Annie's POV

Sunday
June 7, 1981
3:13 a.m.

"Poor Tyrone."

I placed my hand on his cold hand. He bled out too much & slipped into a coma. The doctors don't know when he'll wake up. Luckily, the bullet didn't go into his lungs or heart. I've been here for seven hours. They couldn't get in touch with his parents so they called his brothers. I looked down at my dress. Dried-up blood soaked up my entire dress. There's some still on my hands. I don't know how to react in situations like this. Some people would cry & scream but me I was calm.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in!"

The door opened slowly.

"Annie?"

I stood up in shock "Mitch!"

I stood up in shock "Mitch!"

"Is he okay" He asked.

"He's in a coma. He bled out too much."

"Wow" He said wiping his mouth.

"The doctor doesn't know when he will wake up."

"Could be months or years" He said.

"But hopefully he'll wake up sooner."

He walked up to me "what happened?"

"We was walking down the sidewalk until this guy approach us. He kept asking Tyrone about some money. Then next thing I knew the man shot him."

"What's his name" He asked.

"David."

He sighed & shook his head "ridiculous."

"Do you wanna come to the cafeteria with me?"

"Yeah sure" He said.

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

"I couldn't help but noticed the suit. Are you a lawyer?"

"No, I'm a detective" He said taking a sip of his coffee.

"You work at downtown police department?"

"Yeah, been working there for five years" He said.

"You must be very good at your work."

"I'm okay but lately i've been rusty" He said.

"If you don't mind me asking, who's this David guy?"

"Tyrone's ex-best friend, they've been tight since elementary school. But three weeks ago, a incident happened that involves some money. Every since, David's been taunting Tyrone about it" He said.

"But did he have to shoot him?"

"David can be a little impulsive when it comes to money but I can guarantee you i'll solve this little issue" He said.

"I didn't know you & Tyrone was related."

"Yeah, I'm the oldest one" He said.

"There's another one?"

"Yeah, Anthony" He said.

"Anthony?"

"Yeah Anthony, have you met him" He asked.

"Yeah, I think so."

All three of them are brothers? No wonder their flirtatious ways are similar.

"You don't think David will come after me, would he?"

"Its possible but I suggest you to lay low for a while" He said.

"I plan too."

His phone started ringing "I have to go. I'll come back later."

"I'll stay here."

"No, you go home & get some sleep" He said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, you done enough" He said.

"Okay."

We stood up "i'll see you later annie."

"Bye Mitch."

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

The cold wind blowing in my face making me chilly. I hugged myself while walking down the sidewalk. I'm a little nervous about that David guy. What if he comes back to kill me? He doesn't know my name but he does know my face. This guy probably knows some special people to help find me. Maybe I should lay low for a while.
