Saving Silver Colt

(Chapter 7) Case: Silver's Disappearance

Previous Chapter

"I can hear you there! Why don't you just fucking kill me!?" Silver yells, his head hanging. His forehooves chained up to the wall. He's got multiple sunk in in spots in his coat. Aswell as a few discolorations. "I've got nothing left to live for." He whispers. My heart breaks all over again.

"No Silver!" I say, running over to him. His head shoots up to look around. His eyes wide, trying to see into the dark. I can see His horn sawn off at an angle.

"It's the drugs." He says to himself. I shake my head, not that he could see it.

"No, it's me, Andreah." I say, holding back tears.

"No. No. No no no no no. She's dead. She's dead. She's dead. It's these drugs. Your not real. Your not..... Your dead. Go. Leave." He says breaking down and hanging his head again. Tears streaming from his eyes.

"No Silver!" I say, walking right to him. I place my right hoof under his chin, pushing his head up so I could see him. "I'm right here!"

He shakes his head vigorously.

"Your dead! I saw it! I saw it. Leave! Fucking kill me! I can't......" More tears. I'm crying now.

"Let's get you down from here." I say, flapping my wings enough to hover above him. I release his hooves at the same time causing him to fall and hit the ground with a 'THUMP!' I touch the ground again and tuck away my wings.

"Just go." He says, unmoving on the ground. He fainted. Dammit.

"Andreah!!!! We have to go!! There's a lot of them!" A voice booms over my IEM. I bring a hoof up to the thing.

"Okay! I'm coming." I say, wiping my face of tears. Placing my head by his stomach and forcing him up. He lands on my back and I feel his ribs squish. Their broken. Damn.

"ANDREAH!!" The voice didn't come over my radio this time. It was down the hallway in front of me. Carefully holding Silver on my back, I run out of the cell and down the hallway. Meeting up with the magenta unicorn from earlier, she shouts a command towards the others, then looks at me.

"Get out of here! They're coming from that hallw-" THUNK! A bullet hits her neck, taring out her spine. She drops instantly.

Thinking of Silver's welfare more than mine, I bolt down the hallway towards the exit. I hear shouts and gun shots echo behind me. Bullets hit the walls around me. I can see the exit. Daylight bleeds through the exit. Or is it moonlight?

I hear the sound of flesh taring. Did it hit Silver? I fall.

Damn adrenaline, can't feel when I'm shot. Struggling to get up, one of the S.W.A.T. agents runs over and picks me up.

"Silver!!! Grab Silver!!!" I shout. I watch another S.W.A.T. grab him. "His ribs are broken!! careful!!"

We're hauled into the light and placed in the back of a wagon. The wagon pulls away.

I watch more and more S.W.A.T. agents get shot and killed.


Silver
Ah shit. My chest is even more sore than it's been for a month. And I'm laying down. On a bed. Am I dead? I mean, I did hear...... Her...

"Welcome back to civilization, Mr. Colt."

I jerk my eyes open and try to sit up. A new type of pain shooting through me.

"Now don't exert yourself. Your more broken then I've ever seen anypony ever."

I turn my head to look at the pony talking. It's a doctor. White lab coat, white hair coat, blue mane.

I try speaking but the only thing that managers to escape is a bunch of coughs.

"She's right, your quite stubborn. Get some sleep now. I'll check in on you tomorrow."


Andreah

"It's just a bullet wound! Didn't even hit anything vital!" I yell at the doctor wrapping my back left leg.

"Regardless, stay off of it! We don't need it re-opening because you decided to take a stroll!" I can tell he's annoyed. I shut up.


Holding my back leg on some stupid wheely thing, I open my apartment door. I owe still having my apartment to the chief. He kept up the payments.

Meow!

Oh Celestia! Ruby!

"Hello there! Been a while!' I say, watching her rub on my right forehoof.

I walk into my apartment and close the door, my leg Wheeling.

Ah! My spinny chair! Well, I do have a week till Silver's released from the hospital.


Silver, one week later
"C'mon doc. Do you have to gurney me ALL the way home?" I ask, laying on the gurney in the back of the medic wagon.

"Yes. You must stay in bed for at least another week. I've already got somepony from the hospital to take care of you."

I sigh.


I wave goodbye to the nurses and sigh. Another week....


Another week later

"Careful. Careful." The beautiful nurse says, helping me out of bed. My legs wobbling. I don't fall down.

"I did it." I sigh.

"You did it. Now that your mobile. I have to return to the hospital." She says, heading towards the door. Stopping just before exiting. "You know what's weird?"

"What?" I ask.

"Your the first good looking stallion to not hit on me." She says.

"Well, I gave up on relationships a long time ago." I say as she exits.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

Andreah
"Your the first good looking stallion to not hit on me." I hear the nurse say. I take a deep breath. I can do this. I can confront him.

"Well, I gave up on relationships a long time ago." I hear him say. The nurse walks out and whispers to me.

"Get 'em tiger."

I breath again. Then walk in.

"Well that's a shame. I'm looking for a stallion as handsome as you." I say. Smirking. He whips around and looks at me. He turns around again and goes back to folding his cloths. Or the same few over and over.

He's crying.

I refrain from saying anything. I just turn to walk out.

"Why?" Barely audible.

I turn back around to see him looking at me. Tears free flowing down his face.

"Two years." He slowly walks closer. "Two MOTHER FUCKING....... years..." He says, whispering years. He stomps a hoof, stopping walking towards me.

"I-i'm-"

"I'M SPEAKING!" He tells, efficiently shutting me up. "Two years!!! Not a call, not a letter. Not. A. FUCKING. thing."

"S-silver..."

"What!?"

"I-i couldn't. I wasn't allowed to."

"Heh." He scoffs, turning around.

My mind rushing through all the good memories we had. The laughs, the cases. I think of a picture frame, the glass cracked, separating Silver and I.

"Just go." He says. "I'll see you next Case the chief assigns to us."

I turn around and walk out. Now it's my turn to cry.
