One Shots 'The nursery nurse'

Business Meeting Part II

A loud bang echoed through the building.

Marjorie flinched. She looked at Winter, who was next to her, his expression shocked.

"What the hell! Nick, what is going on?"

The man stood up from his chair. "Looks like the boss has already finished his business. You know what that means." He stepped up to Marjorie, who was right in front of him and held the gun in her face.

" Wait!"

The man rolled his eyes. "What Buck?!"

"Let's wait until the boss comes back. Come on Nick, I thought I'd have some fun today."

" Once! Just once I want to see you leave your thing in your trousers! All right, then do it! But be quick, and finish her afterwards!"

Buck grinned dirty, he grabbed Charlotte and jerked her up. Winter tried to intervene and stop him, but was immediately hit in the face with a gun.

He went down, blood running from his cheek and dripping on the floor.

Charlotte was dragged out of the room and taken to another classrooms. He threw her aggressively into the room and she fell against a table. He immediately pounced on her.

Charlotte tried everything to push him away, but he was too strong. She squinted her eyes and hoped for a miracle.

As something dripped onto her face, the whole weight of the man collapsed over her, almost crushing her. He stopped moving. Someone pulled him off her.

Charlotte straightened up.
"Autumn!"

She stood in front of her. Her white blouse and hands were smeared with blood, gun in one hand.

Charlotte looked down to the ground where the man layed, a scissor sticking out of his neck, a large pool of blood already forming.

"Charlotte. Are you all right?"

" Yes... Is that your blood? What happened?"

Autumn came closer to her and helped her off the table. "No, not mine. He tried to shoot me and missed me by millimetres." Her blouse was torn on her right side and the skin underneath was slightly scratched. " I've triggered the silence alarm. Help should be here any minute. "

They walked to the door. " Get out of the back door. Tell the emergency services what's going on."

"Autumn, please be careful." She quietly walked down the corridor in the other direction and disappeared. On her way to the back door, she passed the manager's office, the door was open.

Charlotte walked past quickly without even looking in. She didn't want to know what had happened inside.

The mood in the baby room was becoming tense. Nick was getting more and more impatient.

"What the hell is taking so long?" He took a few steps backwards and looked out of the door.

"Buck! Are you ever going to be finish?"

No answer.

Marjorie plucked up all her courage, she had to do something and she had to do it now. She jumped up and ran towards the man in front of her.

Marjorie fell to her knees, her ears ringing. Someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her back.

"Marjorie! Look at me!". It was Winter kneeling next to her and pressing his hands with all his strength on her stomach.

She still didn't understand what had just happened. But suddenly she was lying in something wet.

"Damn it!" Nick shouted, smoke still coming out of his gun.

"Sorscha, I need your jumper!" shouted Winter.

Sorscha had to let go of Carly and came to Winter, she quickly took off her jumper, luckily she always wore a shirt underneath.

Winter ripped it out of her hand and pressed it onto Marjorie.

"Hey Marjorie, stay awake," said Sorscha and stroked her hair.

The sound of sirens rang out. Blue lights filled the car park in front of the building.

Nick decided to flee, running along the corridor. But he didn't get far when something hit his leg. He fell to the ground and cried out. A gaping hole adorned his thigh.

Footsteps came towards him and the gun was kicked out of his hand. Autumn stood over him and looked down.

"The game is over," she said and kicked him in the face.

The emergency services and police stormed the building.

"We'll be right behind you, Marjorie!" Sorscha called after her as she was loaded into the ambulance.

Autumn and Winter were also being cared for in another ambulance.

Carly had a blanket around her shoulders and something warm to drink in her hand, she was sitting in a police car, Charlotte standing right next to her.

Sorscha came to the two of them. " We were really lucky..."

Charlotte just nodded. " That could have ended more than badly. Did there say anything to Marjorie?"

" That she'll make it."

" Good."

A shadow now layed over the Nursery, Roger's dirty businesses had reviled their ugly head. And who knows what's will come next.
