Angels Sent From Heaven Highest

Sabrina sighed. It was all over. She wondered why she could still breathe, and she placed her hand over her chest, snatching it back as quickly as it had come. No bullets? No blood? But I'm dead! He shot me, not one, not two, but three times! Three times. Thrice, for God's sake! I am dead. Right?

Sabrina looked up, and saw the smoke coming from not one revolver, but three. Kelly, Jill, and Bosley were standing there, each with their own revolver pointed at her attacker, who was still standing. His face was a mixture of shock, anger, and pain.

He was no longer smiling as he fell to the ground. Jill went up to him and kicked him.

"Dead." She reported to Bosley.

"Good." He said.

Ah. It's my lovely friends come to save me. Isn't that just…. angelic?

Bri smiled at her little pun, receiving both alarmed and relieved looks from her coworkers. She laughed, and then realized that she was still in pain.

"Aw, damn it. Thought I was done for sure that time. You guys always gotta come rescue me and spoil all my plans, don't you?"

Jill smiled, Bosley gave her a stern look, and Kelly's face broke. She rushed over to her friend, pulling her into a warm- but careful- hug. She looked Bri in the eyes.

"Don't you ever do that to us again, understand?"

"Oh, alright. If you say so, mother."

Kelly's face hardened.

"I mean it, Sabrina! You could've..." Her voice trailed off, almost on the verge of tears. She muttered it softly, so that only Sabrina could hear it.

" I could've lost you." She whispered.

Sabrina shook her head. She was suddenly very dizzy.

"I'm not going anywhere yet, Kel. Ow."

Kelly had always wished that she could be as courageous as Sabrina was. Bri always knew what to say to make people go from crying their eyes out to calm and comforted, in just a matter of seconds. It was something that she would always respect her for.

Kelly was forced back to reality when Sabrina muttered her name softly. She was fading out fast, having spent so much energy putting up a front for her friends' benefit. Kelly almost cried, again.

"Don't leave us, Bri, come on now, stay here sweetie. The paramedics are almost here." Kelly was suddenly aware of Jill crouching next to her. Kelly smiled gratefully. She found that she herself was unable to speak, so she just sat there, holding on to Sabrina's hand, never letting go.

Bri smiled weakly.

"You think… I was planning on…. going anywhere? Bos…. would never let me… on a… vacation."

Jill was always one to appreciate jokes, but the sight of one so hurt being so brave, just for her benefit- it was too much to take. She cradled Sabrina in her arms, crying softly. Sabrina winced when she saw her fun-loving friend break like that. She decided to keep her mouth shut, for both hers and her friends' sake.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang three times.

Saved by the bell, Sabrina thought grimly, in more ways than one.

The paramedics rushed over to her. One of them, a woman who presented herself as Sandra, began talking to her in a soothing voice.

"Hello, miss, how are you doing?"

Sabrina wanted to scream, wanted to laugh, wanted to cry, wanted to hit something. But she forced out a rather detached-sounding, "I'm alright."

"What's your name?"

"Sabrina."

"Okay, then. Try to relax, don't attempt to move."

Sabrina frowned as they cut through her sweater, and frowned even more when Kelly gasped at her ribs. Sandra saw her grimace.

"Is the pain getting worse?"

Sabrina shook her head. "Only emotional pain."

Both her coworkers and Sandra stared at her, confused. Sabrina sighed.

"I just really liked that sweater."

Both her coworkers and Sandra just gawked at her. Jill quickly regained her posture and smiled.

"That's my girl."
