Killing Me Slowly (Third Book to the Secrets Will Kill You Series)

Then There Were None...Part 2

I spun to Gwen. "No, no, no, no" I whispered as I started to try and pump her heart back to life and plug the hole up.

"What the hell happened?" Samuel demanded.

I didn't have words.

"Mel, where's Dean?" Sam asked.

I remained unresponsive and I think I was kind of in shock that he actually shot at me.

"Mel? Mel? Hey, look at me" Brit said and forced me to stop the compressions so Rufus could take over.

She put my face in her hands so I would look at her. "What happened" she asked, gently and I just stared at her for a moment.

"I-I don't know...Dean just shot Gwen and then he shot at me and when he heard you guys coming he took off" I explained and I was able to hear how shaken up I really was.

"I knew you should've stayed in the car. Her fever is getting to the best of her" she said to Sam as she helped me to my feet and he came back.

I ignored her and looked at the others. "Is she..."

"She's gone..." Bobby said to me, gently. Then, he looked up at the others. "I'm sorry...if you care"

"Screw you. I care" Samuel spat.

"Where's Dean?" Katherine asked.

"I couldn't find him. Whatever got into those guys must have got into Dean" Sam said.

"Rufus, help Samuel and George move her somewhere. Sam, Brit, Katherine and I will lock down here. We're gonna want to find Dean before he finds us" Bobby instructed.

"And what am I supposed to do?" I asked.

"You're going to sit down where I can see you. No one needs you to pass out right now" he said and I sighed.

I sent death stares to Samuel, George and Katherine as Sam and Brit did the same. "We're going to find him alive, you all, got that?" Brit snapped.

"Or else we'll be putting bullets in all your heads" Sam said.

But, I stepped forward. "When we're done here. I'm putting bullets in all your heads anyway" I hissed and then spun to walk off with Bobby, Brit and Sam.

I sat down on a cargo box, feeling so drained and useless and tired while the others locked down the doors and windows. But, then, I sneezed.

"Ah crap" I muttered. I looked around to see I was in some completely different hallway. "Brit? Sam?" I called out. "Bobby? Rufus?" I called out again.

"Melissa?" I heard Rufus' voice.

"I'm over here!" I called to him.

"Mel?" I heard a different gruff voice.

I spun to see Dean get up with a gun in his hand. I froze in my spot. "Dean, put that damn thing down" Rufus said, grabbing my arm to get me behind him.

Then, Samuel and George came running in and pointed their guns at him but he pointed his gun at them as well. "Dean, put it down" Rufus repeated.

"You're the least of my worries right now, Rufus" Dean said.

"Hey, hey, hey" Sam said as him, Brit, Bobby and Katherine came running in.

"Okay, both of you" Bobby addressed them.

"Both of us, my ass" Rufus grunted.

"I'm not in the mood. I just had a 12-inch...Herpe crawl out of my ear" Dean said with disgust.
