ISABELLA P.O.V

I feel his solid chest leans againts to me, I feel the base of something large and heavy press into my waist. 'Oh my god! Baril ba 'yon? Teka..balak ba niya akong patáyin?'

"That's better. Now, if I move my hand, you gonna promise not to scream, okay?"

Tumango ako, inalis na nga nito ang kamay niya sa baywang ko and sliding it up to my neck to gently grip it. "What do you want?" tanong nito.

"I..could ask you that question!" sabi ko and then I feel my hand shaking right now, he smirk.

"M-Malinaw na..h-hindi ito ang bathroom.." sabi ko dito. "What were you looking for, huh?" matapang kong tanong. Narinig ko ang mahina nitong pagtawa sa akin at magsasalita sana ako when I feel something warm and wet on my skin.

"You're bleeding----!"

"So it would seem, yes." sabi nito then I gulped a little bit.

"You caught me looking for a free room to patch myself up. Am I in trouble Doc?" tanong nito so tinitigan ko siya ng deretso.

"You will be if you don't let me go." saad ko dito. His eyes pulse as he stares at me, a hint for a smirk lingers at the edge of his mouth.

"You always this..fierce?" He asked so I roll my eyes and look at him.

"Are you crazy? You going to keep asking me question while you continue bleed out, or hahayaan mo akong gamutin ang sugat mo?!" inis kong tanong.

He shrug, then step back a little, yumuko naman ako ng konti and then carefully pull his torn shirt away from his skin para makita ang sugat nito at nanlaki ang mga mata ko at napalunok. "You've been shot?!!"

"I know." seryoso nitong sabi kaya napatitig ako sakaniya.

"Dammit...I don't see an exit wound. Kailangan mong macheck in so I can assess the blood loss and your vitals----"

"No! No check-ins." seryoso niyang sabi kaya napabuga ako.

"Pero maaari kang mamatay---"

"And you're not gonna let that happen, right?" seryosong sabi nito at tinutok nanaman nito ang baril sa akin kaya napasinghap ako.

"Listen to me whoever you are, Doctor ako dito at hindi magician---!"

"Just pull the bullet out, patch me up, and send me on my way---without the paperwork---are we clear?" galit nitong sabi kaya napabuntong hininga ako, kung ayaw nitong magkaroon ng record dito sa hospital ay malamang involve siya sa illegal.

Parang nasense naman nito ang hesitation sa akin, that's why he gently grips my chin with his thumb and forefinger and raises it, "Want me to beg, Doc?" tanong nito kaya tiningnan ko siya sa mata niya.

"Well...you don't need to beg, It's my job." sabi ko dito.

"Dámn. I half expected na paluluhurin mo ako..Oh well, maybe some other time?" natatawa nitong sabi kaya kinunutan ko siya ng noo ko.

Nang biglang isang iyak na sumisigaw ang narinig ko sa may pinto. "What the----?" Lalapitan ko sana para tingnan ang nangyayare pero bigla ako nitong hinila at hawak nanaman nito ang baril niya.

"Sorry, but that's our cue to hurry this along." sabi nito.

"Bakit? Ano bang nangyayare ha?" tanong ko.

"Better you don't ask question." seryoso nanaman niyang sabi.

Napasimangot ako sa kaniya at napatingin sa sarili ko at sa hawak kong scrubs na punong-puno na nang dugo ng lalaki. "Shít, look, I better run to my locker and switch these for a clean set of scrubs---"
