The Comfy Cartel: Corpse gets 'hired'

First Kill?

Bang!

Silence...

Thump.

A million and one thoughts were rushing through Corpse's head. Did he just shoot someone? Who was it? And did he really actually murder another person?

Yvonne and Sykkuno were still at the door with the rug, but something was off. In the dim light Corpse could see that the rug had been dropped on the floor, agd laying against it was Sykkuno.

He was clutching his chest, around the bullet wound.

Corpse could have screamed. Had he shot Sykkuno!?

His question was quickly answered when he heard a grunt near the fridge.The intruder was grasping his side, trying to prop himself up against the wall.

Oh, thank God.

He hadn't killed anyone, and he hadn't just shot his new friend Sykkuno.

Both shot men were now quietly panting and grunting in pain, glaring at the other. At this point Yvonne takes over, grabbing the gun from the floor next to Corpse, taking the safety off as she does so, walking straight over to the guy.

"Who the hell are you?" Her voice was intimidating, cold, and to the point. She was pissed.

"You won't find out shit from me!" He reaches out for his gun, which is immediately kicked away by Yvonne effortlessly.

"You sure about that?" Her features twisted into the most menacing smile known to man. This guy was going to die a slow and painful death at the hands of Yvonne for sure, and Corpse knew exactly what she was going to do.

He slid his best knife across the floor over to her, still in the same position as when he first collapsed, his hands were still shaking, the adrenaline still flying around his body, making him dizzy.

Everything started to blur, and he couldn't hear Yvonne anymore. His concentration turned to Sykkuno, still laid against the rug near the door.

A squeal was heard from the other side of the room, but Corpse decided to ignore it, shuffling his way slowly over to the door.

"Oh Jesus this is bad," Sykkuno looked up to see this tiny child dressed in black shuffling over to him, and he giggled slightly. "Oh hey there Corpse! Don't worry about me, I've had worse. Thanks for saving me actually, you were so brave!"

He was so comforting and understanding, why did he have to get hurt?

Corpse decided to tear off a corner of his hoodie, which had been made especially for him by Lily, featuring his face in red wearing a little mask with a bunny ear. He loved it, but he knew that he had to help Sykkuno. Besides, Lily wouldn't mind making him a new one when she found out what had happened.

He gently lifted Sykkuno's hand to put the material underneath, placing his own tiny hands over the top of his, applying as much pressure as possible.

He hadn't even realized that he hadn't said a word since they entered the building, until he had been embraced in a hug, and started crying quietly into Sykkuno's side.

"It's going to be okay, yeah? You saved my life, we're both going to be okay." Even in pain, his voice was so calm and gentle.

"Mmhm" Corpse could hardly say a word, so he continued to hold as tight as possible, still holding his hoodie piece over the wound, covering his hands in blood. He didn't care. He wasn't going to let go.

The last thing he saw was Brodin coming in to help Yvonne carry the rug out to the car, then the new body, then Corpse and Sykkuno, still clutching each other for dear life.

Then he finally blacked out.
