Chapter Five

'' What happened?,'' One of the medics asked. Carlos, I think.

'' What the heck does it look like dumb arse! She's been shot!,'' I replied angrily.

'' Calm down Bos,'' Kim said, as she drug her bag off the strecher, and knelt down

beside Maritza. I backed away slowly, not taking my eyes off Maritza. I stepped closer

to Faith, hoping maybe I could calm her down. But instead, she surprised me,

'' I did this,'' She muttered.

'' What?,'' I asked, sure I hadn't heard her right.

'' I did this, I shot her,'' Faith was almost whispering, I had to strain to hear her.

''Y-y-y-you?,'' I studdered,'' What?''

Before she could answer, Kim called out,'' We're losing her!''

I had to watch as my girl, yes, I still thought of her as that, even though we hadn't

always gotten along, was hoisted onto a strecher, and as the medics got her out as

fast as they could.
