A Sweet Chase (gxg)

Forty

Another shot was heard before Ryn stared as Therese stumble backward, it all happened so fast.

The front of her yellow t-shirt began to stain as it gradually absorbed the blood from her wound. She fell to the ground completely taken aback and Ryn spun around to find a swarm of officers making their way towards them.

"Put your weapon down!"

One of them yelled and she complied.
Very slowly she placed the gun on the ground before putting her hands up in the air, surrendering to the higher authorities.

She watched as they ran off to Therese as she hyperventilated, bleeding out on the floor, clutching her wounded torso with her eyes darting madly about.

"Jesus," Ryn mumbled under her breath.

She was then intercepted by a few officers whom she explained the situation too.
Apparently, they already knew who she was because Harper had told them everything how she'd gone after the she-devil.

She was allowed to leave and hesitantly she did. Ryn wanted to make sure that Therese was going to be okay but from the looks of it, she figured she wouldn't be.

The officers started bustling around to get the paramedics there and the rush of everything was too overwhelming for Ryn so she stumbled out of the alley.
She started speed walking away from the scene, pulling her phone out.

The call with Lincoln had been disconnected the moment the cops showed up, so she redialed his number.

"What happened, are you guys okay?"

"They shot her," Ryn whispered.

"Jesus, what the fuck. Is she okay?"

"I-I don't know."

"Fuck Ryn. Jesus! Harper's going to lose it."

"Right, yeah."

"She doesn't know yet, huh?"

"No, I'll call her next though."

"You should do that." He explained and Ryn nodded although she knew he couldn't see.
She quickly said her goodbyes to him and dialled the number Harper had called her on a few times.
It only took a few seconds for her tiny voice to appear on the other end and instantly Ryn froze.

Her body seemed to have completely shut down because she didn't know how to tell Harper what happened.
The girl had been stressing the entire time not to hurt her sister, yet the police were the ones to do it and without it being necessary.
They didn't shoot to at least slow her down, they did it to kill her.

"Ryn,"

She heard the voice say and she snapped out from her reverie.

"They shot her," The words seemed to slip out of her mouth with ease and before she could've even stopped herself.

"What?"

"Yeah. The cops, they shot Therese."

"Oh my god! Is she okay?"
Harper's voice was merely a whisper to Ryn and she knew the news caught her off as well.

"I don't know but she seemed hurt pretty badly."

"Fuck!"

"Where are you?" Ryn rushed out.

"I'm back at Mary's place with Waverly. The cops brought us here."

"Stay there, I'm coming."

Ryn hung up before Harper had a chance to say anything.
She ran off in the direction where she remembered she last parked her car.
It took her a few minutes walk to get it but when she found it she drove off to Mary's.
