Chapter 338: I'm slowing you down!

Mumford POV

"Spencer just run, I'm slowing you down." I say my chest pounding hard as I try to suck in a breath. I hold the clotting pad and the torn shirt Spencer patched me up with but I'm still losing to much blood and he knows it.

He stops and looks at my stomach wound. They'll kill me the instantly if they see this and he knows it so when Burks and Lucky found the group we're with now and attacked Finn used it as a way to get us out. He told them we were going to circle around from behind.

"It's bad Finley." I say as I push away from him slightly.

"Go home Spencer!" I say loudly, I quickly look around pushing him away.

"Shut the fuck up Sheldon! We're almost there just a little further. We didn't go through all this bullshit to just give up now. If you died right now I'd still get you home." He touches my cheek with his wrist stump.

"Please..keep going brother, we're almost home. I'm not leaving if your not!" He says his voice doing that deep stubborn growl he does as he pushes our heads together.

I pull my head away and kiss his lips softly "Fucking Spencer always the optimist. Fine let's go before I bleed out!" He throws my arm back over his shoulder. If he had enough muscle strength left he would already have my ass thrown over his shoulder. There's not a lot of food in the unground bunkers they keep moving us to. We've both lost half our body mass at least. I can feel our ribs rubbing together as he holds me close to his side trying to support my body weight as we try to run.

We see another sign from Lucky's group we're close to the satellite phone they have stashed.

I drop as we reach a tiny old abandoned shack. Spencer pulls out his gun before he throws his pack at me.

"Get that last clotting pad, put it under the old one and put the old one on top. I'll look for the phone." He stops and kisses my head.

Our relationship took a dramatic twist about four months back, after being left in a cave alone for weeks starving and lonely. He's all I've had for so long, we've had sex together with women before but this was different for us both. It's more comfortable here because it's the norm but what happens when we get home? Is it just over then or does his heart beat faster for me like mine does for him? I'm dying and I don't want him to watch me die, at least he'll have Nate and Lucky to hold him till they get him back to River.

"Spencer." I say trying to tie the shirt around me. Our hands are cut on opposite sides so sometimes it's easier for us both to use our good hands to help each other then it is for us to struggle alone.

He drops to my side as he dials a number on the phone. He lays my head on his jacket as he double checks my wound. Finley takes my hand in his and kisses it. I move my wrist stump and touch his cheek wiping his tears as he talks to Lincoln.

"If they come in play dead!" He says in my ear as he crouches down and slowly goes over to the door to look out. He shakes his head.

I hear gunfire and yelling just as I black out.

Finn POV

I can see the fight but I'm too far to help and I'm not leaving Sheldon. I look back at him and he's too still. In a panic I quickly move my way back over to him. This is to open, maybe I should move us! I hold my breath and check his pulse.

I breathe out a relieved breath when I feel his pulse it's getting slower but it's still there. I kiss his head moving his sweat drenched hair from his face. We both have facial hair now, we try to cut it down a bit with what we have but I haven't even seen a razor in months. Our hair is about shoulder length now, I look back at him as he groans in pain coming to again.

"Shhhh Shell, their getting closer now. I'll kill who I can but I'm almost out." I flip my hair back as I lay on my stomach setting up my long range gun and scope.

I don't see Nate or Lucky but I think this one is Kenny.

"I think Kenny's here. You hear me.. your brother is here for you! Keep your eyes open for me!" I look back at him over my shoulder.

I see his honey colored eyes watching me.

"That's a good boy. Watch me. We're almost out of here." I say winking at him.

"Kenny's here?" He asks as blood runs out the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, I've got his six the best I can from here." I tell him.

"Shit! Wafa just seen me. He nodded though so he thinks I'm here to help them."

"Finn take care of Lucy and Kenny for me please." He groans as he tries to keep his head lifted up to see me.

"Sheldon we're so close don't you dare quit on me now hon." I say clenching my jaw.

He laughs.

"You only.. call me that... when your scared." He sits up some. I can hear him trying to pull him self to me. I grab his ankle wrapping my hand around it and pull him as slow as I can. He sits him self up against the crumbling wall.

"I want to see my brother." I grab my loose scope from my pack and hand it to him. "Three o'clock." I say letting him lean against my shoulder as he tries to move himself to see.

"Look at.. him go! Make.. sure he knows.. how proud I am of him."

A bullet ricochets outside just about where Sheldon's head is leaning inside.

"Move Mumford now, we have in coming!"

I hear what sounds like Italian from a man I have in my sights. I wait not giving away our location, I need to make sure that's what I heard, I won't risk Sheldon's life.

"Finn...I can.. hear Italian." Sheldon moans out softly as he touches my leg letting me know where he is.

"Stay close to me. We need to be sure." I say trying to steady my breathing. I can't miss if we're wrong, I can't waste my ammo.

"Spencer, Mumford I'm a friendly. Give me a sign it's you before I take my shot." A voice I don't know says in Italian.

"Don't shot, stay put. I have one coming up behind you." I say in Italian.

I get his head in my kill shot. It's Sabah, I wish I had time to make him suffer. I smile as he makes eye contact with me just as my bullet lands right between his eyes.
