Henry's POV:
What had started as a normal day on the military base turned sour, fast. Apparently, someone had told Galeforce that I robbed another bank. Typically, I wouldn't be upset over someone talking about something I did. Yet, I was upset for one reason. I didn't do it! I had been falsely accused of breaking the contract I had with the government.
I only found out when I was talking with a group of soldiers, the general storming up to me. He grabbed me by the collar of my shirt, yelling in a stern voice.
G:"What the fuck, Stickmin?! We give you everything, food, shelter, a job, and you still betray us? Why the hell would you rob another bank?!"
At that point, a huge crowd began to form around us, people whispering to the others around them. I squirmed out of the older mans grasp, backing up. Nervous, I used sign language instead of speaking. I signed 'what you mean?'.
Galeforce narrowed his eyes, motioning for two people to come over to where we were standing. I immediately recognized the people as being officers from The Wall. That was when panic rose within me. I began to speak verbally, not having the time to sign my words.
H:"Woah woah woah! This has to be a mistake, I didn't do anything!"
G:"Save it, Stickmin."
Relief washed over my body when a familiar face emerged from the crowd, it was Charles, my boyfriend of two years. Though, no one knew that we were together. Everyone simply thought him and I were just really close. Immediately, he piped up.
C:"There's no way he could've done it, sir! Tell me the date and I know that I can prove his innocence."
It was good to know that I at least had one person on my side. Yet, the general completely ignored his adopted son, nodding to the officers. Feeling their hands try to force my wrists behind my back, I whipped around, knocking both men to the ground.
Then, it happened, everything occurring so fast. Galeforce pulled a handgun out, aiming it straight at me. Yet, right before he pulled the trigger, a shrill "NO!" rang through the air, a gunshot sounding at the same time. I clamped my eyes shut, opening them to dead silence.
There Charles was, standing in front of me as he clutched his chest, slowly sinking to the ground. Galeforce dropped the gun, clasping his now shaking hands over his mouth as he realized what he had done.
He had shot his own son.
I quickly fell to catch my boyfriend, my heart stopping when I saw the growing red spot in his shirt, right over his heart.
Realizing that no one was doing anything to help, everyone frozen, I screamed out, feeling tears collect in my eyes.
H:"What are you doing?! Someone call an ambulance!"
I began to desperately try to stop the bleeding, mumbling to the pilot as I did so. "I'm so sorry, this is my fault...you'll be okay, okay? We'll..we'll get this under control."
Galeforce attempted to approach his son, but I quickly gave him a death glare, shaking as I gritted my teeth.
