The café was nice, our banter continued as we headed to my car. We were going to stop off at his place so he could change before we headed back to my guesthouse.
"Annie, I need to talk to you about something." I tensed up, his voice was hollow, and his brow was wrinkled. This could not be good. Had he figured out I was head over heels for him? If Dani had known, how could a trained CIA not put the pieces together? Now, he was finally going to reject me for good. I looked to my left, out into the street, just so I wouldn't have to see the look on his face as he told me he just thought of me as a friend. I saw a black SUV speeding down the street in front of us. The window rolled down and I saw the barrel of a gun.
I had just enough time to push Auggie to the ground before the first shot rang out. People were screaming as more shots were fired, and as I fell to my knees. Pain had ripped its way through my stomach. I clenched my hands there feeling the warm blood seep through my fingers. Auggie was a few feet away from me, his hands brushing back and forth across the ground, searching for something. He was yelling, asking what was going on, and begging me to answer him. He had worked his way close enough that his fingers brushed over my leg. He followed it up, but when his fingers ran over my stomach I couldn't hold in my screams. It felt like there was a fire burning inside of me. He slipped off his jacket, holding it to my wound, applying pressure to stop the bleeding. I was just one of the many cries surrounding us. Auggie's lips were moving, but I couldn't hear him. All I could hear was the pained screams around me. He had pulled out his cell phone, his hand covered in my blood, he was still speaking, and I still couldn't hear him. The edges of my vision were turning black as he hung up and faced me once more. I was losing too much blood, and I was fading fast. I was going to die without having told him I loved him. I wish I could hear his voice, just once more. I got my wish.
"Please, just hold on a bit longer, help is coming. Stay awake, you have to stay awake, Annie." I wish I could have done what he had asked, but the darkness was so very tempting as it stole me away completely.
