Seducing The Good Man

A Shooter

James POV

The following morning,I was having breakfast.I couldn't sleep at all last night.My heart was dry.I didn't know what I was doing or what I was feeling.

There was an indistinct sound coming from outside,it seemed like a siren of some sort.

With that, a lot of chaos and yelling followed.

What was happening? I thought to myself.

My door burst open as Sara entered, hurriedly.

"Mr.Redfield! Lock the door.Don't let anyone in! There's a shooter in the hospital!"

My blood ran cold in fear of my own life.There's shooter? I immediately locked the door.

"Where's Elena?" I questioned myself.

"Is she safe? Where is she?"

"Did the shooter get to her?"

"Is she in danger?"

All the negative questions rushed through my mind.

My charts were on the table beside me.I opened it and to my luck,I found Elena's number in one of the papers.

I immediately grabbed my phone and dialed the number.

"Pick up,please,pick up!"

The phone rang but she hung up.

I rang it again but she hung up once again.

Maybe in a crucial situation,she thought it was no one important since he hadn't my number.

I rang again.

"Who is this?" She said.She was running out of breath.In fact,her voice even sounded different.

"Elena, it's me.It's James." I whispered.

"James? How... where are you? Are you safe?" She asked.I thought she would be angry but she was rather concerned for me.It was beautiful.

"Elena..." I was out of words.

"Damn it,James.Speak to me, where are you? Are you somewhere safe? There is not one but three shooters in the building! I need you somewhere safe." She said as she breathed heavily through the phone.

"I am in my cabin.Where are you?" I asked.

"I am coming.Wait for me!" She said.Before I could even say anything,she hung up.

Indeed within a while she burst into my room.She was in a messed up state.It scared me how much she cared.

"James, you are fine,right?" She asked as he touched my neck with her hands.She didn't even take a second to catch her breath as she started to run again with my hand in hers.We took the elevator to the top floor and then to the roof.

"James,look." She pointed at the chopper.I could see Bradley and Maximilian in the chopper.

"Go.Fly somewhere safe with them." She leaned down as she rested her hands on her knees to breathe.

"I am not leaving you." I held her up.

"James,I have to go down there.There are people who needs saving." She grabbed my hand as we were standing in front of the chopper.

"I am not leaving without you!" I said.

"Man,just get in or we are leaving!" Maxi said.

"Are you crazy? Are you going to let her die?" I angrily said to Maxi.

"James, don't be like this.This is an order.I am telling you to go." Elena said to me as she cupped my face.

"I will be safe.Now go!" She pushed me inside the chopper.Without a second glance,she ran off the roof and down the stairs.

"Why aren't you stopping her?" I asked.

"We tried.She won't come!" Bradley said.

As I heard the chopper wings started to rotate,my blood ran cold as the soul left my body.

-

Elena ran down the stairs as tears streamed down her eyes.

"James was safe and that's all that mattered to me.I had no family to mourn for me if I died but there are people in the crossfire of those shooters who needed to go back home to their family." Elena thought to herself.

The whole hospital was a chaos.She immediately ran to the third floor.There was a shooter holding hostages.

People were crying.To the corner of the hall,there were some injured people.

Her heart cried for help.She wanted to help them but couldn't.

She silently grabbed her phone and called 911.

"9-1-1, what's your emergency?" A woman spoke from the other side.

"Mercy Hospital." She whispered.

"We have received a lot of calls from there.We have sent a SWAT team,they have cornered the building." She said.

"They have hostages." Elena whispered.

"Copy that.Are you safe?" She asked.

"I am."

"Good,good.Wait there.The police will reach you any minute."

She could hear the sirens.

"Damn it.The police are here!" She heard the man say.The man grabbed his radio and said,"I've got hostages.If anyone enters everyone here dies."

Upon hearing that,Elena was about to rush into the room full of hostages but a pair of hands grabbed her and pushed her to the ground.

He immediately covered her mouth as she was about to scream.

"James,why are you here? Why haven't you left with them?" She asked as she shook his head by her hands.

"Elena,I can't leave you." James whispered.

"You are crazy,you know that right?" Elena asked as tears streamed down her face.

