"Shot?" Cam asked.
"Yeah, Sara's ex found us, and kidnapped her and shot me."
"All right, um, Blake and Hunter are closest. I'll contact them."
"No need," I said, "They're here."
"Dude," Hunter asked, "What happened?"
"Sam," I gasped, "found us. He has her."
"C'mon," Blake said, "you've got to go to the hospital."
As they helped me up, I felt the bullet in the hole it had made.
By the time we had got there, the blood coming from the wound had made a large ring around the hole in my yellow shirt.
"Hey," Hunter said to the receptionist. "My friend's been shot. It doesn't look real serious, but the bullet is still in him."
"Go right in," she said.
Hunter went back to Blake and helped me in.
"Thanks guys," I said.
"Hey," Hunter said, "You're light; it's no big deal."
"Yeah, if you were some fat person, we'd probably have to charge you," Blake added.
I laughed a little, then stopped 'cause it hurt a bit.
"Ooh," Blake said, "Sorry."
"It's okay; it was funny," I told him.
In the E.R. I was told to lie down; then the doctor gave me a shot of anesthesia in my left side, because, apparently, the bullet wasn't in that deep. I saw him take some forsnips and stick them into the bullet hole. It kinda freaked me out, 'cause I couldn't feel it, but he was sticking something into me.
"Okay, I've got it," he said as he took the forsnips and the bloody bullet out of me. Then he took a needle and began to stitch the hole closed. Then he taped a patch over it and was done.
"Thanks," I said, getting up. The 'rents weren't going to like that, so I paid out of my own pocket. Then the thunders and I went back to the track.
"Do you know which way he went?" Hunter asked.
"Um, if I was here," I said moving to the spot where I fell, "Then they went that way." I pointed directly in front of me.
"Great, we'll take it from here," Blake said.
"No, I'll come, too. It's my fault she's gone. I could have."
"No, you couldn't have," Hunter contradicted. "He's like Lothor. But if you want to c'mon."
And we headed in the direction that he took Sara.

Wow, a really short chapter for y'all. I hope you liked it. And tune in next time for probably the start of the conclusion.
