Pull your Life Together

Chapter 12- intercepted and downed

"this wasn't a good idea..ughhh" vi groaned out softly unable to move from the pain. she had thought her pain tolerance was high but she was way wrong after this. she had also thought she managed to break past the other officers about bing from Zaun, but she was clearly wrong in that regard. she whimpered softly as she tried to rearrange her limbs to at least pull herself up, but none of them wanted to corporate, and shot blinding pain up her veins. she was half glad, half annoyed they managed to jump her in a alley of all places, and tried yet again to pull herself up crying out again as she hit the floor.

it started out as a normal day. they came into the office and was immediately swarmed by the chief who handed them paperwork to  fill out. around lunchtime vi had managed to get away from the paperwork, yet has not been able to bring her partner away, so went on her own and got lunch for the both of them, which was now splattered all over the floor and walls of the alleyway. the enforcers that did this were probably long gone and back at the office now. she took a deep breath and pulled herself up biting her lip and quickly tasting blood from how hard shes biting her lip. she was able to get on her feet, but was lening very heavily on the wall, breathing shaky and very heavy and black spots filling her vision.

she knew that if she didn't get back soon, caitlyn would worry about where she was, and if she was okay, but as soon as she took a step she fell flat on her face, unable to catch herself as her vision went black. her shoulder took most of the impact but when she didn't move again it was safe to say she was out cold.

Caitlyn was getting worried. she knew that Vi could handle herself, hell she survived Stillwater hold for so long, and life in the undercity. so she knew that vi was tough, but she still couldn't help but worry about her. it was getting darker, and her partner had yet to come back with lunch.. or even a snack. a few enforcers came in, some spots of blood on their uniform but they brushed it off to patrolling in the undercity. caitlyn knew them and they didn't like Vi, but she had nothing to prove her point so she just glared at them. Caitlyn got up, shaking her thoughts away to clear her head and walked quickly out of the building and towards the main streets of piltover. there was one shop Vi loved to go to for lunch, every single day for lunch so she prayed that Vi was there and she lost track of time.

seeing the little shop empty, expect for the owner and a few other customers. seeing the sheriff, the owner smiled and walked up. "hi caitlyn! are you here to eat?" caitlyn smiled gently and shook her head. "not today ma'am, im looking for Vi, was she in here?" the owner nodded. "Oh yes, she was here around her usual time, and left around 20 minutes later. did she not return to you?" "no.. and its been over 3 hours since she went to get lunch... did you notice anything unusual about her? or did she say anything of where she went after she came here?" the owner shook her head, then looked thoughtful. "there were a few other enforcer following her after she left... they followed her until they were out of sight. went towards the library." thank you ma'am, ill be on my way, have a good day." caitlyn smiled and walked out briskly walking towards the library, though stopped short when she saw a dark figure laying on the ground of a alleyway in the corner of her eye. freezing, she turned and walked towards the figure, refusing to leave someone if they are hurt, but as she got closer, the more familiar the shape looked. she recognized the pink jacket anywhere and paired with the hot pink hair she finally froze.

laying face down, seeming to be unconscious and wounded badly. Caitlyn immediately dropped to her knees and put two fingers to her neck and checked for a pulse sighing in relief when she found one. sitting back on her heels she studied the brawler in front of her. bruising lined her arms and neck and face, and probably worse but she didn't want to risk it. gently shaking the brawlers shoulder she got a whimper instead. Caitlyn softener her gaze softly and murmured gently while shaking her partner again. "hey.. cmon Vi you need to get up okay?" vi whimpered and opened her eyes slightly mumbling something caitlyn wasn't able to catch. "hey Vi focus on me hon.. there you are.." vi focused as much as she could on caitlyn and whimpered softly. "cai-lyn...?" her voice slurred slightly as caitlyn carefully help her up her heart clenching in sympathy at vis soft whimpers and groans.

"cmon we need to get you to the hospital.."
