Stay With Me

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

We were told the guys location. We also found out that not only did he sneak drugs into work, but he's also a dealer. We are sent undercover to find out. He was near some bank or business building-like thing. We went to that area, and spotted him seated on a bench. We walked near him, grabbing a magazine off the stand nearby, and "read" it. He started to get up, so we followed him. We stayed kinda far back so it wasn't so obvious. He started going to where there wasnt as many people. We walked behind him for a while. Then Eliot spoke up.

"Excuse me sir," he started, causing the man to stop and turn around.

"Yeah?" he said, looking at us suspiciously.

"Me and my girlfriend here we're wondering where to get um....you know what?" he lied, looking the guy dead in the eye.

"Yeah local stores don't have what we want. They got the cheapo crap. We heard you were one of the best dealers around" I continued, playing along. He stared at us for a minute, wondering of he should trust us.

"Yeah I probably got what you need" he said, after thinking. He pulled out a variety of plastic bags from his jacket pocket.

"I got your basic marajuania, heroin. Then we get into some specific steroids." he said, explaining each bag. We each took one, looking at them carefully.

"You know who else would like this?" i asked, peering at the strange substances in the bags.

"Who?" he asked, confused.

"The police. Hands behind your back, you're under arrest for the illegal possession of drugs" I said, the both of us showing our badges, and Eliot pulling out his handcuffs. He looked at us in shock, before making a run for it. He sprinted down the street, startling some pedestrians walking by. We followed close behind.

"Stop! Stop!" we kept yelling. The guy turned around in mid-jog and pulled out a gun. We stopped and pulled out ours. He fired 3 or 4 times. He mis-fired, screams and chaos erupting quickly. People dodging and ducking their heads, running into nearby stores. I loaded the barrel of my gun and was about to shoot for the first time. He beat me to it. He shot first, I shot a millisecond later before an agonizing pain was growing in my stomach and chest. Eliot was yelling something that I couldn't hear. There was a loud ringing in my ears. My head was pounding. I put my hand over the areas that were hurting. That's when I realized something.

He had shot me.
