Chapter 30 - A Family Dynamic

The bus pulls up to a restaurant with a sign "Vlast' Burgers." It was a small roadside shop with a glass front. An empty parking lot minus The family Van Kurai and Kaneko barely fit in anymore. Russ stopping the bus as everyone looks in awe of the two story restaurant. Of which is a remodled townhouse.

"We're at your all's place, Kurai, Kaneko" Kaneko sits up.

"Okay!" He stands up being wary of hitting his head. Shaking Kurai.

"Hey, we're home" Kurai pushes Kaneko's hand away and standing up. Gritting his teeth when he hits his head on the ceiling.

"I know…" Kurai gets off the bus. Ducking under the door frame. Kaneko looking around and shrugging.

"That just happened" Kaneko get's off the bus and waving as Russ pulls away. Kurai opening the door as a bell rings. The small shop was a mess. Tables knocked over and the floor wet. Food and utensils were sprawled across the floor.

"Mom? Are you in here? You awake?" Kaneko looks around confused.

"What happened in here…?" Kurai looks around just as confused and agitated.

"I don't know but something tells me there was a struggle…" Kurai looks at the counter top. Looking at a red substance that's reminiscent to blood. Walking behind the counter and looking to his left. Their mom lays on the ground barely conscious. 

"MOM!" Kaneko looks over the counter.

"What the-" She slowly opens her eyes.

"Kurai…?" Kurai leans down beside her and checking for any injuries. 

"Why are you on the floor mom?..." blood squirts when he pushes on her leg. His eyes widen in fear. 

"Kaneko!" Kaneko jolts straight up. 

"Y-yeah?" Kurai glares at Kurai from behind the counter.

"I'm still angry with you, but now's not the time for that. Get the Medical kit and dial 911!" Kaneko gulps.

"R-right!" Kaneko rushes to find the medical kit. Kurai rushes to pull her pants leg up to see a bullet wound in her leg.

"What happened Mom!?" She lays on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"W-we were robbed…" Kurai's eyes widen as he slams his fist on the ground.

"Right after we opened too…" Kaneko running in.

"Kurai! I'm dialing them now!" Kaneko rushing to dial 911.

911 pull in with police and an ambulance. EMS rushing in.

"What's your name?" Kurai steps back to let them work.

"Я Юма Власть, двое мужчин ворвались и ограбили помещение пристрелив меня!" The EMS look at her confused. Kurai rubbing his neck.

"Her name is Yuma Vlast', My Mom says she was robbed and shot…" The EMS nod.

"Thank you sir! get the stretcher, Dan" Kurai watches as they wheel her out on a stretcher.

Kurai and Kaneko walk out of the shop as Police rush around. The EMS guy hanging out the back.

"Are you all coming or not?" Kaneko nods and steps forward.

"Yeah!" Kaneko stops and turns to Kurai.

"Come on Kurai, we have to go…" Kurai rubs his eyes trying not to cry.

"Y-Yeah…"

Russ looks out the front window of the bus and sighing as he thinks to himself. 'truly in someones weakest moments, is when they grow the most. I hope you're okay Kurai, Kaneko' Everyone in the bus watches as an ambulance speeds by.
