Chapter 8

See you around kid

"John, we're not leaving you!"

Halsey had been watching the whole thing. She was in tears looking at John from Kelly's perspective. Seeing his ripped black under suit with blood running out. John had just told them to leave him. Halsey was mentally beating herself up. The last two days were running through her mind as she watch the life leave her Spartan. Halsey was thinking of ways to get John back when it click in her head what to do.

"UNSC China this is blue two how copy?"

"This is Captain Victor, Lynda, we read you go ahead."

"We have a Spartan down. We are requesting immediate med-evac"

"Negative, there's no time. Get you functioning team mates and get out. Leave the wounded."

"But sir with all due respect-"

"Those are you order Spartan. Either that or you can stay with him!"

Kelly turned to John and look at the pool of blood leaking from him. Placing a bloody hand on her chest piece he spoke in a weak voice.

"It's time for you to leave. No point I all of us dying."

Kelly was about to say something when her hid had text scrolling over it. She read what it said then spoke in an authoritative tone.

"Fred come over here. And Lynda get that plasma pistol."

They did as she said. Giving them a sigh they all switched to a different com channel. Kelly spoke again

"Alright Fred come over here and hold Chief down. Kelly overcharge the pistol and shot it here when I give the word."

Without hesitation they all did what they were told. Soon they were all in position Kelly sat on John's legs. John not knowing what's going on called to them

"Hey I told you to get out of here what are you doing."

No one answered him. With Fred and Kelly holding him down and Lynda overcharging a plasma pistol John became worried.

"Hey! just because I'm dying don't mean I want you to kill me!"

Kelly brought both her fist down on John popping his she as she yelled

"Now Lynda, now!"

Kelly, Fred, and Lynda were loitering outside of the medicalbay waiting to here the results of there team leader. He had lost a lot of blood even before the cauterized the wound. They didn't know if he had enough blood for it to be flash cloned. They all stood there in full armor. Kelly then saw text cross her his again.

"Hey I'll be back soon I have something to take care of."

Fred and Lynda nodded as Kelly jogged of to John's room. When she got there she typed in a passcode and the door slide open revealing dr. Halsey looking reveled. Halsey rushed out of the room saying

"You will not believe how long I was in there."

"Why were you in John's room?"

"I didn't go to mine so he threw me in here, because it was closer."

"So you were disobeying orders?"

"I like to think of it as questioning demands."

"That doesn't sound any better ma'am."

"Anyways, how's the Cheif?"

"We don't know yet. He lost a lot of blood. Come on the rest blue team is waiting to hear the news."

The two headed back towards the medical bay. Their walk there was a solemn one. They both knew that John's life was a stake. Of course Kelly was used to it but Halsey and a hard time keep her emotions under wraps. Upon reaching the rest of blue team they exchanged hello's when they asked how John was. Fred spoke first

"We don't know. We still haven't heard-"

Just then the red emergence light went of with a beep. A minute later the doctor came out with blood all his gown. Pulling of his mask with a bloody hand he spoke slowly
