- Don't you die on me! - Tyler said aloud while walking back into the pub with Lil in his arms.

27 minutes ealier.

- She dead?
- Faint pulse. She passed out. - Tyler replied to Zach as he looked at Miles. - Miles, I don't think we can take care of this, she's bleeding too much. We have to take her to the hospital.
- We can't. How are we gonna explain her being shot twice, how are we gonna explain her man's clothes? How is herself gonna do that? They'll trace everything back to us if they find out about her, we're only gonna save her now to get her killed later, it's no use! - Miles said.
- Then what do we do? - Zach asked.

Miles looked at him.

- I'm gonna take one of the cars and the money and go to the hospital, I'm gonna bribe a doctor and take him back to the pub. I'd have one of you go but I'm the only one who's not soaked in blood. Can you two drive to the pub and wait for me there?
- Of course. Let's go, Zach.

Tyler got into the car Lil was, and also half the booze, and started driving back to the pub.

So did Zach with the other car.

Miles got into the third car and took the turn to the hospital.

Now

- We're here! - Miles yelled when he walked back into the pub.
- Hurry, she's not breathing! - Zach yelled back.

Miles felt a horrible sensation take over his body.

Tyler was trying to make Lil start breathing again. The doctor took over.

Tell Alex I died as a hero.

They all were on their tiptoes, watching the doctor try to bring Lil back.
Each one of them blaming themselves for not realizing that man on the floor was still alive.

Lil started breathing again.
She was as white as a sheet.

- I'm gonna need some help. - The doctor told them.
- As long as you don't ask questions. - Miles said.

------------------------------------------------------

The band came back two days later.
Up until that point, Miles had refused to pick up the telephone at the pub every time it rang.

The boys arrived ready for some pretty bad news.

Alex stepped in first.

- It's clear. - He told the other boys and they all got in as well.

It was the middle of the night.

Miles was sitting on the floor, his back resting against the wall.
Asleep.
He was drooling a bit.

- What the fuck? - Alex whispered to himself.

He kicked Miles awake.

- THE HELL!? - Miles yelled, getting up in a split second. He saw Alex and his heart stopped racing that much. - Holy fuck! Thank God, it's just you guys.
- The fuck you're not picking up the phone for? - Alex spoke just a tone lower than shouting.

They heard a door slam shut and be locked.

All the boys reached for their guns.

- Hey! Hey, it's ok. - Miles tried to calm them down.
- Who else is here? - Nick asked.
- Is this another one of your shenanigans? - Alex asked, annoyed, taking a step towards the direction of the sound.

Miles stepped in to block him.

- IT'S OK! It's just... it's just the nurse.
- Nurse?
- Yes. - Miles took a deep breath. - And you better calm down and try to lower your voices if you don't want to wake her up. - He pointed at Alex at the same time he walked over to the door and knocked three times. - It's ok, Ms. Lars, we're not in danger.
