 Blood

Prompt: Sticky

WC: 300

Shelly entered the house through the open fron door and looked around. She spotted something on the floor in front of her. Blood! 

 

Shelly bent down and touched the spot of blood on the floor. It was sticky and not dry or wet. She followed the trail of drops to a door on the third floor landing. 

She didn't know what she would find there but she had to look. She opened the door and looked around. 

Next to the boarded up window, Bryce sat with a gun in his hand. He was unconscious and there was blood on his shoulder. 

Shelly closed the door and pulled out her phone. She called 911. 

"There's an officer down at 2364 Mulberry Street. He's unconscious and bleeding." She put the phone on speaker and sat it on the floor as she knelt down. "He's still breathing! Bryce, you idiot, why didn't you wait for backup?" 

Bryce stirred. "Shelly…. I thought….."

"I know but I'm still pissed at you for being stupid. Help will be here soon." 

"The shooter…. Across the hall…." Bryce handed her his gun. "Carefull."

"Got it. Be right back." Shelly stood up and went to the door. She took the safety off the gun and searched the rest of the house. 

She saw the ambulance drive up as she was checking the first floor. She put the safety back on and put the gun in her pocket. She went out to meet them.

"He's on the third floor, door on the left." She called out then she saw Jax. "Great! That's all I need."

She sighed. This was going to be tricky to explain without getting into details with Jax. She plastered a smile on her face and hoped for the best. It was all that she could do.
