l could hear thunder rumbling, l wonder how the rain could fall out of the blue. My eyes were blurry, my head aches. No one laid a hand on my head, my head works just fine. But why do l feel it not? "Mmmm....huh.." l groaned. "Oh! Rory sure did." l thought out loud.I remember now. The bar and the wines. Blood did flow out of me. "Shit!!" l cursed. "Of course he did, you can go ahead and shit yourself up. What the fuck! were you expecting from a Marine? You should thank the stars he didn't break your bones. You were ranting of how strong you were. Now━you have the opportunity to prove it, what did you do? You got your butt kicked!" His forehead furrowed with frustration about what happend. "What an embarrassment!" He yelled and lifted his chin. Sapphire tilted her head. And tried holding up but her head were too heavy for her body to carry, she was losing her vision. As she collapsed on the ground she saw someone next to the parking lot with a smug written all over his face. "Brook!" l called out, not letting my fading vision get the better of me but he was too far ahead of me, and the next thing l remember was going blank but not after inhaling the sweet smell of fast food, french fries coming from behind me. Such an embarrassment! Brook thought. She was ranting all over the place of how good she was, just a little fight her butt got kicked! It seems like I've been wasting my time. Yes! What else is there to prove l wasn't? I thought she's got the fire and the strength but l was wrong!Well, if I'd be honest here, she really did try . This wasn't one of the guys she usually train with, this is a well trained man and she did kick his butt a little as well. So l guess I'd give her one more shot. Just one more. Brook engaged with himself. Walking with a straight face.He definitely doesn't want Sapphire to think he was impressed. If he does show any sign of it, she will make him go deaf. After replying her she doesn't really think he'd come help her from the little beaten she just received. "Sapphire! That was nothing, that is just a little beaten Rory did give you━if we'd be true to ourselves compare to what you'd face when you go into the war front. So come on, hurry up! We do not have all day, you know...." Brook ordered. But no respond came, his hands tightened into fists.He vastly took a turn backwards towards Sapphire.His eyes met with her body lying unmoved on the ground.He threw his hands in the air━he wasn't expecting it.What the fuck is wrong with her. He dashed off to her collapsed body. He examined her to know how she's feeling. Good enough her body pressure was running Okay. Strangely her blood was flowing in a very high condition, that definitely isn't good. Especially when her body temperature was growing colder by the minute. He doesn't really understand what is going on. He was too concern on Sapphire that he didn't care over the picture been taken of him. He lifted her up from the ground and hurried towards his car. He gently laid her in the back seat. He rushed towards the driver seat and zoomed off━to general May. For this was very much beyond hospital, and he felt May will decisively know who to call. What if May doesn't have anyone to fix her? If she doesn't, then we can only hope on God. Brook replied his subconscious.His eyebrows rose as sweat beaded his forehead.
Sweat kept dancing down my face. What is wrong?
Who did this? I personally called Forester to set up the fight between Sapphire and Rory. He wouldn't bring up someone who would internationally kill a ninteen year old teen from Missouri. I really don't get it!
Brook rushed for his phone at the other end and picked it up.
As he try calling, he noticed blood.
"Oh shit!" He screamed.
"Am l hurt? But where and how?"
He stopped the car and rushed to the back seat.
He looked at Sapphire. He head was injured but not that severe and it has stopped, not completely but in a way which wouldn't or shouldn't be a problem. Moreover l when l carried her, l wasn't holding her head.
He looked over her hands, no sign that she was hurt around those areas of her body.
From her chest to her abdomen looks ok. He looked downward and found her bleeding severely on her right thigh.
"Oh no! She most have lost alot of blood." He uttered with great concern.
I need to know who those guys are personally.
I read Rorys files. He looks clean. So who did this?
Brook unlocked his phone and scroll down to the phone log.
Forester at the other end, was serving Rory some wine as they laugh out loud of all the incident that happened.
"Look at your face!! You look like shit Rory."
"Hey! Hey! I was doing my job man!! I did a little work on her thighs you know. Some design you can call it."
"Your kidding! Blood was gushing out. Her head was dripping, her face was crazy! You were damn scared."
"Jesus christ! Fore! That enough. Your just taunting me."
Forester roared with laughter. " You were really scared huh? I don't believe it." His jaw set .
Rory glared at Forester━his nose wrinkled, he stood up aggressively to leave. Just then Forester's phone rang. Rory froze and gently turn to Forester. "Fore, who is it? Am l getting my pay, yeah? You know l.need that money." Rory inquired.
