“I’m a cop. Larry, I’m...So sorry. I’m a cop”
That’s all what seemed to go through his head, repeating over and over. He was a cop?....A cop. The fucking kid was the rat. Larry took a bullet for him Oh God he killed Joe for him. Joe was right. Joe was fucking right.
For a moment, All Larry could do was sit there and all but sob, his body shaking. That’s why he was so quick to want to go to the hospital. Fuck jail, man! He wouldn’t go to jail. He’d be clapped on the back, Probably get rewarded for what he did. No. No he wouldn’t, because Larry knew what he had to do. What he needed to do. And so, still stroking the kids face, still crying, he brought his gun up right at the corner of his mouth, right into his cheek.
Maybe it was the small whimpered ‘I’m sorry’, maybe it was the arms wrapping some around him, Maybe it was God himself telling him to. But with a shuddering breath, he moved the gun right under his jaw, pulling the hammer back.
“Don’t fuckin’ do it buddy! Drop your gun!”
The demands of the cops now in the warehouse spurred him on, his chest heaving some, hand still rubbing at the kids face, still comforting him even now. Glancing around at the dead bodies of Blonde, Nice guy, Joe...His gaze went back to the screaming cops. And then, he made his decision. He shot. And as soon as he did, he was down, bullets having hit his body...Lord knows how many times, making him jerk back, still slightly cradling Orange.
As he took his last rasping breaths, he heard what seemed like in the distance.
“Newandyke! Fuck! Get him! Fucking get him! Kid! You’re gonna be okay. Call the fucking ambulance NOW. Tell them to haul ass Officer down! WE HAVE AN OFFICER DOWN HURRY THE FUCK UP”
The fucked up part, was Before Larry’s word went dark, he found himself hoping the kid makes it though.
