Don started to panic. If they catch them now, who knows what will happen to them. They might get killed on spot or be inprisoned for years. Why he saved this creature, he should go home with Kay and Alex. This is too much for him, he is a medic not some kind of hero.
-"Be quiet and help me stand up."
Don looked at creature, it was so damn calm. How? If he is worried about his future, the creature should be in ever worse mental state but Don did what creature asked. Luckily cops stopped just near the corner. They litteraly could hear them breathing. One of the police officers then said "I bet it is just some drug addict hidding behind this corner, wanna bet George?"
Hell no, they will find them for sure now.
-"I place my bet on a cat, you are getting old Theo and you started to see things that aren't here my friend."
-"Fuck you George! I am not old!"
Officer named Theo approached behind the corner and when he pointed his flashlight he froze, his face turned green and started producing some weird noises. He was a man in later fifities, probably few months till retirement.
The other one ran to him and when he saw the creature he wasn't that scared, at least he wasn't showing it. He reached for his gun. The creature raised his left, unharmed, hand with the palm facing officers. It happened in a flash. They Both clutched their chest with painfull look on their faces. They acted like they have an heart attacks. Don couldn't move at first, what the hell is going on, he isn't even touching them and they were dying in front of his eyes. Picture of the dead old man in cointeiner from the last night flashed in his mind.
-"No!! Stop, now!"
He jumped and pushed the creature against the wall but when he looked at the officers it was over, they were laying dead on the floor. He quickly ran to check their heart beat but there was none. He tried to resuscitate the closer one to him.
-"I think I know what are you trying to do. It's pointless, they are dead for good." Creature said that like he was talking about yesterday's weather.
-"You said we are the monsters, but look what have you done so coldhearted."
-"They were endangered us, if I have to choose between me and anyone or anything, sorry but I won't think twice."
-"How? How have you done that?"
-"That's long story and for maybe other occasion, I will just say that's what I was talking about when I said our soldiers are weapons."
-"I have to go, I recommend you to leave now because I will call ambulance. Those guys didn't deserve this and because I am responsible for their deaths, the least I can do is not let some criminals to release their anger on their bodies."
-"Sure, I am already absent for too long. Until next time human. I still owe you and I won't forget what you have done for me."
-"Yeah, whatever."
Don ran from that alley and after he got at the safe distance he reached for his phone and dialed 911. After first ring he hanged up. Shit. He can't call them from his private number. He looked around in search for a payphone, thanks God, he spotted one across the street. He walked fast past the park and dialed 911 again. He even changed his voice a little bit.
-"Hello, I want to report some fighting at the park. I think they are armed. Please hurry, there is police vehicle here and I think officers might be in danger."
He just hanged up before he even heard the voice from the other side. He didn't have his shirt or any tissue. He tore his pocket and wiped the receiver so police can't find any fingerprints. Then he ran in the direction of the apartment.
When he entered his apartment, Kay was nervously sitting on sofa, TV was on but she didn't seem to be watching it.
-"Hey you are here finally. I was just thinking of going out looking for you. What happened to your shirt, and pants, oh my good you were attacked, are you hurt?!"
-"Hey Kay.. Yeah thanks, listen I am okay and I will take hotel room, you and Alex rest here as much as you want." Don took a shirt that was still laying thrown on sofa, the same one he rolled when he thought he will get some sleep last night.
-"No, no way, if we bother you, we will be the ones that leave."
-"Kay, no. Alex need rest, don't wake him up."
-"Nevermind, he will get his rest somewhere else then, you won't leave your house because of us."
-"Yes I will, I will be back tomorrow."
Before Kay could say anything Don was already on the other side of the door, running again downstairs. He knew they won't leave the apartment because she don't have anyone to leave the key at this hour. When he was sure she won't come after him, he sat down and leaned against the first tree he saw. He started to cry. Three dead persons because of him this night. He is a medic? He is a killer, not a man. He should have saved that old man from those guys and if he only wasn't helped that creature. Those officers would find him half dead and he wouldn't be able to kill them. It was all his fault. He should surrender and pay for his crimes. His sick mother would be so proud what her son done. Nothing. He done nothing. He is nothing. He was so occupied with thoughts that he didn't hear a person that sat next to him. It was Kaylee, she found him. Crap.
-"I won't ask anything, I just want you to know that you are not alone."
After that she leaned her head on his shoulder and hugged him with one arm. Her hair smelled so nice, it reminded him on spring. That was roses, yeah, definitely. He calmed down a little bit.
-"Please, come home, if you want we will go, but you have to come home. You need rest too."
Don just looked at her, she was so soothing. He just stood up and start walking towards apartment. Whole walk passed in silence, noone said anything. When they came in apartment she just said that she will sleep in bedroom, next to little Alex and wished him a good night. When Don stayed alone he went to take a shower. It wasn't even half relaxing like Kaylee's voice, but it could do. When he layed, the sofa seemed like softest bed. He layed there with hope he could get some sleep but he knew this and many other nights he won't get any of it. Those pictures of dead man in container and two dead officers are indelibly.
