Hello Peoples, if you're reading this, you're awesome, unless you're Ronald or Lewis, in which case, you suck. That is all.

"Hey!" Shaundi yelled at the semi-conscious woman lying on the cold concrete, clutching at her stomach. "Can you hear me?"

The woman moaned in response to Shaundi's calls.
"What's your name?" Shaundi called.
"Reese." She mumbled, before adding, "Theresa."
"The ambulance is on its way." The boss interrupted.

"Okay Reese," Shaundi began, more soothing this time. "We've got an ambulance coming to get you. I just need you to breathe in and out."

Johnny sat down in front of the TV watching the latest football game while he took another mouthful of his cold beer. His son was sitting in the armchair next to the couch, randomly texting people about how he finally met his dad. He didn't bother mentioning it was Johnny Gat, because he realised they wouldn't have believed him.

There was a familiar buzzing sound from the vibration of a phone, but this time it wasn't Tommy's. Johnny checked his phone before scanning over the vague explanation Shaundi had sent him about Theresa getting shot.
"Oh shit." Johnny yelled.
"What happened?" Tommy asked, sensing his father's concern.
"We gotta get to the hospital." He answered, picking his keys off the coffee table as he headed out the door. Tommy slid his phone shut and put it in his jean pocket before running out behind his dad.

"What happened?" Tommy repeated, more impatient this time.

Instead of answering him Johnny simply tossed his phone over to him with the message open.
"Oh." Tommy responded, as he always seemed to when he found out about someone dying or getting badly wounded as this person had.

The two of them stormed through the front doors to find a very shaken Shaundi sitting in the waiting room. Johnny was the first to approach her.
"Where's the boss?" He asked.
"He's back at Purgatory." She stuttered out. "He doesn't know if it's a trap. And he sent me here to wait for Reese."
"So why the fuck did you call me here?" Johnny asked, readying himself to storm out again.
"Because you need someone to look after Tommy." She stated, a lot less shaky this time. "And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want him around in a gunfight."
"I'm gonna stay here with Shaundi." Tommy answered, before his dad could say anything else.
"Don't die." Were the last words Johnny heard as he stormed out of the hospital and sped off towards Shivington.
"I'll try not to." He chuckled under his breath.

"So, what did you end up doing today?" Shaundi asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Well he basically just showed me his house. Then we watched some football." He answered, even though Shaundi wasn't paying as much attention as he would have wanted her to. She kept looking towards the clock that hung above, and towards the door where they had pushed the stretcher in before.
"Uh huh." She mumbled as she pulled out her phone and checked for messages. Even though she knew her boss wouldn't want her to get involved in a gunfight, and he definitely wouldn't tell her about one she still bothered to check every five minutes for updates.

"Fuck it." Shaundi sighed as she put her phone back in her pocket. She sat up on the chair and turned to face Tommy. "Sorry. I was a bit preoccupied."
"It's okay. You know, for a banger, you're awfully shaky about these near death experiences." Tommy noted.
"Yeah I know." She sighed. "It's just because…" Shaundi was interrupted by a doctor walking out of the doors. He had a few blood stains on his scrubs, and he looked down at the clipboard before calling out to Shaundi.
"What is it, doc?" She asked, assuming the worst.
"We've managed to remove the bullet, and Theresa should be fine. She's just got to wait until the anaesthesia to wear off before she can wake up. You can come in if you want."
"Okay, thankyou so much." Shaundi, contemplated giving the doctor a massive hug, but decided against it, seeing as he was covered in blood, and he probably had to keep extremely sanitary.

Shaundi and Tommy followed the doctor into the recovery ward where Theresa was. They sat down on the tiny plastic chairs that were provided for them and after about twenty minutes Tommy had managed to fall asleep on Shaundi's shoulder. Shaundi, trying not to disrupt the sleeping sixteen year old, reached for the food tray they had ordered before and picked up the remaining jelly cup.

She didn't know she had fallen asleep until her phone woke her up. She checked the time. 12:04am. That simply meant it had been about five hours since the doctor had given them the great news. Tommy was already awake, and silently watching some re run of an old TV show on the TV that was provided.

Shaundi rubbed her eyes before looking down to her phone to read the message that woke her up. It was just the boss telling her that they managed to track down the person responsible, and that they were coming back to the hospital to visit Theresa.

"How is she?" Johnny asked as he greeted Shaundi. Johnny was followed by Pierce, the boss and another man, whom Shaundi assumed was either dating or related to her.

"She's fine. She's gonna wake up as soon as the anaesthetic wears off."
"Oh, thank god." Replied the unknown person. "I'm Troy by the way."

So I have to leave it there, because I'm going off to Theatre class, and my annoying sister kicked me off the computer before. Hope you enjoyed.

Okay, so I went back and fixed this and now it actually has the line breaks.
Luvv ya,
