Medic
As we flee the bank, I hear the sound of a gunshot behind me.
I’ve never been shot before but suddenly I’m experiencing a strange sensation and call out, “I think I’ve been shot.” Just my luck to take a bullet.
“I’ll get you tended to,” says Zac. I knew he would. Zac’s reliable like that.
Zac half carries me to our getaway car. I feel myself fading during the rough car ride. “Here we are,” says Zac.
“Tattoo parlour,” I moan in disbelief. “You’ve brought me to a tattoo artist?”
“He’s famous”, says Zac reassuringly, “For good body piercing.”
