Jen: I'll go with you, as long as Colby is okay.

Brennen: Also, Will didn't get around to calling the cops.

Ash: You asshole, he's everything I have!!!!

Brennen: Correction: He's everything you had.

Ash: You're lying.

Brennen: Am I?

Colby: Jen, don't go, I'll be fine.

Jen: We both know that's not true Cole.

Colby: Jennings please.

Jen: I'm sorry. I'm all he wants. After he gets me he'll stop terrorizing everyone else.

You walked over with Brennen. Ash already had his phone out and calling the police. You and Brennen walked out of sight into the forest. As soon as you're deep enough into the forest Brennen slammed you against a tree.

Brennen: WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE YOU BITCH!?!?

You were done with playing around with Brennen.

Jen: Is that the best you got? You can mess with me all you want but when you bring my friends into this, that's where it gets ugly.

Brennen: Oh please, would you quit acting like you're stronger than me, whore.

He punched you in the face, making your nose bleed. He punched you again, but harder, he busted your lip. He made another punch to your eye.

Brennen: We wouldn't want to reopen the old wounds, would we?

He said, running his fingers up your side. You closed your eyes, waiting for the pain again, but it never came. Instead, you felt something cold and wet hit your face. It was blood. You opened your eyes to reveal Brennen choking on his own blood with a wood arrow sticking out of his neck. Ash was perched high in a tree.

Jen: Great shot Ash!

Ash: Thanks, been waiting to make it for a while.

He jumped down from the tree he was climbing in. He landed on his arm.

Ash: Ow! Crap!

Jen: You good Ash?

Ash: Just a little banged up, but I'll be alright. The ambulance is here, we should go.

You and Ash walked back into civilization.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You seen an ambulance and EMTs swarming around everywhere. You seen Colby on a stretcher being rolled into an ambulance. You started crying, reality coming down on you. Colby could die any second, and if what Brennen said was true, Will's dead.

Ash: Hey, just because there are some injuries doesn't mean he's doomed.

Jen: But what if he is?

Ash: Then we'll move on, same with Will.

EMT: I'm Josh, are you two alright?

Ash: Define 'alright'.

Josh: It looks like you've been through the ringer.

He said, focusing his attention on you.

Jen: More emotionally than physically.

Josh: Really? Seems like you got thrown around pretty badly.

Jen: It's been worse.

Josh: How much worse?

Jen: Surgery for a brain bleed.

Josh: Wait, are you Alyssa Jennings?

You nodded your head, confirming his suspicions.

Josh: You're a medical miracle. My girlfriend was your nurse.

Jen: You know Nicole?

Josh: Most amazing two years of my life.

He said, holding up his left hand and gesturing to his ring finger where a wedding ring was.

Ash: Sorry to disrupt this amazing conversation but I don't think an arm is supposed to look like this.

He revealed a black and blue arm.

Josh: What happened to your arm?

Ash: I kinda jumped out of a 20 foot high tree.

Josh looked at Ash in astonishment.

Josh: It's a wonder you aren't dead.

Ash: Had a lot of practice.

Josh: It looks broken pretty badly.

Ash: No, it can't be broken.

Josh: I'm sorry, but it is. I assume you two are together.

He said, gesturing to the both of you.

Jen: No, my boyfriend is the one with the...

Josh: Gunshot?

You nodded your head.

EMTs: He's up!

Josh ran toward the ambulance to see what the problem was.

*Josh's POV*

I joined the crowd of everyone else to see what all the fuss was about. I got a good view and the gunshot victim was awake. John, the head EMT, was tending to him.

John: Do you know your name?

Colby: My name is Colby Brock. Where is Jennings?

John: Jennings?

Josh: Other victim.

John: Have you found her yet?

Josh: Yeah.

John: Well get her over here then!

I turned and got her.

*Jen's POV*

Josh: He's asking for you.

He's awake. He's gonna be okay. You told yourself.

Jen: Okay.

You walked over and seen Colby laying on a stretcher in the back of an ambulance.

Colby: Jennings.

You dashed to his side at the sound of his voice.

Colby: Did he hurt you Jennings?

Jen: Don't you worry about me right now Cole.

Colby: Did they catch him?

Jen: He's dead, it's over.

Colby let out a sigh of relief.

John: Let's get to the hospital!

Jen: C'mon Ash!

You motioned for him to join you and Colby. He ran over and jumped in the ambulance. Soon, the ambulance was on its way to the hospital.

Jen: Ash, did you tell them about Will?

Ash: Yeah, they sent people out. No word yet.

A pager went off in the front.

Person on Pager: 652 Gerard Way Avenue, one casualty, male, age 18 to 25, Death of gunshot.
