It was dark so they couldn't exactly see the persons face but he sure was pretty injured. He was still conscious which was a good sign and had clung tightly onto a piece of wood. Kelly and Amyra heaved him as he took deep breaths seemingly from the pain_the both of them were caught off guard by the disarming truth when light illuminated the mans face.
'Treu!'
'Treu?' they said simultaneously, the only difference was it was a shriek from Amyra and a question from Kelly.
'You know him?' Kelly was the first to recover from the shock. Amyra by now was cradling Treu's head with tears in her eyes.
'course, he's my brother'
'Treu! Treu! Treu! Can yo hear me?' Amyra was giving him small slaps on his cheeks to stop him from falling unconscious because he was slowly drifting away.
'A-myra!' Treu's chest was heaving and his breath shallow from the pain and energy he used to utter the simple syllables.
'Yes! I'm here. you'll be fine ill make sure of it.' Amyra intertwined their fingers giving him assurance.
'What happened to you? Did you get into a fight again? How many times have mom and I warned you to stay away from fights Treu?' Amyra was close to losing it.
'Amyra we need to do something, he has lost a lot of blood.' Kelly suggested seeming to be the only rational one around.
'Quick, lets take him to the hospital.' Amyra got her phone to dial but Treu snatched it away from her.
'No!' he heaved having difficulty in breathing.
'But you're injured,' Amyra insisted_what was wrong with him isn't he afraid of losing his life?
'Kelly's suspicions continued to grow; I mean why else would someone refuse to be taken to a hospital except when they were keeping something big; something they are willing to put their lives on the line for.
'Do it yourself.'Treu managed to say with the very last bit of energy he had.
'I don't know how....'
'Treu! Treu! TREU!' Amyra slapped him as his eyelids were closing desperately trying o stop them.
'I think I can help him, lets first find a place to go.' said Kelly.
'Lets go in my car.' Kelly and Amyra then supported Treu and led him to the rear of Amyra's car. People at the party gave them knowing looks thinking that they were in for a hanky panky but their glances faded quickly as that was an everyday thing at such parties.
'Kelly sat with Treu's head on her lap as Amyra sat behind the wheel, maneuvering the car skillfully through the traffic. they made a quick stop at a pharmacy where Kelly purchased everything she needed and then continued before parking along an empty street.
Treu had a bullet in his ribs and another in his left shoulder, his forehead was covered in beads of sweat and his jaw set_even when he was unconscious his guard was still up.
'Kelly what are you doing? Are you sure about it?' Amyra was worried, she really didn't think this is a good idea; for one thing Kelly was no where to the qualification of being a doctor.
'Trust me on this one.'Kelly reassured Amyra. funny how somethings are, back when she was younger, during her training she was taught a few survival tricks and among them was simple surgery; to be frank she wasn't really sure about anything at all first because she had never operated a human before and secondly she hadn't given a fuck to those lessons anyway. But come on she wasn't that dumb!
