Love Struck

Chapter 120 - Medic!

Shadow's POV

"Click!"

"Hahaha!" I laughed as the gun clicked against my head without ammo.

It figures the second time I want something like this to happen it doesn't work. I guess now is not the time. Something is still out there and I need to find it, but what? Is it Amy and my son? I would have to guess so, but why do they wish to see me after all this? All I do is kill and kill and kill nothing I do effects anything else but lives. What have I done that has ever changed for the good of this country? The answer is nothing and I just don't understand why they wish to see me after all I have done to fuck everything up. I want to see them sure, but not at the cost Death wants.

Sometimes I ask myself why? Why am I like this? Is it because I love Amy or is it because I'm acting as a father? Or is it both? What else do I have to do to end this for not just my sake, but others?

After nights of fighting myself and blood loss I only found one answer to each question.

I believe I do this because I feel I have to. I'm a lover and a fighter. I fight for my son with Amy by my side at all times and anything she wants I follow by making it happen. I fight for my only family. Why am I like this? It's simple; I know nothing else since I lost my brother Dark. And since Amy's death I lost more then that. My world broke the day I didn't even notice her die next to me. Then when my son was shot by my own fucking brother. If you ask me why I do this, why I do what I do? I will tell you it's because I want them back with me. In my head I think to myself it is for the best. Death can bring them back to me and I need to accept what I have to do to bring them back.

I killed Shade not because I wanted to, but because I had to. I just wish that she knows I'm sorry. I'll make sure she didn't die for nothing unlike theses men. I didn't kill them because Death told me to. I killed them because they tried to stop me from saving my world. My Amy and my Shadow. No one who does that will live beyond the point of clarity.

I let the small handgun drop to the floor next to the dead monster and slowly I walked off his bleeding corpse and towards the back entrance. I had to get home. For her.

"Ughhhh…aghhhh…ughhh!" I grunted as I stepped over the bodies piled across the floors.

I held my side in pain to hold back the blood as the gun wound exposed itself on my body.

I was fucked, but no matter what I won't die. I can't die. I'm invincible. I told myself as I was about three feet in front of the exit.

"Aghhhh!" I shouted in agony as I fell to my knees in front of the door.

Quickly I fell to my hands and watched as the blood came out of my stomach and up to my face. It dripped off the side of my head along with the broken skull and I began to experience lightheadedness.

I took slow deep breaths as I began to crawl for the door and gently my hand came in contact with the knob.

The tip of my bleeding fingers ran on the metal and I was unable to get the power to turn it open.

My bloodshot eyes were in pain and I shut them while exposing my cracked teeth and I immediately watched as the blood kept coming.

"I can't die here!" I said to myself in pain of my choices.

I took deeper breaths and it was almost an instant when I lost it all. Strength, life, power, hope, everything.

"Ughhh! Smack!"

I fell to the floor instantly shutting my eyes as I felt the coldness of my blood around what was left of my fur and quills. I wasn't going to go anywhere.

"I…..have…to…..keep…..going!" I pushed myself as I tried to raise my head up.

"Smack!"

I gave up and shut my eyes at an instant of my head coming back down at the floor. I just remained there unable to move and get help as I slowly died for the sake of my family.

Raptor's POV

The blood led to a small warehouse complex inside the heart of the city and as we approached on foot I signaled for Frost to line up outside the front door. The blood led inside.

We both placed ourselves back first to the edges of the door and ready for the breach.

"Go!" I shouted while backing off the wall.

Frost nodded while bringing up his gun.

"Smash!"

My foot broke down the door and Frost ran in as I screened his flank.

"Clear!" Shouted Frost as I tapped his shoulder to push forward.

Frost followed the blood with me behind him and quickly we noticed bullet holes in the walls.

Frost and I were both ready to fight as we turned the corner into the next room.

Frost stopped me as we found a body.

I signaled Frost to cover me as I checked the body.

He set up a covering flank as I turned over the dead human.

He was a gang member I could tell by the tags. These men work in Pakistan as well.

"Guards Of Rights." I stated as Frost looked back at the body.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Tags check out." I stated while getting up.

Frost nodded as I approached the next door leading out into the bay.

Slowly I opened the door with Frost behind me and peered inside the bay.

Both Frost and I stopped at the door to see dead everywhere.

"Holy shit." Stated Frost as we saw gunshots all over the dead and in the walls.

"What the fuck?" I asked as we began to walk forward.

"Money. Weapons. Drugs. This had to have been a racket." I stated while checking the bodies.

Frost was equally shocked as we found the man of the hour.

"Look at this!" I shouted as Frost came over.

"Mark!?" Questioned Frost as I knelt down.

"Somebody got him real good." I stated while picking up the knife.

"Do you think it was Shadow?" Asked Frost as I got up.

"I don't know." I replied while ordering him.

"Go search around. Whoever made the trail here is around. There is too much blood to find the correct one so call me if you find it."

