Yeesh….In a matter of 3 days, this has exceeded the number of hits my first fanfic did. However, my other one still has more reviews. So ha! Sorry, I still like my D-N-angel one better…….But anyway, here we go.

Disclaimer—once again, I own no part of full metal panic…however, I do panic at the thought of going swimming with full metal shoes……

Chapter 2

"Dammit, how could I make such a stupid mistake?" Sosuke ran towards the falling body, cursing himself the entire way. As he reached the body, he looked it over quickly. The shot had been almost perfect, going right through the chest. He had seen enough battles and done enough field medicine to know that it was a lost cause. He looked over at a shivering Kaname.

"Are you alright Kaname?" He asked, looking her over, making sure there were no injuries.

"Sosuke…..What happened?…….I thought you always had stun bullets loaded……but…..He's bleeding…." Kaname couldn't stop shaking. She sat there, staring at the blood coming out of the robber's body. She couldn't understand what was going on. She had felt the robber's gun press against her head, and that was when she had started to panic. Everything had just started to run together until she heard the gunshot. Slowly, she started to breathe, trying to calm herself. When she had finished calming herself, she ran the past few minutes in her head. "Sosuke. This was your only option, wasn't it? Otherwise I'd be dead, right?"

"That's affirmative. I'm sorry you had to witness such a thing though. This is not the sort of thing meant for civilians." Sosuke turned her away from the body, knowing it would only scare her more to see it. He looked up just in time to see the police arrive, barging through the front door.

"Everybody freeze!" The commanding officer yelled. He looked around, seeing all the hostages on the floor. His eyes then fell upon Sosuke, who was still holding Kaname. The officer noticed the gun lying next to him, then the blood coming out of the robber's body. Instantly he pointed his gun towards Sosuke. "You, on the ground, now!"

"Officer, there's no need for any of this. This man here was threatening my companion here. I only took the necessary actions to protect her." Sosuke turned as he said this, facing the officers. He raised his hands, to show that he was no longer armed. Instantly the officers ran over, grabbing Sosuke's hands and forcing them behind his back. The other hostages slowly began to stand, arguing with the officers. Shouts could be heard of people saying "he didn't do it, he saved us, he protected all of us, that man would have killed us for sure." The officer's took no heed of these protests, shoving Sosuke down the steps in front of the bank in to a police car. Several of the other officers started to talk with the hostages, taking down statements. Another officer had called for an ambulance to come take away the body of the dead robber.

"Sosuke, don't worry. We'll get you out in no time." Kaname said, as she looked at him through the window of the police cruiser. "You did the right thing, so they'll let you out. Just to be on the safe side though, how can I get a hold of Tessa? She should be able to help."

"There's a radio in my apartment. Preset number 3. Use that and you'll get a hold of Captain Testerossa's private channel. My key's are in my school bag." Sosuke said all this as the officer in the front of the patrol car started to pull away. He knew that something was wrong. The police in Japan normally didn't respond that fast. Also, they would never pull away someone from a crime scene like that without proper reason. Sosuke had not given them that reason. Something smelled fishy.

End of chapter 2. As always, please review. The reviews boost my ego and not only let me write more, but also write better. Worst part is, I'm only half joking about this. Also, the more reviews I get the longer I could let this story work out. See you when chapter 3 is posted.
