She stood up, looking at him. She studied his face, but mostly his eyes. She could have been walking right into a trap for all she knew, but she would rather take this chance then wait for the bullet. "Thanks." She said quietly, "I.. um... I'm sorry I kicked you in the crotch." She then snuck out the door, glancing around, and trying to find a way out. She removed her shoes, holding them in her hand, and made her way quietly down the hallway.
Angelina was on the otherside of the apartment. She heard the door break down and walked over to a window where she began to push it open. It was heavy and the wood was stuck since it was painted over. She put down her shoes and pushed up with both of her hands. Slowly it came up, letting in a cold gush of air and making her shiver.
Angelina couldn't here Joshua's voice over the sound of the window squeaking. She sat on the window ledge and swung one of her legs out when suddenly one of Vito's goons grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back in. She screamed and hit the ground hard. She tasted the metalic taste of blood on her tongue.
She backed up from the man who was screamin in pain. Some of the blood had splattered onto her bare legs. She was still on the groun as she looked up at him. It took her a moment before she recognized he was there and everything was ok for the moment. She stood up and hugged him. "Joshua! Oh God, I was so afraid they killed you before they took me." She still hugged him tightly.
Joshua slowed down to peek around the corner "Alright, Good news, is that there's the door. The Bad news is that there's about 3 guys there." Joshua turned the corner, and shot the first 2 with ease, but then joshua and the other goon shot at the same time, Joshua was shot in the arm, while the goon was shot in the chest. "Ahh!." Joshua screamed and held his arm. He tried to ignore the pain, he turned around and motioned for Angelina to follow him out the door.
She nodded and hopped in the car. Once he was in the passanger seat she put the car in reverse and backed into the road, not even looking to see if a car was coming. As a result, she almost hit a car that was speeding by, but luckily barely missed it. She put the car in drive and sped away. "Are you alright?" She glanced over at him.
She began to really worry when he passed out. "Joshua? Joshua, wake up." He didn't respond. She pulled up to the hospital and they took him out of the car on a stretcher. She followed along side, still without any shoes on. "Is he going to be ok?" She asked one of the nurses as they wheeled him into the ER. The nurse stopped Angelina from going any further as the others took him into the ER. "You can't go any further miss."
"But.."
"You have to stay out here and fill out some papers and answer some questions."
"Questions?" Angelina asked nervously.
"Yes, like how did your boyfriend get shot?"
She thought for a moment as she glanced through the glass leading into the ER. "We were riding through a bad part of town, and there must have been a gang shooting. We heard a couple of bullets and suddenly there was blood all over. A stray must have hit him." She again glanced in the window to watch the doctors begin to operate. The nurse took her roughly by the arm and directed her to the main desk. She gathered some papers and handed them to her. "You'll have to fill these out." Then nurse told her. "Go have a seat in the waiting room."
"But..."
"A doctor will be with you in a little while."
Angelina reluctantly took the paper on the clipboard and walked into the waiting room. She put on her shoes and began to fill out the papers. She glanced up at the clock, by the time she finished it was forty five minutes later.
Angelina had to lie about a lot of the stuff.. she didn't even know his phone number. She filled in the blanks with her information, such as for the insurance. She took the papers back up the desk. A different nurse took them with a smile and she sat back down in the waiting area, still holding the pen she used to fill out the forms, and clicked it nervously.
