Seeking Revenge
Chapter 2: The Two Figures
I stare at the two figures.
"Oh my God."
"Bosco!" I dash over towards him. Thankfully he isn't the one lying on the floor bleeding to death.
"Is that one of the shooters?" I ask him. It was after I asked him that I noticed the machine gun near Bosco's feet. Well, I guess that just gave me my answer.
"Yea," he answers.
"Where is Donald Mann?" Bosco asks the gunman.
It is now that I notice the gunman lying on the floor is still breathing. I guess he wasn't completely motionless afterall. Wait! He's still alive! Maybe, just maybe we can get him to give up Mann. I turn around so that I can see if Davis is thinking the same thing I am. At first I think my eyes are playing a trick on me. Davis was right behind me I thought. Now, he is nowhere in sight. Bosco's yells bring me back to what is going on right in front of me.
"Where is he?" Bosco yells to the gunman. I can tell that Bosco is losing his temper. I can't say that I blame him though. Especially, after all that he has been through lately.
Next, I see Bosco extend his leg and kick the man in the ribs. The man yells out in pain. It's a surprisingly loud yell for all the blood that he is losing.
"Are you gonna answer me? Or am I gonna have to put another one of these bullets through you?" Bosco yells.
"P-please n-n-no," the man begs.
"Get out of the way, move!"
I turn my head to see a couple of the doctors trying to get past the crowds of people that have started to appear. Two of the doctors rush over to the gunman while the other doctor starts talking to Bosco.
"We need to take him to the OR now," the doctor says.
"No," came Bosco's harsh reply. "Not until you tell me where to find Mann," he adds, now looking over at the gunman.
"He needs to go now. You can question him afterwards," the doctor responds.
Bosco just chooses to ignore the doctor standing next to him.
"I am not allowing a man to bleed to death on my floor!" the doctor daringly yells at Bosco.
Bosco turns around to look at the doctor but quickly turns and faces the gunman once again.
"Where is he?" Bosco asks. He seems to have calmed down quite a bit. After getting no immediate response, Bosco aims his gun at the man.
"H-he's at his h-house," the man says.
"What's the address?"
"The p-place at t-t-the corner of 1st a-and 148th," It seems as if every word is costing him a great effort. The pain caused by his wounds is evident in his voice.
I look from Bosco, to the man, to the doctors who are now putting the injured gunman on a strecher. They wheel him away to the operating room within a matter of seconds.
Just then, Mary Proctor walks over and notices Bosco's bleeding arm and face.
"Bosco, let me take a look at you."
He looks at her and replies, "Not now. We need to figure out what we're gonna do first."
"We aren't going to be able to do anything right this second Boz," I say.
Bosco just stares at me. So I continue, "We will get him. Don't worry." I try to say this like I know for a fact that we will get Mann. Deep down inside though I'm not so certain about this. "Come on, let Mary take a look at your arm."
Bosco reluctantly follows Mary down the hallway. I can hear him telling her that it's no big deal, that a bullet just grazed his arm. Figures that Bosco would think it no big deal.
As I turn around to follow Bosco, both Cruz and Davis come running up to me.
"Did he get any of the shooters?" Cruz asks.
"Yea, one. The docs took him up to surgery," I reply.
"Did you get anything out of him? Like a description of this Mann guy or a telephone number? Anything?" Davis asks me.
"We got an address. Supposedly Donald Mann lives not too far from here," I reply.
"Good, that's good. We better get down to the house and get ready for a raid. Now is the time to take him down," Cruz tells Davis and me. I can tell that she is ready to go. She has that hungry-for-action look on her face.
Before Davis or I can say anything to her she takes off down the hallway and exits the hospital.
Davis turns to me, "Where did Bosco go?"
"He went with Mary to fix up his arm. I think it was just a graze. So knowing Bosco, he will be back out here in less than 20 minutes."
Davis chuckles softly. "I think we should go find Sully and Monroe. You know, let them know what happened," he says.
"Yea. That's if they don't already know by now," I respond.
A/N: Thanks everyone for writing reviews! All of them were very nice and encouraging. I'm glad you like the story so far. Oh btw, I don't know many of the streets in NYC so if I messed up the streets really bad in this chapter please forgive me. Thanks again!
