Max's Sacrifice

Robert’s POV

I was really out of my mind when Max came. I really don’t trust him now.

Anyways, I was still trying my best to make it look that I was enough to fight them, with my men of course, but I really wasn’t.

I heard Max shouting my name, but I thought he was distracting me. Or even if I didn’t think that, I didn’t have time to even look at him. Many guns were finding the right time to shoot me.

But then I heard a gunshot right behind me. The shot couldn’t be a miss, and the gun sound confirmed that it was not our men.

So, I turned around and found Max lying and that broke my heart.

Did he take the gunshot for me?

I was going berserk. I started firing way too fast and soon my men joined the fight. I was fast in taking down the enemies with the help of everyone.

After that, I bent down. Max’s eyes were open, but he didn’t seem to speak anything.

“Hold on, Max. The ambulance is coming” I said to him.

And he was smiling?
