A/N: Oh my gosh, ok so I haven't updated this in like a year, and I
honestly didn't think that I would, but I have two chapters already written
that I never updated, so I might as well finish it for all of you who were
actually reading it. (I will admit that I really sucked at writing a year
ago) haha. Enjoy.
Chapter 9 - Two Shots Fired
*~*~*~*~*~*
Outside. Abby's POV
Kerry and I were outside Doc's, hoping that Susan hadn't gotten herself in too much trouble.
"I can't believe she did this." Kerry said. "Why the hell did you let her go in there?"
"Kerry, I'm sorry, okay? You know Susan, she wouldn't have listened to me if I told her not to go in there! Especially since Carter is in there. . ."
Kerry sighed, knowing that I was probably right. Susan and Carter had known each other for a long time. They were really close. . . I didn't want to get in the middle of that.
"Yeah, I just hope she managed to slip in unnoticed." She replied.
"Yeah. . ." I sighed.
"Hey look!" I heard someone shout. I looked back to the front of the restaurant, and there it was: A man holding a gun to a little boy's head. . . Everyone in the entire crowd of people became silent at the horrifying sight.
"EVERYONE!" The man shouted. "We have a little problem here! Some bitch snuck in the back of the restaurant and was trying to sneak some of my hostages out the back! Well, we found her!!! And now this boy here is going to pay! I told you what would happen if you tried anything smooth!"
I heard many gasps and cries of fear from the crowd. Was he really doing this? Was he really going to shoot an innocent little boy? I felt a tear roll down my cheek at the thought of what they might have done already to the people inside. In my moment of fear, I felt an arm of comfort around my shoulder, and I looked over to Kerry; Tears had started flowing freely down my face by that time.
"It'll be okay, Abby. Everything will be okay."
I put my hands to my face and tried subtly to wipe away the tears streaming down my face. I cleared my throat. "Yeah, well I hope so. . ."
As I was saying that, I suddenly heard the loud sound of a gunshot, followed by screams and gasps. 'Oh my God, did he shoot the boy?!' I asked myself, on the verge of panicking. I looked up to where the man had been, but all I saw was the little boy running down the steps, into the crowd.
The police had shot the robber.
* * * * * * *
Inside. Romano's POV
The taller of the two men had brought the boy outside to shoot him. God did I want to get up and just punch this guy out. Who the hell did this guy think he was, shooting a little boy?! At that point, I was tightly embracing Elizabeth, trying to calm her down as she cried in my arms.
"Shh, shh, it's okay." I was telling her, but the crying would just not cease. Carter was holding onto Vicky, trying to comfort her while she wept profusely for her baby brother.
That's when we heard the shot. Vicky started crying even harder, and Elizabeth started to shake. I attempted to calm her while Carter continued trying to calm Vicky. It was no easy task.
After a couple minutes of intense waiting, the robber had not come back inside, and the shorter robber, the one that was still with us, was starting to look worried.
"Hey you." The robber was aiming the question towards me. "Keep all three of them here. I'm goin' outside to see what the hell is going on. I'll be back in 30 seconds, and if ANY of you are gone, I'll chop your other arm off! I mean it!"
"Could you just shut up about the arm already?!" I whispered under my breath. After waiting for what seemed like days, the man came back inside. I couldn't quite read the expression on his face because of the mask he was wearing, but clearly he was mad. . .
"YOU!" He yelled, pointing at Susan. "If it weren't for your stupid stunt here, my partner wouldn't have even considered going outside! But now instead of having one dead hostage, I HAVE ONE DEAD PARTNER!" I was terrified that he was going to just plain out shoot Susan right there. He was one pissed little man.
"You mean Bobby's okay?!" Vicky gasped. "Yes, your precious little Bobby is all nice and dandy, but my partner's NOT! So you know who's gunna pay for that? Huh? Little miss. Sneaky over there." At that, he pulled out his gun, while at the same time, I saw Susan grab for something in her back pocket. I closed my eyes, and grabbed Elizabeth tighter. That's when I heard the inevitable sound of a shot fired.
