escape

3:30 Am

Cujo couldn't go to sleep, instead, he had his eyes closed and was viewing his memories, " hey Tony" Pete said while glancing at Cujo who he thought was asleep, " What is it, Pete?" Tony said annoyed.

"Will the boss take him? Pete said worried that the boss wouldn't, Tony looked at " Who knows he's got a fifty-fifty chance to die or live to join us"

Cujo who was awake at the moment was horrified at what they said, " what if he chooses the right side and lives but won't join us?" Ajax looked at him dumbfounded " You think a kid would want to join a criminal gang? anyway put on your jackets the boss is gonna be here in ten minutes"

𝒏𝒐 𝒏𝒐 𝒏𝒐, 𝒊 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒊 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆

Tony put on his jacket, the jackets had two separate colors, on one side it was black and it looked burnt while the other side was white " I hate these things" Tony said while Pete just looked at him " It wouldn't hurt to lose some weight" he said while putting on his jacket.

Cujo faked a yawn and woke up, everyone looking at him, " Hey you should go back to sleep-" Cujo interrupted, " I need to use the bathroom" Cujo said as he went towards it when he went inside he quickly closed the door quietly behind him and locked it

He looked in the mirror, he was breathing so fast and deeply he thought he was gonna hyperventilate, "Calm down" Cujo said to himself, he turned on the faucet and washed his face. He went outside and in the corner of his eye, he saw the exit door that Pete took.

"You should go back to sleep," ajax said in a serious tone, Cujo looked at him and said, " My back hurts a little, if you don't mind can I do some stretches first?"

"Sure," Tony said, Cujo did some squats then touched his toes, Cujo noticed he was extremely flexible, every stretch he did, he did it to get closer to the exit door luckily, nobody noticed. Cujo did lunges slowly and moved little by little toward the exit door.

𝒀𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 suddenly Cujo heard some faint noises of engines " He's here" ajax said smiling Tony and Pete ran towards the door and opened it a little to see who it was.

Cujo saw this as an opportunity, he quickly went towards the door and opened it, letting the fresh air inside.

*BANG* Cujo felt a sharp object scrape against his back, he ran out the door before another shot could be directed at him.

It was nighttime, the warehouse was by an abandoned dock, Cujo needed to run but where? The city was behind him, so was this two face and other criminals, Cujo heard the cars stop on the other side of the warehouse.

He needed to go now, in front of him was a lake or sea, With no choice, he ran towards it He heard the door opening and looked behind seeing Tony with a gun, he looked at him directly in his eyes, tony lowered his gun.

He took his chance and jumped in the water, it was cold, his back stiffened hurting the wound he sustained even more. He looked around and couldn't see anything.

He went back up and swam by the sides of the docks, after some time he found a place to get back up when he did the city was not far, half a kilometer away from where he was.

He could see the warehouse with people searching the water. he needed to get out of there, he tried to run as fast as he could towards the city, but running hurt the wound, even more, Cujo whimpered and clenched his teeth, for him, it was either life or death.

He was almost there, he crossed a few roads and went into the street, the buildings were tall and old, he kept on going trying to find find a clinic or a hospital. There was nobody on the roads, Cujo found that weird, he kept on walking until he saw a sign that said, Grant park

"Great" Cujo said out of frustration he found a nearby bench and sat down 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒊 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒕 he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Cujo awoke with the sun hitting his eyes, he looked around seeing people of all ages walking on the sidewalks and playing with their dogs.

Cujo touched his back It was moist, the bullet had grazed him but the wound wasn't severe, but it hurt Cujo like hell. Cujo got up, he looked around seeing an old man walking a dog.

"Sir" Cujo said walking towards him, the old man looked up at Cujo " Do you know where the nearest clinic or hospital is?" the old man looked at him and pointed at his right " go that way and take a right you should see one" the old man mumbled " thank you," Cujo said as he ran off.

He ran, and soon enough he found the hospital, Cujo knew they were gonna ask for his money, identity, and more.

Cujo stretched out and touched the wound in his back. 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 He grabbed a small crusty skin and yanked it off "AGHH" Cujo clenched his teeth a few tears coming out, But he had done what he needed to, his back was bleeding and that's what he wanted.

He slouched down and entered the hospital, "HELP" He yelled, he fell onto the floor and started screaming while holding his back " IT BURNS" The doctors rushed to him with wheeled stretchers " John pick him up, and lay him on his stomach" the other doctor picked him up and did just that.

Cujo pressed his face into the pillow hiding his grin, the doctors rushed him into the room and gave him a shot 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒕 after a few seconds Cujo felt sleepy and closed his eyes. after some time Cujo awoke but kept his eyes closed.

Something was touching him, caressing his chest then his abs 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌 Cujo peeked at who was doing, it was a young woman about the age of twenty short hair high cheekbones, and blue eyes.

𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉 Cujo was about to get up until he heard a knock, the woman yanked her hand behind her back and said "come in"

An old man came in and started talking to her, Cujo slowly opened his eyes gaining the attention of the doctors.

"What happened," Cujo said in fake pain, the doctor looked at the papers and said " It seems you were grazed by a sharp object, luckily you're injury wasn't too serious"

The old man told the woman something and she hurried outside " what is your name son" Cujo wasn't too surprised, he had thought of this the moment he got shot.

" Leonardo DiCaprio," Cujo said covering his face with his hands trying to hide his smile, the woman came in with prescription bottles,

"Well, Mr, DiCaprio, these are the medicine we have prescribed to you, it's antibiotics and pain killers. . ." the doctor went on talking, Cujo studied the room he was In and saw a window, he lifted the curtain 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒈𝒐𝒅 Cujo was on the first floor

"Umm what are you doing," the woman asked looking at him suspiciously, Cujo opened the window " Getting some fresh air," Cujo said while looking around " May I see those," he said pointing at the pills, the doctor nodded and handed him the bottles.

"BATMAN" Cujo yelled while pointing behind them, the doctors fell for it and looked, taking the opportunity Cujo ran and dived out the door, He ran nearly as hard as yesterday, he headed into some alleys and kept running until the hospital was out of range.

when he stopped Cujo leaned on a wall and Laughed, "Oh my God I can't believe that worked," Cujo put the bottles in his pockets and headed out into the streets.
