Cool With A "K". PART 8 - CHAPTER 3

Mouse flew at the guy who was holding Leo and the guy dropped Leo on the ground. Mouse punched the guy in the face over and over and over. She screamed, "Leo! Get away! Fast!" The guy jabbed Mouse's pressure point and Mouse fell to the ground.
The purple-haired woman threw a punch at Chris and shockingly, he dodged it. Chris dodged a few more and the woman roundhouse kicked him in the stomach. He fell to the ground. He couldn't breath, he felt like someone had just crushed his lungs into the back of his ribcage, which she very well might have done. Chris tried to get to his feet, only to fall back down. 
Mouse lay on the ground, she opened her eyes slowly. The guy who she had attacked ran fast, chasing after Leo. Oh, no you don't! Mouse thought. She reached out and grabbed the guy's ankle and he said a lovely hello to the cement street.... with his face. Mouse got up and ran to Chris. She picked him up and put her arm around his waist. "Chris! Chris, say something please!"
"Uhhhg, damn it! That hurt...." Chris groaned, blood was pouring out of his mouth. Now, to help Angie. She was lying on the ground about 25 feet away, blood too pouring out of her mouth, she struggled to try to get up. She looked at Mouse. "Angie!" Mouse shouted. No! The guy who had hit her had a large sack. He picked Angie up and dropped her into it as if she were a rag doll. Chris gained consciousness and his eyes widened in horror as the team tossed his unconscious sister into the SUV and climbed in. "No!" he screamed, a gargling sound blending with his voice and he started coughing up blood. The SUV started to drive off. "Stay here!" Mouse instructed Chris. She started running as fast as she could after the SUV. Leo and Angela were both in that SUV and she would do whatever it took to get them back. She jumped onto the rear bumper of the car. Her boots instantly started slipping off of the slippery metal. She desperately tried to stay on. A hairy hand holding a pistol slithered out the window, aiming the gun right at Mouse's head. There was shouting and the gun shook and fired, just grazing Mouse's shoulder. She cried out. Mouse, you can't leave them.... But she had no choice. Mouse let go of the moving car and fell hard on the ground. She gasped and quickly sat up, watching the car drive away with her friend and her step brother. Mouse remembered Chris and ran back to where she had left him. He was lying on the ground, motionless. There was a pool of blood around his head. "Chris!" Mouse limped over to Chris and helped him sit up. She sat on the ground next to him. Chris stared of into where the SUV had driven off. "They took my sister...." he choked out, his voice sounded like he was trying to talk with water in his mouth. He started coughing again and Mouse put her hand on his back. "I know." She said, "I know they did...." Her eyes were hot with tears, stinging her face as the tears blended with the blood from her nose. Her leg and head hurt badly. "Come on, we need to get to somewhere safe." Mouse said, helping Chris stand. She herself was having trouble with this, so they hooked their arms around each other's waists and walked to the nearest hospital. Chris didn't even mention the thought of calling the hospital or 911, he had been in a ambulance one too many times and didn't want to go through it again, so they walked for two miles before Chris collapsed. "Oh Chris! No! No! No!" Mouse cried. Blood loss. She thought. She had to do something, fast! She took out her cell phone and dialed 911. After 20 minutes, an ambulance came and took them away. When they were all in the ambulance, Mouse thought. I'm lucky to be alive. Chris is here, dying, Angela and Leo- well, anything could happen, they could already be.... Mouse started crying.
"Don't worry, we are going to help your friend, he'll be alright." One of the doctors in the ambulance reassured her. Mouse nodded and didn't say anything for the whole ride.
