Detective's Love Case

Chapter 27

Jaehwa's POV

As we entered the next room. Everything happened so fast. Kimora was standing in front of me, right when the sound of a gun went off. Next thing I know, she's laying half-dead in my arms. I didn't even feel the bullet cutting my skin, as it left hers.

"Kimora!"

I grabbed her tightly. The Assaulter walked up and held a gun to my head.

"At least you can die together."

I snapped. Grabbing the barrel of the gun, I quickly twisted his wrist, tossing the gun somewhere in space. Leaving the floor, I grabbed him by the collar. We fought with so much power, but it was all in vain. Because of the wound in my knee, I lost a lot of blood. I felt my energy drain faster than it was building. I was close to my end. He threw his fist at my face, I dodged, but it threw me off, sending me to the floor. By the time I looked back up, a gun was back in my face.

"Let's just finish this. You're almost dead. She's dead. Just die already."

"Hey!"

We both looked towards the direction of the sound, when...

Bang

The body of the Assaulter collapsed to the floor with a thud. A clear trail of blood flowed from between his eyes. I looked up to see Kimora holding the gun with her left arm out. She had crawled to a crate, where she rested her body upon.

"I told you...I'd... put a bullet there."

I suddenly had enough energy to ran over to her.

"Diamond."

"Hey"

Her voice was so weak. It was then I really had a look at her. Her beautiful clear skin was now covered in black and purple spots. Dried and fresh blood stained almost every inch of her body. As I held her, I could feel the shift of broken bones within her. I broke. I let the tears for the past couple of hours fall. She held a weak smile on her face, tears rolling down from her eyes.

"At least, I got to see you again."

"No, you're going to be okay. We'll get you help. Don't give up."

I stood up, her near-death body in my arms, and ran. I ran so hard that all the pain in my body disappeared. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew I couldn't stop. It seemed like time was against me, every second she had left, ticking away with every step. I found a door, kicking it open. Fresh morning air struck my face. Looking around, there was no one. I turned my head to the left to see the front entrance was only feet away from where I stood. I could see the ambulance and paramedics standing there, waiting. Glancing back at Kimora, her eyes shut, and her body began to grow cold. I pushed on.

"Over here!"

I ran

"Send help now!"

And ran

"Please save her..."
