If Lee Survived

Chapter 7 Born in Chaos (Pt2)

Lee

I held my hand up in defense. " Wait. I don't want any trouble." I said as he looked me over, his eyes lingering on my missing arm.

He didn't say anything as his hands shook and he stared at me. He was afraid. " Can you... Understand me?" I asked.

He nodded. " I am Arvo. I'm going to go, I don't want to shoot anyone." He said his voice quivering with fear and his hand trembling violently.

" Okay, Arvo. You don't have to shoot anyone. Just put the gun down." I said still holding my hand out.

Jane snuck up behind him, covering his mouth and grabbing his gun from him. " Back up." She demanded turning the gun on him. Jane looked down at the bag and then back at him. " Put the bag down."

Arvo glared at her before dropping the bag. " Lee, make sure he doesn't have any other weapons in there."

I opened the bag as Arvo tried to convince Jane that he had no guns and that he just wanted to leave.

I stared down at the bag in shock. Jane looked down at me and gasped. " Holy shit." She mumbled looking down at all the medicine In the bag.

" Take whatever you want. But don't take the medicine. It's for my sister. My older sister. She is sick. The pain makes her cry and that makes those things come. Please. This medicine is all she has." Arvo pleaded looking from Jane to me.

" Is it just you and your sister?" I questioned looking up at him. He shook his head. " No, I have many friends... In the woods." He explained.

" We can't take this... Just..let him go." I said closing the bag and standing up. Jane looked at me with confusion.

" Lee! Are you crazy?? We have people who could use that medicine. Sister or not, we could use that stuff!" Jane said pointing the gun at Arvo.

" No! You are not a nice person. You have already left me defenseless, and now you want to take my sister's medicine? You are-" the man began to speak in Russian.

" Hey! We have people who are suffering, who need this medicine . Luke's still a mess after Carver's, and Rebecca's in pain... Look at all of it, Lee , we need that stuff!" She yelled.

" But it's wrong. What if his sisters really sick!" I questioned.

" He's lying! Lee, think about Rebecca. Think about the group. " She pushed.

I stared down at the bag as Arvo and Jane argued over who's group was suffering. Jane had a point. Rebecca's about to have that baby any time now. And Luke is still messed up from Carvers. But on the other hand, taking this medicine would be wrong right?

I could help my my group with this medicine... Or I could let them suffer to keep another group from suffering. " Lee, we don't have much time. " Jane stated causing me to sigh.

" I'm sorry, I can't take his medicine. " I sighed about to close the bag when Jane snatched the bag.

" If you won't take it... I will." Jane sneered at me .His scared face suddenly left as he glared at jane. " You will wish you hadn't done this" He threatened.

Jane paused as she the bag. She suddenly grabbed him slamming him against the railing of the deck.

" No! What are you doing?You.. You don't have to do this!Just let me go." Arvo cried as she held the gun to his head.

" Jane! You already took his medicine. Do you really need to kill him?" I asked slowly stepping towards her.

"We let him go, and he could come back with his group. It's too risky." She argued pressing the gun more to his head. I sighed shaking my head in disappointment.
