Texas Bandits

Part 17.

Ethan had found Amy near the mailbox and she was shaking with fear written all over her face, she was in shock.
"Amy! Amy! Are you alright?" He looked around and at her clothes to make sure that there was no blood on them.
She looked up at him and recognized it was Ethan "Oh god." She whispered shakingly and hugged him.
"What happened?" Amy asked with fear.
"It was a bandit's job," Ethan answered, the place around them was a mess.
People running in all directions, too much blood and shattered glass everywhere!
That's when it hit her "Christopher!" Amy whispered, she looked around her and the shop was shattered into million pieces.
She left Ethan and ran inside of the shop looking panicky "Christopher!" She shouted "Amy? what are you doing? let's go to the hospital." She heard Ethan said.
But she was out of her mind for a second, that's when she saw Christopher and his father in the corner!
Christopher was lying on the ground with his father's head on his lap!
"Christopher?" She whispered running to him, Mr. Rodriguez had too many gunshots on his chest, and from the look on Christopher's face, it was over!
She couldn't walk any closer she was full of fear, her legs couldn't leave her up anymore, she ends up on the floor near them.

Tears were running down her face of the sight "Amy are you okay?" Ethan sit near her and tried to get her up.
Christopher noticed her but he couldn't say anything at the moment, he looked at his father again and he held him closer to his chest.

In a few hours later...

The hospital lobby was full of people everywhere, some were sitting on the floor waiting for medical help and some were on the beds or in the surgery room.
And thank god Amy was safe when Ethan found her "My baby! are you okay?" Nicole rushed to Amy when she saw her sitting on the sidewalk with Ethan near her, he called her earlier to get Brian and visit them because she was refusing to leave the place.
"What happened?" Nicole asked again.
"I'm okay." Amy nodded at her and hugged Brian to her chest, he is too young to understand what had happened.
"Let's go home my love." Nicole said, "You're tired and Brian too!" Ethan continued he looked at Nicole with worried looks.
"You don't need to stay here anymore," Nicole said again, that's when she saw Christopher walked out of the front door towards a black car.
She put Brian in Nicole's hands and run after him "Christopher!" She called, he froze in his place and looked behind "Why are you here?" He asked her coldly.
"I couldn't leave you alone in this." She whispered walking to him slowly "I need time Amy, leave." He said trying to hide his tears but he couldn't.

"But-" He interrupted her angrily, "I said go!" She could feel how mad and sad he was! He just loses his father.
"I know what it's like to lose someone you love, Christopher," Amy said again trying to hold his hand.

Ethan had hard look in his eyes, he was not sure of the relationship between them "Is he her boyfriend?" He asked his mother in a low voice trying to be as quiet as he could.
"I don't know." Nicole whispered and looked at them again "But he came to our house once or twice." Nicole said, "He came to our house?" Ethan asked, and Nicole could see the anger in his eyes.
"Yeah?" she paused "Let's put Brian in the car, he is half asleep, Amy will follow us," Nicole said walking towards her car.

"Christopher." Amy whispered, she walked to him closer and hugged him tightly "I'll be here with you, I promise." She could feel his tears were dried on her shirt.
"Okay." He whispered back and pulled her face in between his hands "I need to go now."
Christopher walked towards his car and hopped in "Where to sir?" His driver asked, "To hell, to make their lives a true hell."
