No escape

Chapter three

The shot ringed in my ears as the bullet shot past my arm grazing it. It hurt like hell but then I thought, it would hurt even more if it actually went in instead, I consider myself lucky, kinda. Holding my shoulder I jump down from the tree only to land on my butt, oh great now that hurts too. I grab a branch to lift myself up but it brakes and I fall back down again landing on my already bruised butt. I sit still, forgetting that I hurt all over now. That snap was pretty loud, they probably heard it. And sure enough I hear someone's feet come crunching along towards me. I hold my breath as they come closer, closer, so ever closer until Max's figure comes out from behind a bush, he comes up to me and squats next to me.

"Are you okay" he says softly.

"Yes... but... why would you care"I ask

"Because I'm a detective trying to get evidence to lock us these guys for good, so everyone will be safe." WHAT, he's a detective! Oh well at least he won't kill me, will he?

"Will you kill me?" I ask him dreading the answer but needing to hear it anyway for my brothers sake.

His expression looks hurt."No I will not, how could you think that after what I did for you" he hisses at me, oh crap, now I made him mad.

"I just needed to know. And look here pal, I don't know you and brothers life is at risk, so excuse me if I'm a little doubtful right now," my voice has climbed till my voice makes me sound like I'm hyperventilating.

"Ok, ok just don't freak out on me here, because if you do then that will be one more problem I will have to deal with." I try to slow my breathing and around thirty seconds later I've calmed down.

"What should I do?" I ask.

"Run as far away as you can and don't come back" he says in a very serious voice. oh god i think im gonna crack up laughing at his serious voice is so funny, though i know better and keep the laughter in. Just. "I mean it go! Now!" he says as he grabs my arm, the one thats hurt, a whimper in pain trying not to scream out but he still notices. "What, are you hurt?" He asks in a concerned voice, boy can that guys tones change in a heartbeat.

"I got grazed by that bullet that that guy shot." then i have a thought, "you don't have a first aid kit by any chance, do you?" I hope he does, this arm is going to need a bandage and soon or else i might just pass out from lack of blood.

"No i don't but i can get you one. Just stay here ill be back in 5 minutes." He says as he starts to walk away from me and in the direction of my house. No its not my house anymore, I think, Im never going to get over that, i spent my whole life in that house and now i cant ever go back. Thats sad.

After 5 minutes Im starting to get restless and hungry. 5 minutes after that and Im worried. Just as Im starting to think, should i go without him or not, he walks so calmly around a bush,as if nothing has happened, thank the gods, he has a first aid kit in his left hand. He walks up to me and squats ,just as before.

"Are you ok" he asks just like before, what an idiot, he knows Im shot and he still asks if Im ok.

"What do you think?" I ask sarcastically rolling my eyes as I say it.

"Im guessing thats a no" he says uncertainly.

"Of course its a no are you an idiot or something?" I ask because well he was acting like an idiot right now.

"Do no call me an idiot, you cant talk, you were up a tree and got shot, now who's the idiot?" he asks, i have to admit he does have a point, but i will not back down, its not in my nature.

"You are, still, and you cant deny that" i say.

"How about we say that i won this fight and ill help you with that arm of yours, seeing as your dumb enough to go up in a tree and get shot by accident."

"How about you give me that first aid pack and we say i won then you run back to your pretty little friends, or else ill kick my foot up your ass." I say in a threatening voice.

"Oh, feisty aren't you. I like that in a woman." He says as he winks at me. o...k thats slightly disturbing, like he looks like 2-3 years older than me, ok thats not too bad but he looks like one of those goody too shoes but i like the bad boys. Don't ask me why I just do.

"Are you just going to sit there or are you going to help me with this" I say waving over my arm but being carful not to touch it.

"Oh, yeah right, sorry, I forgot." He then lays the first aid kit on the ground and unzips it. He than proceeds to take out stuff that i have no idea what they do and start to use them on my arm. After I feel a lot better, I cant feel any pain but I can still move my arm, wow he's good.

"Thank you."

"It's ok, now you need to get back to your brother. I assume he's with you."

"Oh shit, i totally forgot" I say getting up and rushing out of there, i need to get back to camp before my brother wakes up or else my brother is gonna freak. "Thank you" I say over my shoulder. what if he is already awake, what if an animal got to him. Ok ok i just need to calm down, I'm sure he's fine, I've only been gone, what, like 20 minutes. How much trouble can a boy get into in 20 minutes, ok with my brother thats a whole heap, shit i better hurry.
