A Case Best Left Untouched Part 5
Sero froze in his paw steps at the sound of the words, his eyes growing wide. Sora could feel the tension build as Sero's eyes filled with tears. He stepped in front of Sero and growled at the stranger standing before the pair. Sero was still in a state of shock his eye wide and body trembling.
"You know it was hard tracking you down my little wolf pup. Since the police interrupted our game the last time. I want us to play more but I'll have to be quick about it this time," he lifted off the hood to reveal Mello. A psychotic grin swept across his face.
"Back off!" growled Sora. "I won't let you lay a hand on him!" By now you could see the hatred in Sora's eyes.
Mello said disgusted, "why would you even want to protect that wretched creature? They all deserve to die and be PERMANENTLY erased." He started to advance toward the pair.
Sora pulled out his pistol from its holster and aimed it at Mello. "Don't come any closer!" He was fully focused on Mello and was ready to pull the trigger at any time.
Mello stopped and stared at his gun. He pointed it at Sora and they had a full paw stare off. Mello had a blank stare and Sora was holding his ground and his fur was standing on end. Sero was still in total shock and didn't know what to do.
The Deserted Flower was now closed and there were hardly any cars around. They were parked near a growth of trees so it was quite dark. The only thing providing light was the bright full moon. The sound of cars and trucks driving by helped to fill the silence. Each fur's breathing slowed as the tension between them intensified.
"You know you don't have to be doing this Mello. We can help you," said Sora lowering his pistol.
"Yeah right! That's what everyone said! Then...then they just threw me out like garbage!" Mello began to tremble and the gun shook.
Sora began to walk toward the trembling hyena. He put his gun away and walked slowly. Sero was watching the whole thing. Mello was having memory flash backs and was quick agitated. Sero could see that but Sora couldn't. He kept advancing to Mello.
"Sora, don't!" yelled Sero as he ran to Sora.
Sora turned to Sero but at the same time Mello pointed his gun looked insane. He pulled the trigger and the bullet was released. Sero pushed Sora out of the way but in the process was shot instead.
"Ah..." Sero looked down and the blood rushed out of his body staining the dark blue blazer Sora had given him. He fell to his knees and he could feel his mind going blank.
"Sero..." Sora looked at Sero his eye wide with shock and tears ran down his furry cheeks.
Mello let out the most sickening laugh and said with a smile, "Well looks like you have another case on your hands don't you!? Inspector Sora!" He was laughing as he held his head with gun still in his paw.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Sero opened fire on the laughing hyena. "YOU SICK BASTARD!!!!" When Sora ran out of rounds he quickly went to Sero and quickly pulled off his own shirt. He bunched it up and put it over the bullet wound. Applying pressure to stop the bleeding he called for back-up and an ambulance. Within a matter of minutes police cars pulled up and so did the ambulance.
"Sero! Sero! Don't you die on me! You hear me! Sero!" Sora was desperately calling out for Sero as they loaded him up into the ambulance.
Ceilia put a paw on Sora's shoulder, "Sir, we need to get you some medical attention too."
"What do you mean I wasn't..." Sora fell to the floor and placed a paw to his abdomen. It appeared that he had been shot. Due to blood loss Sora became unconscious.
"Sir?! Sir.." Ceilia's voice echoed in the distance until everything fell into darkness.
