Port Mafia Arc The Fallen Angel

chapter four

"If it was anyone else I would just leave them behind." Chuuya grumbles. He is not happy about having to carry Dazai all the way to the car.

He already starts walking without asking for help. I run over and take Dazai's other arm. "Thanks."

We get to the van and dump Dazai in the back. Chuuya slides in next to him and I stand near the window. To anyone watching it would just look like two teenagers carrying their drunk friend home after a party.

In reality they were carrying their friend home after getting shot.

I move Dazai over so I can look at the bullet wound.

Thank god I have a medical kit in my bag.

I get the bullet out with some tweezers and clean it with alcohol wipes.

It must hurt like hell but he stays still and lets me work.

I finish bandaging his shoulder and move to his leg. The bullet entered just below his knee. It looks like it hit a bone but didn't break it. Just a hairline fracture. The bullet didn't go as deep so it's easier to get out then the other one.

I use the tweezers again but I accidentally nik him on the inside of the wound. He gasps with pain and grabs Chuuya's hand. Chuuya looks a little startled but doesn't let go.

I can almost hear Sylvia (Ray) squealing right now.

I git it out without nicking him again, thankfully. He doesn't let go of Chuuya's hand though. His grip visibly tightens when I clean it. The alcohol must sting a lot. I finish bandaging it and move away. I go digging in my bag for some painkillers. The best I can find is some thalianol.. He takes one with some water from the bottle I bought. Chuuya and I help Dazai into the seat of the car. Dazai gets in first and Chuuya takes the middle leaving me with the window seat.

They are still holding hands.

"We should get going, those guards aren't going to stay down forever." We start driving back towards the arcade.

"Are you doing okay over there Dazai?" I ask.

"Yeah, it hurts less but I can still feel it." He says with a grimace.

"You can let go of Chuuya's hand now." I tease him.

He shakes his head no and leans on Chuuya's shoulder.

"Okay. We're in the car. Now tell me who you are." He says, pointing at me.

"My name is Angela carter. I am 15 years old and I was abducted by the Port Mafia three days ago. Do I need to keep going or is that okay?" I say.

"What is your ability? "Some kind of lightning?" He asks me. He moves a little and Dazai pulls him back. I think he might actually be falling asleep. After everything he is taking a nap in the car.

Now that is an achievement.

"Not just lightning. I can mimic other people's abilities. And long story short, that was my mom's ability." I say.

"Okay. So who was the transparent girl in the base?"

"That was my sister Sylvia. She's dead. My ability also ties the spirits of gifted people to me so when they die I get stuck with them. I had asked her to show herself to you guys so it didn't look like I was talking to nothing."

"How did she die?"

"Suicide. She jumped off a bridge about three years ago." I say.

Chuuya glances over at Dazai. He is quiet for a while. Dazai is definitely asleep now. He's even snoring a little.
