Vegaspete: College Universe

Chapter 23

The morning dwells with the silence that felt like an infinity, the blares of the turbulent future were waiting at the doorsteps, too hard to resist, it was signified, nothing was same as it was.

I had a headache, may be from lack of sleep, or thinking too much or maybe both. I went down stairs to get myself a cup of coffee, the taste of what they serve to the room doesn't really suit my taste buds, I am used to of the coffee machine. Sipping it down, it was enhancing my inner peace that I was craving for, even for a couple of minutes.

The hospital was dead silent, doctors and nurses of night shift were about to go home. A group of guys made their way inside, 3 of them, none looking as if they were here for treatment. I finished my cup, and was heading back, but I got a call from my grandma, excusing myself, I went to the cafeteria.

" Grandma, I told you, it's nothing to worry, I was just a bit busy these days.... No.. Nothing about it... I am just doing fine... Take care.... Ask grandpa to get his check up regularly..."

Bang! Bang!

I heard gunshots, the fear in me rose like a thunderbolt, I sprinted back to the area, Like a flash of light, my world was about to crumble if what I was thinking comes to reality. No, he will be okay. I called Kinn and ran as my life depended on it.

I reached the floor, the two guards of Kinn, lying dead on the ground, lifeless, blood oozing from the hole in their foreheads, I froze at the sight, too hesitant to wait, I was shaking a bit, I looked around, for something like a weapon, the guns of the guards caught my sight, I grabbed it, without wasting any time.

Anyways, I took a breath and opened the door wide, one was directing gun towards Vegas, other was lying dead, and one was held captive my him,  on his gunpoint.

"Pete... Go back... Go... "

"I am here for you. "

"I said go back.... Call Kinn... "

"I did, but I am not gonna go. "

In less than a second, I shoot, the guy, fell down on  his knees, his eyes, blood red eyes, looking at me, I killed a person. My eyes not even moving anywhere, Vegas immediately finished off the other and limping he got to me, I held his right arm and led him outside, to the room nearby, it was a doctor's cabin.

I was silent, looking at the gun in my hands, I was a murderer now, I took a life. I could have just wounded him enough to not to kill him, it was for protection but  I felt awful.

"You... Are you okay.... How can you be that gutsy to jump in the middle of the scene, he might have shot you."

"He could have shot you too..."

"You are my priority. "

" You are mine too, I also felt the same way, okay? "
I shouted, was he really scolding me for saving him?

"Vegas... If you think that I am a weak, you better correct yourself, Yeah... I feeling fucking awful now, but if I have to do it again, I will, yeah I will kill dozens, just to save you. "

"Now stay still until I come, okay? " He nodded and I went out, the hospital staff and people gathered, I slid by, heading out, it isn't safe here.

Kinn just arrived at the time, I got hold of him and we went along, making a way secretly for Vegas to exit. The van was large enough for his stretcher to fit in, I hoped along in the front seat, I can't really face Vegas now, he might ask me questions I don't want to answer.

We got him out, the same place Vegas once brought me, when I filmed him, wasn't the best option though but safe for now. Struggling, we got him upstairs, a doctor was already their, checking us both, because he urged for me to get checked too, though all I did was pull a trigger.