Frost nodded while moving forward as I approached one of the drug tables Mark and his men must have used for deals.

On the table were a few bags of weed and cocaine. Weed is one hard thing to get here. Whoever wanted this much must have been paying good.

Slowly I picked up a clipboard and it held the finical info for the deal.

The druggie was giving Mark over fifty thousand dollars for all this.

I let the board land back on the table as I began to search around the dead.

I was hoping to find the druggie.

To my efforts I did.

A fox.

Slowly I pulled him back over and saw his face.

This was one crazy deal.

"Allen the great." I stated to myself as I looked at the dead fox. {chapter 18}

Drug lord and well supplied. This fox says he works alone but if your on his stuff you know he's bigger then he seems. Not anymore though.

Slowly I stood up and as I took a breath I heard Frost scream.

"RAPTOR!"

Immediately I ran for him and found him at the back entrance to this building.

He was knelt down next to someone.

"IT'S SHADOW!" He shouted as I slid down to my knees next to him.

Frost and me were completely shocked by the condition he was in. It was way worse then at the base.

"SHADOW CAN YOU HEAR ME!?" I asked as Frost turned him over.

The second he exposed his stomach we panicked.

Blood poured out and immediately I held my hands on the gunshot wound.

"CHECK HIS PULSE!" I ordered while holding down on the injury.

Frost felt his neck and nodded.

"HE'S THERE!" He shouted as I got him to take over.

Frost held the wound tight as I put my bloody hands on Shadow's burned face.

"SHADOW!" I shouted at him while smacking his face gently.

His eyes flickered as I shouted.

"COME ON WAKE UP SHADOW!"

Slowly his eyes opened a little and he stared into my eyes.

I smiled in fear for his life as his bloodshot eyes stared at me coldly.

"Ra…ptor?" He said unable to talk straight.

"IT'S ME SHADOW! FROST AND I ARE GOING TO GET YOU SOME HELP!" I stated while keeping his eyes open.

Shadow's hand felt mine as I got on my comm.

"Raptor to all rebellion forces in the AO! I found the commander! He's severally wounded inside a warehouse located two miles from the house that was just burned down! I need medical help now or he isn't going to make it!" I shouted while Shadow gripped my forearm.

I held his hand tight as Frost kept force on his wounds.

"Commander Mason to Captain Raptor!" I heard from my comm link.

"Raptor here!" I replied while still holding Shadow.

"I have a strike force coming your way! Is he going to make it till they arrive!?" He asked.

"I don't know sir! The commander has multiple gun wounds and fractures! He won't last maybe more then five minutes!" I stated as Shadow let some blood come up from his mouth.

"My men are already on the way! Do what you have to; to make sure he stays alive!" He ordered.

"Yes sir!" I shouted while looking at Frost.

"Lets get him up!" I ordered while taking Shadow's head which had lost most of it's quills.

Frost took his legs and carefully we lifted him up.

His blood slimed along the floor and on my gear as we cleared a nearby table inside the office of the bay.

Gently we let him rest there and I ordered.

"Hold the wound while I try to find a med kit!"

"Yes sir!" Replied Frost as I ran to the office bathroom.

Nothing was inside and I ran as fast as I could to the supply closet in the bay.

"SMASH!"

I kicked in the door and inside were stolen medical supplies. I would have been shocked but not with Shadow's life on the line.

Quickly I grabbed a kit and ran back to Frost who tried to keep him awake.

"Come on Shadow stay with me!" He begged as I opened the kit.

Shadow tried his best to keep awake as I pulled out a cloth for Frost.

He took it and placed it on the wound as I got some medical alcohol.

"Pop!"

The cap came off as I poured it on his leg.

"AGHHH!" Screamed Shadow as I applied a rag to his leg.

Besides the burns and the gunshot he was not going to make with what I had in this type of field.

"Stay with us Shadow!" I ordered him as he rested back down.

Slowly his eyes shut as I shouted.

"SHADOW!"

He didn't move and as we stared at him in fear we were interrupted by rebellion reinforcements.

"Move!" They ordered as they got between us.

We let the medics in as we still held down the blood and the medics pulled out their kits.

"Let me see his stomach!" He ordered as Frost moved his hand up.

The medic immediately went in to find the bullet.

In no time he found it and pulled it out.

"Get some morphine!" He ordered as the other medics got a few shots ready.

"One in the neck! One in the Stomach! And another in the leg!" He ordered as the medics gave Shadow the painkiller.

I still held his leg as the medics did what they could to get him stable.

Next chapter will be on tomorrow as always.

Also if anyone remembers from chapter 18 when Shadow first did drugs why is Allen still alive? Wasn't he gunned down by Shadow for his bag of cocaine? Think about that it might come clear. But now he is did so also remember that for later.

Ps I will be home Sunday with past secrets fixed and another chapter for you all. See you then.
