Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Chapter 4

Ky drove to the house she and Troy shared. She went over how she was going to handle the conversation with him. She went through the house like a demon. Ky tore open drawers, cabinets, and closets. She went through each room. The last room she checked, their room, she felt in her gut. She should have looked in first.

She opened all the dresser drawers, shuffling things around. She found a gun in his drawer. Going to the closet flung open the doors and took out his clothes and hers. She grabbed the suitcase, shoving her things in.

Heading to the bathroom, she grabs some of her toiletries, still going over this conversation. "Ok, He will say, Ky baby, listen I was with Mrs. Gladden, you know she gets grabby , and I'll say, You're right, but where were you, and Johnny said something stupid like you're the Chief of Police."
She nods, agreeing with herself that it sounds right. "Then Troy will say, baby, you know he has always had a thing for you . I'll say no, he has Ish."
Mimicking the hand gestures as she's having this conversation with herself, picturing the conversation. It sounded plausible. " He'll say , Nah baby, but it's true, he hates me always has." Mimicking Troy .

Kyouki nodded again. She needed to have this right. She was still going to spend the time with Gat and Ish. But she needed Johnny wrong. She needed to hear it from Troy's lips. Still tossing things into the suitcase and travel bag, Ky goes to snatch a box that contains her favorite heels, and a box next to it tumbles out of the closet.

Dodging the falling box heard the clatter when it hit the floor, she peeked over her shoulder, seeing it laying there with its lid off has an old badge, some other medals and bullet shells, and a photo of the Saints during a summer BBQ they held, purple headband, scattered, and something alarmingly odd; a sweatshirt with blood. She gasped. It was the sweatshirt she had on the night Lin died. There like a fallen flag on the floor.

~*Nov. 98'*~

Li was hearing Troy calling to her, in and out of consciousness, the pain was too much. Troy carried her to one of the safe houses. Dex and Johnny met them when Troy called frantic.

"Put her on the table. We have to get the bullet out!" Johnny taking her from his arms.

Dex was rushing to get the medical kit, and Johnny punched Troy in the face soon as he laid her on the table seeing the blood pouring from her side.

"Fuck is wrong with you!?" Johnny screamed at Troy, pulling off the sweatshirt over Li's head, hurling it at Troy.

"Baby, I'm sorry, I..." Troy came to take her hand, Johnny punched him again.

"Fuck is Lin?" Johnny poured water and vodka on the wound, Li screamed in pain, Johnny pressed her back down on the table, Dex came over just in time snapping a glove on, feeling in the hole feeling for the bullet.

Li moaned in pain, tears streaming down her face. She gasped loudly when Dex fished around finding the bullet. She screamed again when Johnny flushed the wound again, then poured water, making sure it was clean.

Troy winced watching her hurting and remembered, "It was the Rollerz, fucking Sharpe killed Lin, I - I have to go get her body!" Troy was shook, he ran to get Lin from where she was still floating. None of this should have happened.

~*S.R.1*~

Her face twisted in anger, tears stinging her eyes. That night, Troy saved her. She assumed he just followed her. Then she realized, "You're in prison for your protection." Why had she been in prison and not a hospital?
"I was on life support. He kept me alive for five years? No... no.... that's not... right? That makes no sense." Pulling her phone from her pocket going to dial Johnny.
