Chapter 65: Tobias

"What's happening? She's not moving. Do something!" I shouted at the paramedic who was checking Ellie's pulse. I was dying inside. This couldn't be happening. That piece of shit had hurt her. I wished I had pulled the trigger.

"She lost consciousness, Detective Stanley; we need to get her to the hospital as soon as we can. She may have internal bleeding and might need surgery," the paramedic was saying, but I wasn't listening anymore.

We were in the ambulance and we'd be at the hospital any moment. I dropped my head and started praying, knowing that God couldn't punish me like this for the second time.
