Cody was so scared. He had no idea what to do so he just layed down on his stomach. If he was going to get shot, he didn't want to see it coming. He braced himelf, but nothing happened. He waited, but still nothing was happening. Why isn't the guy just getting it over with. Cody slowly lifted his head. The man was looking at his watch, the gun at his side. Cody slowly stood up. Then the man looked up all of a sudden and Cody flinched.

"Look kid. I got to go, and frankly, i don't want to have to do this, but I have to. You see, if I don't kill you, your going to tell someone, and I don't want to go to jail, so I hope you told your mom you loved her becasue that is going to be the last hting your ever going to say to her." Said the man raising the gun quickly. Before Cody good do anything the gun was shot and the man ran off leaving Cody doubled over.

Cody looked down. There was blood seeping out of his stomach. He had to do something fast otherwise he was going to die right here in this alley. I got to get out of here. Maybe if I get out of the alley someone will see me and find help. Maybe I won't die at all. Man, I wish mom and Zack were here. With those thoughts in his head, Cody slowly made his way to the end of the alley. When he finally made it out he was so overjoyed that he collapsed onto the ground, the world suddenly going dark.

A young woman named Sarah was waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up from the library when she saw a blonde boy step out of an alley and collapse. She was worried that something was wrong with him so, being the kind person she was, went over to him. As she got closer she could see dark red liquid seeping out onto the cement of the sidewalk. Oh no! He's bleeding! She bent down and turned the boy over. The boy was bleeding from a small hole in his stomach. Not knowing what else to do she yelled for help, but no one was paying attention. Everyone had their own lives to live and would pay no attention to anything. Even if someone was dieing. The woman got her cell phone and called 911.

A few minutes later an ambulance came. The paramedics immediatly rushed out and started rushing the boy in. A man who was riding in the ambulance asked the Sarah if she knew who the boy was and she said that she didn't. Then the man asked her to ride in the ambulance with them to the hospital where they would try to find out who this boy was. Sarah agreed and called her boyfriend to tell him what had happened. She felt so bad for the boy. He had lost so much blood.
