Author's Note: Another super-short chapter, I'm thinking of putting up chapter five soon even though it's a lot longer.(I had up to chapter six pre-written until I decided to publish the story) A chapter written by my co-author, who wanted to do a chapter from Trudge's perspective, which I thought was a great idea on her part. (I mean he is the police, and someone was murdered) Enjoy!
One second.
That's all it took.
A loud bang sounded and Yusei was on the ground, surrounded by red. He was twitching and blood was beginning the swell to the surface.
I couldn't see who shot him, other than the flutter of a coat on a roof.
He was scooped up and rushed to the hospital. I followed numbly, listening to the doctors yell in terminology I didn't understand.
Yusei was rushed to surgery, and we were all told to wait in the waiting room. I sat there nervously as I looked around.
One second was all it would have taken for me to look around to check for assassins. One second was all it would have taken for me to jump in front of that speeding bullet. One second could have prevented Yusei from being here, getting treated for a most likely mortal wound. He was shot in the abdomen, and lost a lot of blood.
I just hope that the one second that my guard was down won't kill him.
