Chapter 4: A Night to Remember

A/N: I've been planting red flags since the beginning of the story and I have a reason for that.

Firstly, it's a little wake-up call for the MC that even if you want to be left alone trouble has a way of finding you.

Secondly, I don't know how to end my chapters... hahaha.

Lastly, It's pretty funny from my perspective, just Imagine I keep planting red flags then nothing actually happened hahaha.

Third person POV

9:48 pm

In an open parking lot with nothing but cars are seen there is a family of three walking towards their car ready to go home after an exhausting and great day. Leading them ahead is a blonde-haired woman with golden eyes wearing a white sundress and black flat sandals with a handbag strapped around her shoulders. Following her is her husband a tall man with black hair and blue eyes wearing a white long-sleeved shirt rolled up to the elbows and jeans. Next to him is their son with black hair and golden eyes wearing a casual sweatshirt and pants.

Unbeknownst to them near their car is a person wearing a hoodie with a facemask on carrying a gun. When the blonde woman reached near him he pulled her and then said, "Get your hands up!"

Then proceeds to aim the gun at the boy and the man, and both of them froze.

The woman screamed because the person wearing the hoodie is holding her hair "AHhhh!" so she reached for the hand holding her hair but the person holding her smashed the gun on her head and screamed, "HOLD STILL, BITCH!"

The woman felt like her brain is shaking due to the blow and blood can be seen flowing down her face now stunned she can't do anything anymore.

The man saw what happened to her wife so he screamed, "ELISE!!" and then looked at her captor and angrily said, "What do you want!?"

The person said, " You out of the picture." and then he shot his gun.

*BAANGG!**BANGG!*

The sound echoed in the dead of night.

Then the boy got out of his stupor and shouted with tears in his eyes, "DAADD!" and then rushed to his side.

The woman hearing the gun shots and the boy's shout focused her dizzy eyes on the scene and sees her husband's white long-sleeved shirt turning red and falling to his knees.

She shouts "BYROONE!!" and tried to get away from her captor.

Her captor then smashed the gun to her head and so she falls to the ground unconscious. The boy now on his knees by the side of his fallen father heard the sound and looked. Seeing his mother's body on the ground with the person in the hoodie aiming the gun at her, the boy jumped and hugged his mother's fallen and bleeding body.

He was on his knees trying to shield her defenseless mother and looked up with red eyes and tears straining his cheeks.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIISS!!" he shouted full of anger and resentment toward the person who ruined an otherwise perfect day.

The shooter aims the gun at the boy's head but lowered it after, then ran away leaving the boy and his parents on the ground.

Will Allan Foundre POV

Shitshitshit why is this happening?!

Dad has been shot, mom is unconscious and the fucking bastard that did this just ran away!

I looked back again at dad hunched over on his knees with his head on the ground, his hands clutched at his torso, and saw that he is still breathing so I hurriedly flipped him over on his back and saw that he is unconscious, I then did the same to mom.

I don't know shit about first aid all I know is to check if they are breathing or conscious so I felt around dad's pocket and took his phone out then called 911.

"Hello, thi-"

"HELLO?! pleasesendanambulance!"

"Please sir, speak slowly and tell me what happened and your location."

I took a deep breath and exhaled, now is not the time to panic every second counts.

"My dad got shot, my mom is hit on the head, and they are both unconscious on the ground please send an ambulance!" After that, I told her our location.

"Help is on the way sir, please stay on the line"

"𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦... hurry!" I begged and feel my eyes watering again.

"What is the current status of the patients sir?"

"O-oh... RIGHT!" I said and shouted at myself to keep it together.

"I laid them both on their backs and still unconscious but breathing pleasehurryupmydadisloosingalotofblood!" I panicked at the end because dad is still bleeding a lot and I don't know what to do.

"Sir breath ...*inhale**exhale*... now can you repeat the last part?" I then mimicked her and try to calm myself down.

Ok ...*inhale**exhale*... "My dad is losing a lot of blood! Sh-should I press on it...?" I remember that in movies but wh-what if it bled faster? because I'm squeezing the blood out of him.

"Where is he shot, sir?"

"I-in the abs"

"Ok, listen to me carefully and exactly as I say."

I put the phone down and pressed the loudspeaker.

"Use a cloth or your shirt then fold it and press it directly against the wound using the palm of your hand and continue doing that until help arrives." I then did exactly as she said, I remove my sweatshirt and used it.

She then continued "Next the other patient, what is her condition now?"

I looked at mom on my side while doing my best to apply pressure on dad's wound.

"I think her bleeding stopped but she's still unconscious wh-what should I do?"

"That's good..." I hear her whisper to herself then addressed me again.

"Make sure that the bleeding really stopped and then make sure she's breathing properly" I followed her instruction again and double-checked then replied to her.

"It stopped bleeding now"

"Ok then continue doing that and make sure you apply a lot of pressure and monitor their breathing. While I ask you some questions. Where did you see the suspect go sir? Can you give me a description?"

FUCK... that bastard just ran away! What does he even want? I then tried to recall that bastard's face and all I can remember is he was wearing a black hoodie and black facemask. He is prepared I can't even recall the color of his hair but I think that he has black eyes and tanned skin, which is fucking common everywhere.

"Sir...?"

"He is wearing a black hoodie and black facemask... I think he has tanned skin and black eyes but I may be mistaken because of the dark." I tried to reply as calmly as possible to her.

"Noted. I already called the police to try and see if he's still in the area."

"Thank yo-" As I was about to thank her I heard the sound of the ambulance.

*Wee-woo**Wee-woo*

Finally...