"Don't go.They are going to kill you." He whispered as he embraced her tightly.They both were hiding behind the counter.They were quite a bit distanced away from the shooter.

"Those people needs saving." Elena whispered.

"Police is here." James said.

"James,the police will not do anything! They will be late.If he hears that the police breached in the first and second floor,he will kill the hostages." Elena whispered.

"Elena,you don't have to do anything." He said.

"There are three children in there! Two pregnant women, a man with paralysis and an old man! Look right James.There are three people drowned in their own blood!" She said.She tried to stand up again but James grabbed her tightly and pinned her down to the floor.

"What about me? I am a patient with the 'worst case of frozen shoulder' as you say." He said.

"James,what is wrong with you? Didn't I leave you in the chopper?" She asked.

"Yes,you did." He replied.

"Then why are you here?" She asked.

"I don't know.When the chopper was taking off,I jumped and came to find you." He said.

"Stay here, James." She said.

"Elena,I am not letting you go!" He said.

"You have to let me go.I don't have a family.It doesn't matter if anything happens to me but those people have somewhere to return." Elena said.

"What about me? What will happen to me if something happens to you? Who will treat me?" James's eyes filled with tears.

"I am not your doctor." Elena narrowed her eyes.

"You left me." He said.

"You love your wife.Now let me go." Elena said boldly.Remembering their arguement made aggression rise inside her.

"I am not letting you die." He said.

"James, don't do this." She said.

"I am sorry,Elena.I've asked for you so many times but you never met me.You left me in hell.I couldn't sleep without you.I couldn't...process at all.I told you things I can never take back.I've hurt you more than I can repair but I want you to know that I was hurt by your absence.I don't know what you did but I am addicted to you.I am intoxicated by you.You are not my second option.You are above everyone and everything.When it comes to you,there is no competition.You own such a place in my heart.I want you in my arms.I want you for myself.You are not the only one feeling it.I am too.So don't go." He whispered.

"James...'' She whispered and kissed his lips like it was the last time.

"I made a promise.I save lives." She whispered.When she caught him off guard,she got off the floor and ran to the room.

"Elena!" James screamed his lungs out.

"Take me,let them go!" Elena raised her hands in front of the shooter.

"What makes you think that I will let anyone go?" The man asked.

"Because you don't know who I am." Elena kicked the gun of his hands and punched him to the ground.

"Leave ,leave!" She yelled to the people.

The man grabbed her and punched her even harder.

"Elena!" James yelled as he ran to her.

"James!Go!" She cried.

James kicked the man as he fell.They both grabbed the chance to run.Before he could get up,all the people escaped that floor.

Until a woman cried out.

"Where is my baby?!" She cried.

As Elena and James both looked behind,a child was on the floor crying.The man was reaching for his gun.

"I am going." James said.

"James,no!" Elena yelled.Without listening to her,he ran to the child.

When Elena saw the man was aiming his gun at James.

"James!" She ran as she fell to the ground with him.He had the child and Elena protected him like a human shield.

As they heard the gunshots,two bullets pierced through Elena's back as she groaned in pain.

"Baby." James whispered as Elena fell on his chest.

"Wake up! Wake up!" He shook her.

He looked at the stairs as a bunch of swat police ran inside and captured the man.

"Elena,wake up,baby,wake up." He cried as he held her tightly in his chest.

The woman ran and took her child.

"Go somewhere safe!" James said to the woman.She nodded and ran away.

A police came and helped them up.He refused to let her go out of his arms.Despite him having a frozen shoulder, he forgot about it completely.

As he fell down the ground in tears.

"Are you alright?" A police asked.

"Yes.Yes.Is there an ambulance? She needs a doctor or an ambulance." He wiped his eyes and looked at himself drenched in Elena's blood.

"We still couldn't capture the third shooter.Five more shooters entered the building.We can't get anyone inside yet!"

James broke down in tears again.What if they can't capture everyone on time? What if something happens to her? He couldn't think straight.He was shaking in fear.

"Can you name the person who got shot?" The police asked.

"Dr.Elena Alvarez." James replied.

"Doctor? Does she work here?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Who is she to you? How are you related?" He asked.

"She is my doctor." He replied.

"Come! Let's go somewhere safe and find some gauge or band aids to stop her bleeding!"
