SEEKING REVENGE
Chapter 7: Slaying of the Monster (Conclusion)
A ray of sunlight filters through into the darkness of the room as the door slowly opens inch by inch.
Everyone is ready. All weapons are drawn, all faces have a ready, concentrated look about them. Then, as if this moment couldn't hold still any longer, Mann appears in the doorway. He gazes about the room as if checking for the police. After he sees no one, he shuts the down behind him and flicks on the lights.
"Get down now!" Cruz yells as she jumps up from her spot with her gun pointed straight at Mann's head. "On the ground!! Keep your hands where I can see them!"
Bosco, Davis, Sully, Monroe, and I all follow suit as we circle around Mann. With every gun pointed in Mann's direction, everyone yelling commands at him, every beat of my heart pounding harder and harder, I notice his eyes. I can see his eyes scanning the room. As if he is looking for the nearest exit, an easy way out. He takes a step towards the closed door.
"Don't move!!!" Bosco yells at him.
Then, out of nowhere, Mann reaches his hand into his jacket pocket and pulls out a machine gun. Gunshots erupt from it, as well as from mine and everybody else's guns.
All I know is chaos. People are ducking, running, shooting, yelling. Glass from lamps and cabinets is flying and shattering all over the place. Wood is splintering into a million pieces. Blood is...no....not blood. Davis!
Oh no! That is all my mind screams as I see Davis clench his left upper arm. I can see blood oozing down his fingers as he holds them to his wound. I run over to him and when I get there I pull him behind a desk so that we are out of harms way. His blood loss seems to be minimal as it is not a big injury. I am able to let out a sigh of relief.
"You're alright," I say to comfort him. "Just keep pressure on it."
As I start to make my way around the desk I notice something odd. The gunfire seems to have lessened. I don't hear the machine gun going off anymore. Instead, all I hear are two of our guns.
I hurry to the other side of the desk so that I can see what just happened. A feeling of satisfaction and relief take over me. Mann is on the ground, his gun lying a couple feet from his fallen body. A pool of blood is slowly but steadily forming around him. I can see him gasping for air, a task that proves to be nearly impossible for him right now.
Above Mann's body there are two people. Bosco and Cruz. They are still firing their weapons at him even though he is already down. They are still unloading their entire clip into his body. I know they won't stop, not until they run out of bullets. In any other circumstance I probably would tell Bosco 'that is enough' but right now I don't say a word.
"That is for Mikey," I hear Bosco say as he fires another shot into Mann. "This is for my Ma," he says as he continues to put lead into the body on the floor.
I turn my attention to Cruz. She is doing the same thing that Bosco is.
"This one is for all my guys that you hurt," Cruz says. Bang. Another bullet into Mann's body. "This one is for Wynn and Dembrosky," she continues as yet another bullet erupts from her weapon.
I glance around me. Everybody is watching the scene in front of them. Nobody is even trying to stop Bosco and Cruz. They all feel the same way I do. So we just watch, watch for what seems like an eternity but in reality is only a few minutes.
Eventually the gunfire stops as both Bosco and Cruz run out of bullets. Without saying a word to each other they both turn away from Mann and head out the front door.
It's over. This nightmare has finally ended.
Donald Mann is dead.
I head back over to Davis, who surprisingly isn't paying attention to his arm. His attention is instead focused on Mann's dead body. I get his attention and together we walk out the front door behind the others.
EMS is waiting for us outside. Carlos and Kim take Davis in their ambulance over to Mercy Hospital to get his arm fixed up. Sully decided to ride over with him. I guess he wanted to keep Davis company; save him from Carlos. Anyways, they say that Davis will be fine. A couple of nights at the hospital and he will be back to work in no time.
Across the street, Bosco and Cruz are talking to Lt. Swersky. They are telling him about everything that happened. Everything from finding out that the snitch was Jelly to the shoot-out that ended in Mann's death.
A couple feet away from me, I can see Monroe. She is in the process of slapping handcuffs on Detective Jelly. Once the handcuffs are securely in place, she leads him away. Away to a police car. Away to the city jail where he will rot behind bars for the rest of his life.
Now I am left standing alone in the middle of the street. Watching people walking around, telling the events of what happened. Watching the yellow 'Police line do not cross' tape being put up around the crime scene. Watching the detectives taking pictures. Watching as Mann's body comes out of the building in a body bag. Watching the flashing lights of police cars and ambulances.
As I walk over to where my partner is still standing with Cruz and Swersky, I can't help thinking what today was.
Today was the slaying of the monster.
