Chapter Five
After a few minutes, people were starting to get out from under the tables and move around the room. Asking what was going on and who had been shooting. Mac Scorpio emerged from the back of the room with a few other officers who had arrived at the scene.
" Everybody, just stay calm. We're going to clear out the auditorium slowly, but quick moving, alright? Everyone on this side, start moving out." says Mac, directing the officers to lead the people out.
" If anyone's hurt, just stay where you are, we'll come to you." says Mac.
Jason continues following Nikolas through the crowds, calling his name. The last thing he needed was Nikolas getting shot and killed, and his sister losing him all over again.
Nikolas finally reached the stage, and walked onto the surface of it. He didn't even know what he was looking for. He just walked around the people on the floor, some were sitting up trying to collect themselves, some where running off the stage. But Nikolas didn't even notice them. He was looking for something specific.
Michael was still kneeling by Lulu, putting pressure on the bullet wound. He quickly looks behind him, hearing footsteps, almost jumping half a mile. He see's Nikolas through the lights, staring down at them.
" She- she was shot. They shot her. It won't stop bleeding." says Michael shakily, not being able to get anything else out.
Nikolas could feel knots forming in his stomach, and tears welling up in his eyes. But why? All he knew about this girl was that she was Nikolas' sister. He knew who she was, but felt nothing for her. Still feeling like he wasn't in control over his emotions or what he was doing, he quickly leaned down besides her and takes off his jacket, throwing Michael out.
" She needs something bigger." says Nikolas, wrapping it around her entire waist.
Nikolas looks down at Lulu, then notices Michael bleeding.
" Are you-" says Nikolas, looking at his shoulder.
" It just grazed me. I'm fine. It's her I'm worried about. The wound looks really bad. She needs a doctor." says Michael.
" The cops are already here. Go find someone." says Nikolas, looking back down at her.
Michael dosen't move, feeling frozen.
" Did you hear what I said?!" shouts Nikolas.
" Y-yeah. I heard you." says Michael, blinking to get back to reality.
He stands up, looking down at them one last time before turning to go find help, when he see's Jason.
" Thank god, ok she needs help." says Michael, frantically.
Jason looks at Michael, and then down at Lulu and Nikolas. Now realizing why Nikolas was here, even if Nikolas didn't know himself.
" Was she hit?" says Jason, leaning down next to Lulu on the opposite side.
" In the chest. Just once I think. It's looks really bad, Jas." says Michael.
Jason looks underneathe the jacket, seeing the blood rushing out of her. She had been hit twice.
" Looks like she was hit twice. Nikolas, keep pressure on it. Try to get her concious. Talk to her, she could recognize your voice and start waking up." says Jason, standing up.
Nikolas nods, continuing to hold the jacket down on her stomach.
" We need to get you out of here." says Jason, looking at Michael, who is still staring down at Lulu and Nikolas.
Jason focuses on Michael's shoulder as the blood catches his eye.
" Is that your blood? Were you hit?" says Jason, concerned.
" I'm fine." says Michael.
Jason looks at his shoulder again, getting closer.
" It just grazed me Jason, I'm fine." says Michael.
" Are you in any pain?" says Jason, opening his shirt and looking at the wound.
" Just a little. Not as much as she is right now." says Michael.
" Come on, someone has to look at that." says Jason, starting to lead him off of the stage.
" I'm not leaving her, Jason." says Michael, sternly.
" Michael, you could bleed to death. You're already losing alot of blood from what it looks like. We're just going into the auditorium. I'm going to tell Bobbie to come and take care of her. She's going to be fi-" says Jason.
" Fine?! Jason, look at her!" says Michael, cutting him off.
" Michael- she's gonna make it." says Jason.
" How do you know that?" says Michael.
" I don't." says Jason.
