MIRAGE
[YIZHAN -Wattpad]
•••••••••

Wang Yibo was still crying inconsolably, holding the unconscious Leah in his arms. His hands were stained with the red, viscous liquid that was  oozing out with each passing second.

There was fear and desperation in his eyes, his body trembled as he tried to contain the liquid that was slipping through his fingers.

For Zhan's part, he was in a state of shock at the scene before his eyes. Although his fears had not come true, it had resulted in a great and regrettable tragedy.

- Move aside!.- Xiao Ce ran towards Yibo.- I have first aid skills.- He crouched down in front of Yibo.- Hand her over to me.

- She's bleeding a lot.- Yibo couldn't stop shedding tears and shaking even while holding his friend.- It's a lot of blood.

- Yibo...- Zhan ran towards him and took him by the shoulders.- Let the officer help.- His voice was shaky.- Let him save her.

- Yibo...- Volkov approached.

- Okay.- He nodded quickly.- Okay.- He carefully placed her in the younger officer's arms.

- Please.- Zhan's eyes were starting to fill with tears.- Do something official, Xiao.

- I already called the emergency services.- Volkov knelt next to Xiao Ce and then took the girl's head and carefully placed it on the ground.

- She still has a pulse.- Xiao Ce placed his fingers on the girl's neck.- But it's very weak.

- Please, please.- Yibo rubbed his hands together in supplication.- Please.

- Come...- Zhan took him by the arm and helped him up.- Everything will be okay.- He tried to hold back his tears.- Everything will be okay.

- It's my fault!.- He cried even harder.- It's my fault!.

- It's not.- He wrapped his arms around him.- It's not like that and I know Leah knows it.

- How long will it take for the ambulance to arrive?.- Xiao Ce was applying CPR.

- It must be close.- Volkov looked around.- Did anyone see what happened?

- They were practicing.- One of the girls approached.- Yibo was having some difficulties starting with the execution of his routine so Leah wanted to show him. She took his place because it was the best way to show him since she could memorize the movements. It's what we always do when one of us is having a hard time.- She rubbed her hands nervously.- Suddenly when she was in the air the rope came loose and she....- She brought her hands to her mouth and cried.

- Wait a minute.- Volkov frowned.- The rope broke?

- No, it just let go of the scaffolding.- One of the young men answered.

- We can't wait.- Xiao Ce took the girl in his arms.- If we stay here, she'll die on us.

- Come on, we'll go in my car.

- I...I'm going.- Yibo walked away from Zhan.- Please...

- Okay.- Zhan stopped him.- I'll go with you.- His hands trembled as he took Yibo's bloody hands.- But first... let's wash this.

- Nobody touches anything.- Volkov looked at those present seriously.- Leave everything as it is and if I find out that someone moved or contaminated something at the scene... I will take that person to the headquarters.- He spoke with such authority that everyone became agitated.
