Lethal Elite

[34]

"Oh there she is! I told you she would be alright."

"We thought you were dead for a second girl. Your heart stopped beating like 100 times"

I began opening my eyes to only see the sight of a bright light in my face.

"Where's .."

"Where's Pete?" I said as I snatched off the oxygen mask and began to get off the stretcher.

"Woah woah woah. I'm right here." Pete said while rushing over to me.

"You're okay?"

Pete then placed his hand on top of my head and brushed my hair back with his hand. "Yes I'm okay but you are the one that's okay that's all that matters."

I looked around and it looked like we were at a completely different place. The building was no longer a building , just piles of rubble. There was no more Fourth street police department and there was no more Keith , it was official.

I quickly looked at the infected scratch on my arm that didn't seem to be hurting anymore and it was gone.

"Woah" I whispered.

The medic then came over to me with a juice box and a cookie.

"You need to eat something sweet. Girl , your blood pressure was super low."

"When was the last time you ate ?" She asked.

"Um well..."

"Me and her were just on our way to get some food when I got a call and then all this happened" Pete said as he giggled awkwardly.

"Yes," I added.

The medic then looked at me and Pete as if she was on to us. "Uh huh..."

"What are you the boyfriend?"

"Yes" "no" Me and Pete said in unison. "It's"

"Complicated?" She asked us.

"Yes" we replied.

Our conversation then got filled with fast awkward silence.

"Maybe it wouldn't be complicated if you would have never lied to me and followed me around like a weirdo!" I shouted.

Pete then giggled and brushed my outburst off as if I was joking.

"Can we please just not talk about that right now." He whispered.

"And I didn't follow you so stop saying that."

The medic then filled out a slip of paper and handed it to Pete. "Okay well someone from the D.O.S would like to have a chat with you two along with your friends over there"

"I'm sorry the D.O.S?" Pete asked.

"Department of secret service." She explained.

"What friends?" I asked.

She then pointed across the way to Melanie and Briggs and Tim and Avery, who looked like they were giving the whole scoop to the news reporters on the corner.

Me and Pete walked over to approach them and we were attacked with warm welcomes from Tim and Avery.

Tim jumped on Pete and began yelling. "Man am I so glad to see you! You should have seen this thing."

Avery then picked me up and swung me around.

"Put me down, I don't know you" I said calmly.

"Oh yeah , sorry." Avery said awkwardly

"Yeah this thing was huge like a gigantic dog" Avery added.

"So I'm guessing you people are the people that I need to be speaking with?" A man with an all black suit said as he approached us.

When we turned around we could see the man was surrounded by a bunch of other men in black suits.

"Here's my card, I would love to have a chat" He said while handing a strange looking card to me.

"Thanks, I'll take that" Pete then snatched the card and began reading it.

"The department of secret services" He continued.

"Thanks we'll keep in touch."

The man then glanced at Pete in an intimidating way as he put his shades on and got in his suspicious car and drove away.

"I know that car" Pete whispered.

Avery then walked over to Pete and read the card in his hand "Who was that the head director of the men in black?" He said as he laughed and snorkeled.

"Hey boss!" Briggs yelled from in front of what used to be the fourth street building.

"You might want to come and take a look at this."

When we approached the rubble an officer picked up a wallet with blood on it and handed it to Pete.

"This is all we could find." Said the officer.

Pete opened the wallet to find Keith's I.D inside along with his badge.

"This is all?" Pete asked slowly.

The officer then put his hand on Pete's shoulder. "We've been going through these piles of rubble for hours now. There's so much of it we won't even be able to find a picture frame for weeks now let alone a body."

"If you have any questions you know where to find us." The officer said before walking away.

Melanie then approached me and Pete. "I'm gonna go home, make some phone calls and figure some things out and I'll meet you at your place in the morning?" Melanie asked awkwardly.

"Um no, Meet me at my brothers place." Pete responded.

Melanie then began walking away "Cool see you in the morning."

When I stared into Pete's eyes he looked broken, weak. He looked as if someone ripped his heart out of his chest and tried to put it back in, but they didn't put it in the right spot.

"Are you oka-"

"Come on" He interrupted.

"Let's go get you some food."
