Black Death (MiniCat)

Chapter 10- Nicknames

Craig's/Mini's POV

I couldn't knot with my hands since I was trying to hold Tyler, so I kicked it three times as if I were knocking. Brian opened the door and ushered us in. "What the hell happened?!" Brian exclaimed. "I'll tell you later! I need some bandages, tweezers,  alcohol,  water, and two rags! Now!" I demanded. "Where are we going to get all of that?!" Evan shouted. "Find an alternative or something! Anything close to those things will do!" I yelled. "Who is that..." Lui questioned, he seems in some sort of daze. "I'm Marcel! But that doesn't really matter right now!" Marcel answered. "O-Oh okay! Yeah. Um... Okay!" Lui stuttered, snapping out of his daydream. What's up with him? "This way." I informed as we carried Tyler to our room. We laid him on the bed. I pressed my fingers where his pulse should be. There's still a beat so he's okay! Thank God... I'm going to kill him when he gets better! After a few minutes, Brock came in followed by Jonathan. They were both carting supplies. They had a half empty beer bottle, two bandanas, a water canteen, a towel, and a pair of tweezers. "Okay! Perfect! Bring them over here!" I ordered. They did as I said. I grabbed the water canteen and untied my hoodie  to reveal his wound. Idiot... Why didn't he just let me get shot. I poured the water in the wound to clean it out. I grabbed the tweezers and attempted to pull the bullet out. Tyler screamed. "Well, at least he's awake." I stated. "Sorry babe, but it's gotta come out, and this isn't even the worst part." I informed. Tyler groaned  partially in pain and partially in annoyance. I used one hand to pull the bullet out and the other to hold Tyler's hand. "If it hurts just squeeze my hand, okay?" I asked. Tyler just nodded and threw his head back. I pulled the bullet out and placed it on our nightstand. I poured more water in it. "Want a drink?" I asked as I put the canteen next to his mouth. He denied it so I continued to work. "Here comes the worst part, okay. After this it's smooth sailing." I informed him. "Okay..." Tyler responded weakly. The sound of him like this makes me want to break down in tears. I can't do it in front of him, or the others. I need to at least look strong willed. I don't want to look vulnerable. I grabbed the water and pored it onto one of the bandanas and placed it over his forehead. He flinched at the touch of the cold item. I sighed as I poured the alcohol on the second bandana. "You ready?" I asked as I held the bandana over his wound. He simply noted and clenched my hand. I squeezed the alcohol out onto his wound. He tightly shut his eyes and gritted his teeth. E let out a whimper as he basically crushed my hand. For a moment I thought he was going to break my hand. I tossed the beer drenched cloth to the side and poured the ret of the water in his wound. I grabbed the towel and tightly wrapped it around him. "We need to find more towels or anything else that's clean and comfortable, so it doesn't get infected." I stated as I relaxed. I let out my breath that I didn't know I was holding until now. "Damn... Were you a doctor before all of this?" Jonathan asked. "Nope... I watched it on YouTube. I've also seen this in a couple movies, so I guess that helped..." I stated as I scratched the back of my neck. "Dude! We should have nicknames!" Lui exclaimed in his high-pitched voice. Marcel giggled. "Okay, Jonathan! You're  are the craziest person I've ever met so we should call you Delirious!" Evan shouted. Jonathan chuckled. "You can be Vanoss!" Delirious yelled. "Vanoss?" Brian questioned. "I don't know... It's just the first thing that popped up in my head!" Jonathan said with another chuckle. "I already have a nickname, fockers!" David shouted with a strange voice. We all laughed, including Tyler. He flinched afterwards. Poor Tyler... They won't get away with this... "Craig!" Nogla yelled. "Shit... Yeah?" I replied. "You're short... And you're are a good doctor n' shit... So we should call you Tiny the Medic!" Nogla suggested. "No... Tiny isn't that catchy... How about Mini the Medic?" Brain pointed out. "That'll work too!" David agreed.  "Brian! You loved the Terminator back before everything, so why don't we call you Terrorizer?" Brock stated.  "Yeah! And you should be Moo or Moose since you liked traveling to Moose? Remember?" Terrorized asked. "Yeah! That'll work." Moo said. "Lui could be  squeaker... Ya know... Cause his voice." Marcel said bashfully.  "Yep, that's basically me!" Lui said in his funny voice. Marcel giggled.  "Hmmm. Let's call you Basically since we don't exactly know you that well yet." Nogla suggested. "That sounds good to me!" Marcel replied. "Let's call Tyler Wildcat! He's pretty much insane and he's a fucking tiger!" I exclaimed. Everyone nodded in agreement except for Tyler who was groaning in pain.
