"Cell-phone convo's"

ENJOY!

my first ever. .besides my Red Band Society one.... . .ONE-SHOT!

Pain. All Ben could feel was pain exploding in his lower abdomen and his thigh,

breathing deeply Ben looked down at himself from where he sat propped up

against the side of a abandoned building and saw blood coating his shirt and

jeans. ". . Shit. . ." His eyes flickered shut briefly before snapping back open,

"N-No! Gotta s-stay awake!" Wincing slightly in pain Ben hand groped around in

his jacket pocket before pulling out a sleek, black cell-phone.

Ben took a breath in, although it was unsteady, as he hit seed dial and waiting

listening to it ring. . . .

"Hello? Ben! Where are you?! your dad called us to his house saying you just up

and disappeared!"

Abigail.

"I-I left a note. . . " Ben gasped, frowning when he heard how raspy his voice

sounded.

"B-Ben? Ben what's wrong?"

"Hey you said you were at my dad's right? Put me on speaker." Ben waited as

Abigail was silent on the other end and he heard a bit of shuffling.

"You're on speaker phone now."

"Ben! Where are you?"

Riley.

"Son, What's going on? Abigail said you sounded funny."

Dad.

"H-Hey guy's. . . .I-I left a note on the fridge, I g-guess you missed it?" Ben

chuckled, panting.

"I didn't see any note...Ah! here it is..."

"Ben What's going on? the note says you are in...ITALY?!"

"Yeah, I...Came...To...Check...it...out..." Ben grinned slightly but stopped upon

remembering, he had yet to find any treasure.

"Ben...What's going on? why do you sound like you're having trouble

breathing?"

Damn...they're more observent then i remember...

"I...ah...g-got...shot..." Ben gasped out when the pain spiked slightly.

"WHAT?!"

"Oh my god, son are you near an hospital?"

"Where!"

"Y-yeah...I got...s-s-s-shot. T-there's...n-no...h-hospital...nearbye that I-I

know...of...in...the...'wer...abdo'en and meh 'high..." Ben answered, his

words slurring ever so slightly, he frowned hearing a curse on the other end of

the line but for some reason he couldn't make out who it was. He heard them

yelling...something over the phone but what they said was lost to him, his body

was shaking? Or was somebody shaking him?

Tired...hurts...

Ben allowed his eyes to flicker shut, welcoming the sweet darkness that

awaited him, ignoring the shadow that seemed to pass over him.
