Self Sacrifice

Lucas ran through the mines, hoping to get farther away from his father, but to no avail. He ran blindly around a corner and smacked right into an old mining cart. He fell, but his foot got caught under one of the wheels, he screamed in pain when he hit the rock hard ground. He began to panic, the running footsteps were getting closer. He clawed at his own led trying to get it free of the metal contraption which was holding it prisoner. He didn't succeed.
"There you are my boy!" A breathless Lawrence spat as he rounded the corner. Seeing his son stuck, brought out the worst, or he thinks the best, in him. "That's okay, don't get up."
Lucas was almost frantic now, he had just managed to get his leg free, but his ankle ached immensely. He scooted back until he hit a wall, with nowhere to go, he was stuck. He looked up into his father's eyes, but saw only hate and anger. "Dad, why do you hate me so bad?" Lucas squeaked out.
Lawrence was taken aback! "Because you are the cause of all my problems! I never wanted you, I loathed you the moment my wife got pregnant! YOU KILLED HER!" Lawrence was enraged past sanity. He pulled the gun from his pocket and fiddled with the settings. He aimed the gun right at his sons heart and."
A/N: I really wanted to end it here because that is a PERFECT cliff hanger, but it was just too short, so on I go!
Bridger climbed through the boards with no problems and Ben was next, but his pant leg got caught on a board. Bridger halted to help Ben, "NO, go, GO!" Ben half screamed.
Bridger ran on, he had to catch them, they weren't far behind. He was actually in pretty good shape, he had to be, he was the captain of the UEO flagship. It was all instinct as he flew around the corner. He had to protect Lucas! He didn't even pause to think as he jumped in front of the fired weapon, landing on his side, pain searing through his upper right thigh. Lucas was shocked, at the last second, Bridger had leapt in the way, taking the shot that was meant to kill him.
"Just great! Now look what you made me do you little shit! You made me shoot the UEO's captain." He fiddled with the gun again.
"Now look here Lawrence, I understand why you are doing this, but don't be fool. Just put the gun down and we can talk about it." He was lying a little farther over from Lucas, putting pressure on he leg wound.
"No Captain, your wrong, you don't know anything!" He shouted. "I'm sorry about this, but you shouldn't have gotten evolved!" He turned the gun on the captain again and fired.
"NNOOO!" Screamed the teen as he saw the gun go off again. This time it inflicted no serious damage. He had switched the settings to stun. Lucas relaxed slightly, but immediately tensed when the gun was turned back on him.
Lawrence advanced towards this helpless teen. "Now what did I tell you about manners?" He looked at Lucas, expecting an answer, but didn't receive one. The teen was utterly lost on what to do or say. He just knew this was his end.
"Sir, look, we can talk about this. Right?"
"No, twerp, we can't. I don't think you have suffered enough!"
He began kicking him anywhere and everywhere. It brought a smile to his ears as he heard the teen start to cry and then scream in pain. He stopped when his leg began to ache. The blonde just laid there, motionless. He was still alive, and awake, his eye followed all of Lawrence's movement. He backed away again.
Ben rounded the corner slowly and quietly, he had the element of surprise. What he saw when he finally came around the corner surprised him. Captain Bridger was laying motionless on the floor, blood spilling from his leg. Lucas, well he looked horrible, but he wasn't completely motionless. Lawrence had his gun aimed at Lucas. What was he going to do?
