Shot

Diablo with few of his men escaped to their hideouts as they continued to fire back. "Why dont you come out Diablo, you disgusting piece of trash " I yelled at them.

"Fuergo! fuergo you think you're too smart don't you. Why dont you come out instead" he sarcastically yelled with humor evident in his tone.

With almost all his men down I couldn't help but smirk since I've now got him where I wanted.

Today will be the last time he'll ever see the sunrise and there's no backing out I promised myself.

Suddenly more vehicles came out nowhere and his men took cover as they helped him escape.

Seeing this I quickly adjusted my position to have a perfect shot at my target but his men got in my way every time.

Zee looked at me as he pointed to the hills and in one go we all run towards the safe rock as gunshots were fired towards us.

We only had a minute left for the helicopter to arrive and Diablo's men kept increasing every passing second.

I knew this will become a problem and if we're not positive I could loose my comrads.

" Fuck " I cursed as I leaned against the rock to calm my nerves but even the damned gunshots still being fired wouldn't grant me my wish.

We soon heard the helicopter approaching from a distance. We started firing back at them as we hurried to the hill.

Vee was still stucked since more gunshots were fired at his direction and we couldn't wait any longer.

" Zee cover me" I commanded as he nodded with slight fear in his eyes.

He shot at them as I rushed over to Vee signalling him to follow my lead.

We managed to block the gun shots and took cover to the helicopter.

Turning back I saw Diablo aim his gun towards Vee. Move Vee I yelled and in a flash I jumped over him as I felt a bullet hit my ribs.

I shot back as I saw him hit the ground groaning in pain.

I quickly made my way towards the helicopter and Zee pulled us in as we fled.

Trying to catch my breathe I leaned over a seat bringing my hand to my rib as I put pressure on the wound to help with the bleeding.

Everyone looked concerned as they saw my uniform stained with so much blood.

Zee cursed under his breathe reaching out to stop the bleeding.

" Fuergo is wounded, we need to get back to the medics ASAP" he yelled orders to the pillot.

"Copy" the pilot responded in return.

I had never been shot before ever since I became a soldier.

The pain was foreign to me as i gritted my teeth throughout the flight.

Arriving at the camp Zee supported me on his shoulders as we rushed to the clinic.

Nurses rushed towards us with a wheel chair to carry the wounded soldiers and as stubborn as I am refused to be carried.

Zee pleaded with his eyes but I preferred to walked to the medics myself and needed no ones help.

My ribs hurt when I stumbled clutching my ribs to stop the pain and bleeding.

"Hi Ren" I was greeted by Doctor Rodriguez with a smile on his face.

I was surprised to see him here today since he hardly came around unless it was urgent or concerned my mom and it annoyed at the same time frightened me seeing him.

"What are you doing here" I barked in angar" forgetting about my pain for a second.

"I came to check out some few things here and there so I decided to pay you a visit" he replied softly calming me down instantly.

He's been a very good doctor of my family for 20 years long and has been supportive of me under every cercumstances.

Even though I acted shitty towards him I appreciated everything he's ever done for my family.

" I kind of guessed you will be here today" he said as he looked over my wounds.

Lets get inside and get you checked shall we he said leading Zee and I to the nearest bed.

Zee helped me rest on the bed as he excused himself for the doctor to do his job.

The second he walked out I barked orders at the doctor.

"Just take the bullet out and give me some pain killers"

.

"We need to examine you first Ren" he tried pursuading as I saw a nurse appraoch with equipments and methylated spirit.

" Keep calm Ren my dear, I know you hate being in a hospital but first let me see how deep the bullet has gone" he spoke with his usual bright smile.

That smile was starting to irritate me to my bone so I did the first thing that came into mind.

I grabeed a pair of twizzer and cotton to wipe off the blood and poured a methylated spirit on the wound.

It burnt like hell as I gritted my teeth to stop the groans.

Just as I was about to take the bullet out the doctor held my hands with a shocked and concerned look on his face.

"Ren" he muttered undertone stopping me.

The nurse also had the same expression on her face and it didn't seem to make me change my mind.

"You've changed a lot my dear" he said with a sad smile.

"Let me help you" he offered as he took the twizzer from my hand and I willingly let it go.

Slowly he took out the bullet and stitched me up as I gritted my teeth in pain and looked away.

He cleaned me up and wrapped my ribs in a bandage.

"Youre lucky it didnt go deep like you'll have to undergo surgery" he said as he excused the nurse.

Sitting closer to me on the bed he took my hands in his.

"There's something important I need to inform you" he spoke and my heart accelerated in fear.
