Excuse me for any spelling/grammer mistakes. The library I'm typing at has shitty keyboards. They never update ANYTHING. Seriously.
Review.
I shut my car door and ran out where she was. I stepped out and onto the pier with her, collecting the man's body.
"Holy shit, what happened to him?" I asked her.
"I don't know... I just saw him like this, and pulled over." she replied.
"I see." I said. "Come on, let's get him to a hospital."
"No, he's okay." she said, quickly. "Let's just take him back to my place and fix him up there."
"Are you sure?" I asked. "I mean, he looks pretty hurt."
"Yeah, come on."
I didn't understand what she had planned, but I listened and helped her out. But as I got the top part of his body, I looked at his face. I fell back in shock, and gasped.
"Holy shit...!"
The brunette female glanced up at me. "What? What is it?"
"I know this who this is."
It was Ashe.
We sat there. He was laying in my lap, while the brunette, Sarah, lied next to him. Waiting for him to wake.
Flashback --
It was around nine in the morning. There was a few people in The Clique enjoying some breakfast that we were serving. I placed a plate down on a customer's table on a customer's table full of eggs.
"Maryse." called a deep voice.
I looked over at the counter. It was my boss.
"Sir?"
"Can you assist that man over there?" he requested, pointing over to a table.
I looked over.
It was Ashe. At the same table he sat at before.
I smiled. "Yes, sir."
With a couple of menus, a pad of paper and a pen, I walked over to him.
"What will you have, stranger?" I greeted him.
He looked up to me, then smiled. "Well, hello. How're you today?"
"Just fine." I said. "And yourself?"
"Alright, just stopping in to grab a bite to eat." Ashe replied. "Danny's at a baby sitter's today."
"Ah." I said. "Well, let me get you that order and I'll make sure to get you filled quick. Your little one can't be away from his dad all day, now."
"True, very true." he chuckled.
"I'll be right back." I said. And before I took a couple steps, Ashe spoke again.
"Hold on, wait."
I turned around. "Yeah?"
"Why don't you come with me later?" he offered. "You know, when your shift's over. You can see my son with me."
"I'd like that."
-- End Flashback
Suddenly, he awoke, shifting upward.
He looked at me and Sarah. There was fear in his eyes. "Who, are you two?"
"Sarah." the brunette said.
I looked at Ashe with disbelief. "You, don't remember who I am?"
"Where am I?" he said, ignoring my comment.
"My place." Sarah said. "We brought you here. I saw them, shoot you and your son."
"No!" Ashe screamed.
And that's when he started to run.