"I thought you were leaving?" Forester teased.
"Do not involve my leaving with my money. I don't joke with it. So, am l getting my money?"
"Shuush!" Forester said and stretched his left hand towards his phone━as Rory observed him keenly.
He picked up the call, as Rory stood at attention to know what was going on.
"Hey man!" Forester said. As he answered the call.
"Do you know or your friends with Rory?" Brook asked at the other end of the call.
"We grew up together. I more than do know him. I am him. Did something happen?" Forester questioned.
"Sapphire is bleeding severely. I'm afraid she has been poisoned."
"Poisoned!!! But how can that be?" Forester asked confused.
"Rorys knife is clean. I can promise you that."
"How can you be sure? Look, things didn't go as pllanned. I will need that knife for observation."
"Should l bring it to you?"
"Oh no, do not worry. Just keep Rory with you I'd come get it myself. He shouldn't get the knife cleaned up. Alright
"Sure! Anything. But is she going to be alright?"
"I have no idea, but l hope she does."
"I'll pray for her."
"Are you kidding me Fore! You do not pray."
"Yes l do!"
"No you don't! You know why?"
"Why?"
"Because you do not know how to pray." Brook replied teasing Fore.
"Do not worry. I'd pray for you too."
"I'll see you later man. Your crazy. You praying? That's funny man!"
Brook said and ended the call.
He rushed Sapphire out of the car, and rushed towards the door to Mayd home. He rang the bell continuously without relenting.
"What is wrong with you! Do you want to spoil my....." She nibbled on her bottom lip when she saw who was at the door.
"What the fuck! Brook, what happened?" May asked as she sniffled.
"I have no idea general! It was just a harmless test and it resulted into this disaster. She's dying ma'am."
"Come on Brook, call me May. I've told you that before. We are friends stop being formal towards me."
"Sorry ma.... I mean May."
May bobbed her head. And gestured him to come in.
"She doesn't look like a hospital could do the trick here. Her breathing is breaking."
"I know, and that was why l brought her."
Rory at the other end had rushed out.
Sweat kept dancing down my face. What is wrong?

"Comeon Brook call me May. I've told you that before. We are friends stop being formal towards me."
"Sorry ma.... I mean May."
May bobbed her head. And gestured him to come in.
"She doesn't look like a hospital could do the trick here. Her breathing is breaking."
"I know, and that was why l brought her to you."
Rory at the other end had rushed out.
Rory at the other end had rushed out.
He dialled a number known to him, with his hands tightened into fists.
"Hey! What the fuck is on the knife?" He questioned angrily.
What the fuck! Where the hell did Rory go to? Fore suspiciously thought. He searched around and found Rory making phone call.
"Who the heck are you talking to? And what is on the knife, who sent you? Answer me!!" Fore demanded and then he thrust his fists in the air.
Rory carefully looked at his dear friend. He knew there's no need to hide this from him, he dare not.
He walked up to him and he stretched his hands towards Forester, and placed it on his shoulders.
"Calm down man. It nothing serious."
"It is serious!! Did you know she's dying as we speak?"
"Fine, but promise you won't tell on me?" Rory pleaded.
"You can bet on that. Now spill it."
"To be honest, l have no idea who the person was. Few days after you asked me to come fight with a teen for a pay. A call came in three days later, in a sunny day. After my morning workout. The offer was to just get my knife on her skin no matter what. I asked why? But he wouldn't say, since he never said l should kill her━l agreed to it for a huge sum of money, l couldn't resist. But something strange happened."
Rory said but suddenly stopped talking.
"Yes, continue. I need to know if l should save you ass here or not. So spill it out already. What happened?"
Rory knew Forester wouldn't stop until he get all the information from him.
He smiled━as he opened his mouth to speak an arrow was shot right into his neck.
Forester as smart as he was. Without delay, he lay on the ground. "Please tell me what happened. I won't let the one who did this go free." He suggested to his dying pal.
"My equipment were tempered with, when l came back from workout this morning before l came here. When..." Rory was choking out. But did all he could to tell his friend all he can.
"When l arrived here, l felt someone was following me, but l couldn't find anyone. I even searched around. That was why l was restless. Becarefu....ulll." Rory said as he gave up. His breath stopped was like Foresters breath stopping as well. With teary eyes, he escaped out of his bar. He just lost his friend who is like a brother.
