Guardian

Chapter 11

Jason saw the man was not moving, but he went over to check his friend. "Randall, are you alright?"

Randall moaned. "It... hurts!"

Jason looked down and under the moon's light, he saw something liquid on Randall's right side, just above his lower right arm. He knew he had been shot just then.

Jason knew he had to help him. He had to get him back to the car. "Can you stand?"

"Yes." Randall replied.

Jason helped the lizard to his feet. Randall held his wound with his hands. Then Jason went to cuff John. After he did that, he dragged him back to his car, going through the gate. There were no animals on the property luckily. Randall followed behind him.

John was still unconscious. Jason got his first aid kit out quickly. But he hurriedly put John in the back seat beside Quentin. Then he and Randall went inside the house. Jason called for help. He would need help bringing these men into the station when he had Randall to worry about.

Jason quickly wrapped Randall's wound. There was pinkish blood running down from it.

"Randall, you're okay!" Jo said.

"Not really, Kid." Randall said.

"Randall, you stay inside." There were sirens coming.

Randall hid in a bedroom, but he could only hold on so much longer. The pain was becoming too much. Jo wanted to stay with him, but Jason said that she needed to be confirmed found.

The back up police came and confirmed Jo was found and they took the two men off his hands. Jason would take care of Jo. After they left, other cops began to take footage of the house. Jason had Randall and Jo sneak out the back before they got inside though.

They got to the car and Randall needed the back seat for himself to lay on. Jo rode up front. "Keep applying pressure to the wound." Jason said.

"I am."

"Randall's hurt?" Jo asked.

"Yes. He was shot, Jo. I'm going to get him some help."

"No! Ah!" Randall cried out.

"I know a place that takes exotic animals. They are the better ones to take care of the injury, Randall. I'll make sure to make them promise not to tell anyone about you." Jason said.

Jason called the vet clinic on his phone where this was and a lady answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello. I'm Officer Monroe. I have a big lizard with me that has been shot. He's needs immediate medical attention!" Jason said into his cell phone.

"What kind of lizard?"

"I don't know. Just a big one. Can I bring him to you? If he doesn't get help, he could die!"

"Yes, yes. Bring it in."

"I'll be there in about in fifteen minutes." Jason said and hung up.

Randall was still wary about this, but the pain was driving him crazy.

Jason turned on his siren to make sure that other drivers got out of his way on his way to the animal hospital.

Jo was all new to this, but she knew that her lizard friend needed help.

Randall didn't feel very good. "Hurry! It's getting worse!" Randall moaned. His hand was still on it. His blood was soaking the bandage.

"Almost there." Jason said.
