Chapter 53: I know I heard something that time

Pickle POV

Why did I take another shift I should be home or buried in some girl by now.

Like the one from earlier

That little kitten, yeah she was hot but there was just something about her.

She actually seen me when she looked at me, everybody else just uses me to get in the club but in her eyes I can see the hurt she hides but I can also see the strength.

I just felt like she could see me, see the real me and she would be the first.

She would be the type of girl I could fall for, but she has a man.

I'm not a dick, I don't go for woman who are taken, I don't need to.

I can have my pick most of the time

I just can't quit thinking about her

I really liked when she blushed

Usually when people laugh at my nickname it upsets me and people or things get punched but when I heard her little giggle I knew she didn't mean anything by it.

I swear I can hear a scream.

I know I heard something that time.

What the hell, where's it coming from?

It's hard to hear by the door with the music.

I wave over Jose "I thought I heard something in the alley I'm going to check it out, take over for a minute"

"Sure man" Jose says taking my place

There is something going on around the corner.

There I heard it again.

As I turn the corner I can see a man and a small woman

Fucking tweakers!

Their always over here turning tricks for dope

disgusting pieces of trash

"This isn't the place, move on" I yell

They don't even look over my way.

I'm getting pissed now.

"Yo mother fuckers are you deaf, get out of here!"

The man stumbles back

I can see the smaller person fall to the ground

What is this mother fucker doing?

"No stop!"

I heard that, clear as day.

Piece of shit, is he doing what I think he is?

Yep!!

I'm gonna kill someone

He's trying to rape someone in my alley on my fucking watch, I don't fucking think so!

"Hey you pervert get out of here!"

I can hear glass breaking

Your a dead man if you think you going to try and cut that girl in front of me or come at me with glass.

"I'll break you man" I yell louder this time.

"If you think your a big man bring it on" I yell louder this time

At that the girl turn towards me and and soon as I see her eyes I know who she is.

The fucker is dead where he stands

I'm running now. I hate running.

"Fucking cocksucker, I'll kill you" I shout at him

I come to a stop as I get closer, she's got her eyes pressed tightly closed and she's screaming.

She's also swinging a huge chunk of glass around.

Good girl! That's right, cut that pervert!

The man is trying to stumble back over to her

If he touchs her I'll rip his heart from his chest.

I quickly punch him in the nose as I reach them and he hits the ground hard.

Goodnight you little bitch

I'm trying to talk to her but it's like she can't hear me

Her eyes are shut tightly

She must be in shock

I can hear Flame over the walkie "Has anyone seen a short tiny girl long blonde hair?" She sounds panicky.

"Pickle, can you hear me?"

"Pickle, I need you. Where are you?"

"Flame I've got her out in the alley on the east side"

She's shaking so hard and she's swaying pretty bad, she must be pretty drunk

I need to get that glass from her before she hurts herself

"Your safe now Kitten, I've got you" I say as softly as I can

She opens her eyes and looks at me

She looks more then drunk, she looks drugged.

Her eyes are super glossy, she don't smell like alcohol.

Her head keeps falling forward and backward, like she can't control it

I look over at the guy on the ground you're lucky you're already down asshole

Just as I look back at her I see her eyes roll to the back of her head

She's going to pass out.

Fuck!

"Dont worry Kitten I've got you, your safe now" I say as I lift her up into my arms

I start heading back towards the club

I have her in my arms, safe now

She keeps coming in and out of consciousness

Her eyes are flutter around

She's beautiful

I see blood and snap out of it

Her hand is bleeding and she cut my arm at some point.

I'm bleeding all over the place but I'll live.

I can't see her hand clearly.

Her head wound looks superficial and should clean up nicely

I'm about half way back through the alley and I'll have doc meet us

Suddenly River's eyes shoot open

She's trying to focus on my face

She's definitely on something other then alcohol

Drugs aren't sold in the club.

Flame doesn't fuck around when It comes to shit like that.

She wanted somewhere safe for the younger kids to go, thats why she went with a 18 older club.

River's squirming and sounds like she's trying to say something.

"Please don't hurt me" she gasps out

I look down quickly

Wow, way to break my heart Kitten.

I need her to know she's safe with me

"Look at me Kitten, I could never hurt you"

She locks eyes with me, her breathing starts getting calmer then she touchs my cheek gently.

Her touch is everything all in one

Warm

Gentle

Calming

Exhilarating

Electric

Fiery

I could get lost in her touch

I shake my head back and forth

I need to focus and quit day dreaming.

She needs me now and I'll die before I let her down.

She blinks her eyes a few times

"Pickle" she says before she passes out again.

Flame comes bursting through the side door pulling me from my thoughts, she's with a guy really young looking barley 18 if I had to guess

They both look panicked

The young guy reaches out and rubs Flame's arm.

It's a good thing I know Flame or I would break his hand for touching my bestfriends girl.

I whistle.

Flame's head shoots around till they land on me.

They both come jogging towards me.

"She passed out, he needs a doctor I motion to the shit stain on the other end. Her hand is cut pretty bad, doc will need to stitch her up. Her head is fine just needs to be cleaned up"
