With a heavy heart, Erin ran away as fast as she could. She ran as she was getting her phone out of her pocket. When she got it, she quickly called for help, but right before someone spoke on the other line, she heard a loud gunshot. She stopped and looked back.
At that moment, her legs refused to go any further. Her fear grew even more thinking that she left Kith with an armed man.
As she was frantically retracing the call she made on her phone, she saw a car dashed out of the parking lot exit. She quickly ducked behind a lamp post to hide. When the car passed by her at high speed, she spotted Mr. Nolan through the window, but she did not see Kith with him inside.
A bad feeling instantly struck her. She darted fast back to the apartment's parking lot crying in fear.
"Kith!" she called when she got through the entrance, but she couldn't see him anywhere.
"Kith!" she called again, running to her car.
When she reached it, her heart shattered when she found him there lying on the floor unmoving. His front shirt was covered in blood.
She ran to him and dropped on her knees. She held his face and tried to wake him up. "Kith... Kith, please wake." she called, sobbing. "Help! Please, somebody help us!" she screamed desperately.
Some of people in the apartment building who heard the gunshot came to help. They immediately called for an ambulance.
"Kith, please, please, don't die." Erin cried, seeing his blood spreading across the floor.
When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics quickly checked and assessed his vitals. Then, they carefully lifted him to the stretcher and took him inside the truck.
Erin did not leave his side. "Please, save him, please." she begged, sobbing breathlessly.
"We'll do everything we can." one of the attendants said.
When they cut Kith's shirt open, the gunshot wound on his abdomen appeared. Erin was deeply distraught watching a lot of blood gushing out of it.
Halfway to the hospital, as they were working on him to keep him alive with initial support, one of them uttered words that gave Erin tremendous fear.
"We're losing him."
For a moment, she felt as if she got sucked into a deep pit. Her mind shut. Her sight blacked out, and her body became numb and motionless.
