Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Chapter 16

Could someone stop this awkward silence?

It has been a standstill and it's complete silence since a while ago. Everyone is still in the same stance.

"Okay. I think I'll just give up just for right now." Lars drops his gun and the soldiers swarm around him. "Remember, I'm a friend and I'm here to help you." He smiles.

What the hell? Can someone stop this complete mindfuck?

The soldiers go near Jason and check his pockets and arrest him. The soldiers help me and the others in an ambulance.

I see a lot of injured and dead people everywhere. I guess Chicago is at full alert and the other cities are warned about this attack. I do hope the army could get useful information from Jason and Lars about the projects.

The others and I were in an ambulance and we were taken to a hospital. On the way there I could see police cars and ambulances going to the street where there are still a lot of injured people.

We arrive at the hospital and I see a lot of injured people on a bed and a lot of nurses and doctors, I don't know how to differentiate between a nurse and a doctor.

What I don't understand is none of me or my friends are injured but they sent us in the hospital. Maybe it's the safest place to put us but I still don't understand.

We decided to just stay here as to not disturb what the people are doing. I mean it's their job and right now is their moment to do their job. I just hope that no one died because it's gonna be kinda our fault, we dragged our problems to the innocent people of Chicago.

"You want to go out?"

"Yeah." Javièr yawns. "It's boring in here."

We go out and we just walk going back to the hotel. We pass by a lot of internet café, coffee shops, and a lot more. We go by a dark alleyway and we hear someone scream in an alleyway.

We rush and the alleyway goes deep into the central section of the city. We finally see some men holding a knife up to a girl's neck. She looks like our age and she was crying.

"Shut up!" The man holding the knife up to her neck said.

"Get the fuck away from us or she's dead." The guy beside him said.

It looks like they emptied her pockets because there is a lot of items on the ground. I see an MP3, an iPhone, a ballpen, some books, and a photo.

"No." Cody pulls out a handgun. "You should be the one to get the fuck away from us."

The men who look like 18-16 years old suddenly scramble and run away.

"Cowards." Tyler grins.

"Do you need help?" Kyle asks the girl.

The girl has light skin and she was wearing a jacket with the color magenta, her hair is also mostly color brown. She stares at Kyle for a while before snapping back to reality.

"No I don't need help. Thanks." She rushes to walk away.

"No it's fine, we want to help you." Javièr winks at Kyle, Kyle rolls his eyes.

"Are you sure?" She looks at Kyle.

"Yeah. Where do you live? We'll just help you go back to where you live."

"I live in an apartment near a complete death street." She says.

"Wait, do you live near a street that had been attacked earlier?" I ask her then she nods.

"It's fine we live near you anyways."

"Not live." Vanessa corrects Tyler. "Stay for a while."

"Really?" She blushes. "Well I guess it's fine if you could help me.

Kyle is the first one to get her stuff and she blushes even more.

"By the way what's your name?" Kyle asks her.

"Katherine Madeza. Call me Cathy."

"Well that's a nice name." Kyle says. She covers her face with her hair but I could still see a bit of blush.

We walk for a while now and Kyle is talking to Cathy for a while now. We finally reach the street and it was covered by police tape. There are news reporters and it's being inspected by police.

I don't know why they have to inspect if it's already right in front of them. They have the person who caused it and why do they still need to investigate?

"I live here." She points at an apartment and it looks like it's three floors high.

We go inside her room and it is very organized and clean. There were pictures of her with a different group of people at the photos.

"Who are these people?" Kyle asks her.

"Well they're my parents. They died when I was young. All I had was my aunt that took care of me always." Cathy gets a picture and looks at it.

"Somehow like Spiderman." Javièr says.

"Shut up!" Kyle moved the chair that Javièr was sitting and he fell down. "Now's not the time you bastard."

"Well thanks guys for helping me carry my stuff back to my room. You think we can talk sometime?" She hands Kyle a card with her number.

"Oh you mean talk with us or just Kyle?" Javièr says.

"Shut. Up." Kyle eyes Javièr seriously.

"Okay, okay." Javièr holds back his laugh.

I was looking at the pictures until I found something that my own eyes could not believe what it was seeing. I hold it and examine the picture again and again because I can't believe who is the person she is with this picture.

"Ray?" Vanessa goes close to me. "What's wrong?"

I look at the picture. You won't believe who this is.
