too familiar click and then.
.. Bang.
I can't feel any pain. I'm just lying here trying to keep still, not quite knowing whether I'm alive or dead. I cautiously open up one of my eyes and look around the room. He's gone. Danny Medosa.. he's gone, but where? I peer over the bed to check on Nick and find out where Danny is. His chest is bleeding and his face is mangled into a look of agonising pain and fear.
His chest is bleeding, heavily. A deep maroon nearly black liquid that flows freely over his torso.
But who.? My thoughts are interrupted briefly when I hear...
"You alright buddy?" I hear a familiar Texan drawl coming from somewhere.
"I think so. What just happened?"
"I shot him."
"But I thought you were gone with the fairies man you looked completely out of it."
"Yeah Mr. Medosa thought that too." He picks himself up and uses the bed to lever himself to a standing position. Dropping the gun to the floor he raises a hand gingerly to his bleeding temple.
"That's going to leave a mark." He says smiling at me. The guy just saved my life. Nick just saved my life. I can hear crying and feel tears and for a second or too I don't realise it's me. I'm the one crying.
"Nick you just .. You just saved my life."
"I know. Don't worry I expect you to return the favour one day." He smiles at me again. "I've got to make some phone calls. Will you be alright?"
"Just get someone in here to get rid of him ASAP." Staring at the dead body of my foe.
"Will do."
As he follows my gaze towards Danny he reaches for his cell and dials Brass' number. I know this only when Nick mentions his name and after that I tune out of the conversation unable to focus on any specific train of thought. Apart from one.
I could have died.
But Nick saved me.
Danny's dead. It's finally over.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Nick clicked his cell phone off and stared at Warrick. He was pretty shaken up but who wouldn't be in his situation. Right now Nick needed to get his head sorted out, literally. The blood wasn't ceasing despite the constant pressure he had on it and the pain throbbing through his whole cranium was unbearable. He couldn't remember a time when he'd been in this much physical pain. Neither had he been so surprised as he was right now. He'd just shot a guy, a person, and he felt no remorse. Faced with the possible outcome he knew he'd done the right thing. Warrick was like a best friend to him, and the thought of not having him around made him shudder.
Warrick was shaking, Nick could see how quickly Warrick's personal demons had literally been shot down and now he didn't know how to rid them from this clinical hospital room. Somehow it was comforting to still see the corpse on the floor, it meant he was definitely dead. It meant he was definitely out of Warrick's life and Nick knew this was a good thing. Warrick had been scared for long enough, it was time to forget this and move on.
It's hard looking down the barrel of a gun, Nick had done that not so long ago, with Nigel Crane and he'd never been so relieved to have some one come to his rescue as he had been then. And he realised right then how relieved Warrick probably was. What Warrick would never know was that Nick would think about this day for a long time to come. No matter who the person was it was still a life that had been snuffed out, it's flame taken away. And although it had been the right thing to do, it still felt. well words don't describe that feeling.
Warrick had pressed the NURSE emergency button, and a rush of nurses came flooding through the door. Simultaneously Nick and Warrick both realised this could take a little bit of explaining.....................
Hello again! I know this is only a short chapter but it's all due to be wrapped up in the next one. Hopefully chapter 9 will be the end! I hope that people have enjoyed it. Thank you to all who have reviewed. Until next time my little pretties (sorry been watching the wizard of oz way to much!) =) XXX
