8 Nap! (3)
…
A few moments after the loud sound, a bullet hits Icarus.
His shoulder along with his right arm is pulled off by the impact of the bullet.
Taking advantage of the impact he received with the shot Icarus finally managed to turn and look in the direction of the person responsible for his injury.
The well-dressed man from before, who now without his sunglasses reveals a look of hate as he looks at Icarus and says
"YOU SOND OF A BITCH! If it weren't for you, my plan would have been perfect!"
The man who used the guard's weapon that was placed on the counter by his partner, tries to shoot again
The man who used the guard's weapon that was placed on the counter by his partner, tries to shoot again
However, before he can, he realizes that even though he was hit, Icarus stil has his gun pointed in his direction
Seeing this, the man quickly tries to pull the trigger, but before he can, he is hit by Icarus
'DAMN IT!'
"DIE, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"
BANG!
Icarus' bullet hits the man directly, and a large hole is formed in the middle of the man's chest
While, watching life leave the man's eyes, Icarus thinks
'9.947...'
In the next instant, both the body of Icarus and that of the dead man, fall to the ground
Still lying on the floor, Icarus looks at the people around him and says
"Huehue... dodging bullets is harder than I expected! Maybe to do that you really need to be the Chosen One!"
Everyone in the bank is silent for a second, not knowing how to react
A man with a big backpack soon breaks that silence
This man steps forward, looks around and asks out loud
"Is anyone here a doctor? We need to treat his injuries!"
After hearing this question, everyone starts looking at each other to see if anyone manifests
However, after a few seconds no one says anything
Seeing this, the man clenches his teeth and screams angrily
"Damn it! Since no one, here is a doctor! Somebody please call a fucking ambulance!"
Hearing the man's screams, people finally wake up from their shocks and quickly call an ambulance
The man quickly runs over to Icarus to look at his injuries.
Once there, he takes off the backpack on his back and bends down to check Icarus's injuries.
The right part of Icarus's chest is completely torn and he is bleeding a lot
Seeing this scene, the man is desperate and makes an ugly face
That he quickly hides, with a forced smile
"Hang on, man, you'll be fine!"
However, contrary to what the man expected, Icarus does not show any kind of fear or regret
On the contrary, Icarus looks at the man and with a smile he says calmly
"Huehue... I wish that was true, man! No need to force a smile, I know that things are not very good for me! That shot besides destroying my chest and tearing my fucking arm off... it probably hit some of my organs!
That's why I'm bleeding like a leaky bucket! I'm even surprised that I'm not choking on my own blood! Anyway, seeing how much I am bleeding, I think the ambulance is unlikely to arrive in time to save me! So don't worry so much!"
Hearing this the man lowers his head and the bank is silent
At this moment, a children's voice full of dissatisfaction breaks the silence
"Hey Icarus! How long will I have to keep my eyes closed? My arms are starting to hurt!"
"Oops, I had forgotten about it! Hey, man! Can you lend me something to cover myself? I don't want the brat to see this, it can traumatize him!"
Icarus asks, to the man who is crouched beside him
"...Sure!"
The man responds sadly, as he sees the state of Icarus
He approaches his backpack, takes a large coat, and hands it to Icarus
"Thanks! Would you help me cover this?"
Icarus asks the man, who responds with his head down in a practically inaudible voice
"…Okay!"
The man covers Icarus' chest and leaves only his head showing.
Icarus struggles to checks his surroundings to see if there is no blood showing.
After making sure that, the coat is also covering all the blood
He looks and asks the boy's mother and asks
"Could you...?"
"Sigh! Okay!"
Respond to the woman sadly, while removing the hands that her son uses to cover his ear, and says
"You can open your eyes now, my love!"
"Oh, why did you take so long- Huh? Why are you lying on the floor Icarus?"
"Oh, that? You know, I had a very busy morning… so I decided to take a nap here on the floor!"
Icarus responds a little pale with the loss of blood while concentrating so as not to show pain in his voice.
"But you can get a cold if you sleep on the floor!"
"Oh don't worry! That man lent me this cool jacket to me! So I will not catch a cold!"
"Oh, I see!"
Icarus looks at the boy for the last time, and with a big smile he says
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a nap! Good night!"
After saying this, Icarus begins to slowly close his eyes
While looking at the big smile on Icarus's face, Pākiki says
"Good dreams Icarus!"
Respond cheerfully the little Gullbhar, while everyone else sighs with sadness
For Icarus's body is already completely lifeless
...
...
'Darkness!'
...
…
'My body feels strange!'
...
…
'Lightweight yet heavy… Hot, but cold!
Yeah! I'm fucking dying!'
...
'I think I'm not scared about it, because these sensations are similar to those I felt at that time!'
....
'On second thought, it is different from that time!
After all, this time it's for real!'
...
…
…
'They say that when you die or you are about to die you see your life go by the eyes!'
...
...
'BULLSHIT!'
...
'I only think about two things now… The first thing I'm thinking about is, I hope little Pākiki didn't notice!
The second thing is... IN THE END, I DIDN'T PAY THE BILL! YEAH! SUCK ON THAT, TORSTEN!
All your plans and threats were in vain!
Huehuehue!'
…
'Sigh! I think now is the end!'
...
...
...
'Isn't this taking a little too long?
I even feel like I can open my eyes again!'
⟨ So, just try to open them! ⟩
Says a voice with an amusing tone to Icarus
'Huh? Can I?'
Icarus thinks confused as he tries to open his eyes
Opening his eyes, Icarus realizes that he is in a white room.
This room is very big, in fact, he just assumes that this is a room after all, he can see only the floor, a floor all white; the ceiling and walls seem to be very far away and Icarus cannot estimate how far away they are.
"Hmphf! Have you finished looking around?"
The same voice that Icarus heard earlier, says with a tone of discontent
"This is the first time someone ignores me! I don't like the feeling!"
Icarus who was distracted looking at the room finally turns his attention to the direction of the voice.
Then he freezes when watching the owner of the voice
