, you alright? Asks a familiar voice. My head is really sore and there are red stains on my shirt and a scratch on my leg. What the fuck? What happened? I ask. Charles here tried to kill ya but luckily I was here just in time to save ya. My memory comes back like a wave.
The gunshot I heard before I passed out must've been from the 12. Gauge shotgun my new friend was holding. I turn my head to the left and see Torres with a big ass hole in his back. I start to sit up, but my new acquaintance tells me otherwise. Whoa easy there buddy, you went unconscious from blood loss.
Not true, I say, I blacked out due to fear; trust me I know what I'm talking about. How you so sure Mr. Smarty-pants? I give him a smug smile. I used to be a doctor, that's how I'm so sure. No shit, sorry doc. I laugh a little. What's your name, I ask him. My names Jimmy, what's your first? I'm Matthew but call me Matt. Well Matt, says Jimmy, we gotta do something bout this here body.
I hear sirens in the distance. Apparently Jimmy heard them too because he starts to flip. Oh fuck, oh fuck,oh fuck what are we going to do? Tell the truth, I say, He attacked me and you walked in on us fighting and went to grab your gun to stop the fight. When you came back you saw Torres with the gun pointed at my head and you shot him.
I'll tell my part of the story and we should be in the clear. We SHOULD be in the clear? Says jimmy. Yeah,I say, what's wrong with that? I don't think it'll work. The sirens pull in and shut off as an officer walks in. What happened in...sheriff! How'd you get here so fast? Says the officer. I was in the area and I heard the call go out for shots fired and got here as fast as I could in my piece of shit truck. Said jimmy.
So you got this under control? Yes deputie...go back on patrol now ya hear? Yes sir. The deputy leaves no questions asked and I let go a sigh of relief, because truth be told...I was scared shitless about getting arrested just now. Whew, that was close, I say, we almost got arrested, when were you going to tell me that you were the sheriff?
Jimmy gets a depressed look on his face and says, Uh I wasn't planning on telling ya Matt. (He cannot be trusted) Shut up, I think, you almost got me killed. (But I didn't) I just tune out the lunatic voice in my voice.
