COP MARRIES MAFIA

CHAPTER 4: SHOT

Alice’s POV

“f**k Zero ! How the crap did you get shot ?”, Four shrieked as I rode off the jeep with one hand while I rested my shot arm on the gear stick.

“The f*****g helicopter sniper got blooming lucky”, I said through gritted teeth.

“I can’t believe it that our shooter got shot instead of that son of a b***h”, Four commented. “Give me the control now, hun. Don’t want you to exert pressure on your shoulder or worse, kill us in a car accident”, he chuckled.

“Chill man. I got this and in any case, I have borne worse injuries”, I rolled my eyes.

“Look here woman. I ain’t threatening ma life to a car accident. I always dreamt that I would be die in a war zone like a true soldier”, Four rambled.

“We are here sucker. Stop getting paranoid”, I chided him while I brought the jeep to a cool skidding halt in front of our headquarters.

“Jesus Christ ! Remind me to never give you the keys of my baby”, Four grumbled and snatched his keys from me.

“Such a p***y”, I name called after him. “It was just a drift”, I rolled my eyes only to get a fiery glare from my partner.

“Oh really ? And what about those f*****g sparks, Zero ? Are you trying to start a blooping bonfire in my car ?”, he fumed.

“Oh my gosh. How does Cade even put up with your PMSing and preggo ranting ?”, I giggled.

“Speaking of husbands, how are you going to explain that bloody wound to Nex ?”, Four asked as we entered the Chief’s room.

“I don’t know, Four. Every other time I was lucky that my husband was travelling or I was travelling. This is the first time that we both are at home and this f*****g stupid thing happened”, I cursed with passion.

“I always hate it when Dragon’s right hand man, the Snake manages to foil our plans”, Four hissed. “I swear if I get him then I am gonna tear apart his ass and then feed it to the dogs”, he gnashed his teeth.

“Cade will roast you alive for touching someone else’s ass, Jake”, I laughed.

“Yeah you are right. That man is too possessive about me for his own good”, Four grumbled. “The other day a waiter just sneaked a peek of ma juicy peach and ma man caught him doing that. I swear it took all in me to stop him from plunging the butter knife up the waiter’s butt tunnel”, he recounted the incident as we stood in the Chief’s office.

“That’s a very interesting story, Four but pray tell me why is Alice bleeding at two places and you are limping ?”, Officer Jenkins asked from behind. “Well ?”, he stressed and took his seat behind the enormous wooden desk.

Four and I stared at each other for some time in shock and then noticed each other’s injuries.

“I thought you said that just a bullet grazed your shoulder !”, Four exclaimed in shock.

“I thought so too”, I replied back and made a face when I felt my arm stiffen along with the same side’s shoulder. “f**k ! I got it bad. Didn’t I ?”, I asked and Four only nodded silently.

“Hello ? Officer Jenkins speaking. I want the paramedics to rush in my room right now. My agents need immediate medical attention”, the Chief curtly instructed and slammed down the receiver.

“So can any of you clowns explain the red paint and other ummm makeup you got on yourselves when I very clearly needed just the Dragon’s head”, Officer Jenkins slotted his fingers and rested his chin on them while expecting an explanation from us.

“The Snake’s men busted us before we could finish off the Dragon and although, we managed to blow up the port last night, we couldn’t get the Dragon or Snake’s faces on our cameras or better, bullets”, Four replied.

“I am getting light headed guys”, I murmured as I noticed that the bleeding was intensifying.

“We got you, Zero !”, the medical head gushed as his team entered the office. “Keep your eyes open, kid. You know the procedure”, he gently instructed without letting me go into a shock.

The trained medical personnel was quick to stop the blood loss and bandage the injured spots while I mentally cursed myself for my negligence and choice of bickering and bantering with Four when protocol necessitated that we go to the medical wing first at the earliest.

“What happened to your leg, Four ?”, the Chief asked.

“I am not sure, Sir. You were the first to notice actually”, Jake admitted.

“Your spouses will demand explanations for your ketchup pool and broken limbs, agents. What do you have in mind other than the explosion of cuss words that are ready to roll out of your tongues for the Dragon and the Snake ?”, Officer Jenkins asked in his no nonsense voice.

“I will just tell Nex that Jake was being a clutz and he ended up landing us into an accident”, I shrugged and immediately dodged a vase that came my way.

“Just wanted to make the story more believable”, Four growled.

“Cade is going to foot the bill for that antique piece, Four. Thank you so much”, the Chief nonchalantly stated and went outside to order a report for our newly failed mission.

Great !

Another feather to add on our cap of failures.

I f*****g hate you so much, Dragon !

Ughh.
