Vienna ~ La Casa de Papel

...But a War

We all have snipers aiming at our hearts. The bullet doesn't hurt us as much when we're the ones who are hit, it hurts when it's someone you love most.

We put her on a surgical table with wheels and ran her to the the most open room as Rio started to get the surgical things set up.

Helsi and Bogotá lifted her top half up and started to take down her jumpsuit as she struggled to breathe. We knew we had to take the bullet out, we just didn't know how.

We had to roll her to the side so that Rio could scan for where exactly the bullet was. It had pierced the bottom of her lung.

"A collapsed lung." Bogotá panted.

"Tokyo get the surgical kit." I told her. She ran to get it and Nairobi couldn't breathe.

"Hurry she can't breathe!" Monica shouted.

Tokyo handed Helsinki the tool and he then pressed it into her chest.

She gasped and she was now able to breathe again. I sighed of relief.

"Vienna get me out of here." She panted. "I would rather be in a prison alive than dead, I don't want to die."

I looked at her and just cried. I obviously didn't want to loose her but if she wanted to be alive and out of here, then that's what I would do.

"Please, please." She cried.

Everyone looked at each other not knowing what to say. It was heartbreaking.

I just stroked the hair out of her face and tried to comfort her knowing that the worst was yet to come.

20 minutes later:

I went upstairs and started talking to the professor on the walkie talkie.

"Did you kill any officers?" He asked.

"I'm not sure, they were all on fire." I replied. "They're going to attack us worse and we can't defend ourselves. And Nairobi needs a surgeon."

"They won't send one." He spoke.

"She's got a bullet in her fucking lung. None of us can do it you have to try something." I told him. "She's dying professor."

He was silent for a moment and then heard him softly cry and felt instantly sorry for him.

I heard faint gunshots in the background.

"I need to go." He panted. "But I will try."

I went downstairs to see them all with surgical kit on ready to perform surgery on her.

"Nairobi, we're putting you under now." Rio told her.

"No, Vienna no don't let them." She spoke weakly. "Tell them it's my life, I decide."

I panted and then started to walk towards them.

"She's decides." I said. "Period."

Nairobi sighed of relief and Tokyo had a soft smile on her face agreeing with me.

"Helsinki, put her under. That's a fucking order." Palermo told him.

He shook his head.

"You don't give me orders. You're not my boss asshole." He responded. "You're meant to protect us but guess who let the phone in? She made mistakes but you're making the worst ones!"

"Shut the fuck up or I'll fucking kill you!" Palermo took out his gun and pointed it at Helsi. "You're my whore not my mom. It's her fault she's in this state, she's an idiot."
