Bang!
Bang!
As the gunshot sounds roared into the air, Jungkook felt a weight fall behind him. He turned around and his face was frozen in total terror as soon as he saw what it was.
"Torin!" Snake shouted as he hurried towards Torin who had selflessly used his own body as a shield to block the bullets fired at Jungkook by Mr. Big.
"What the hell did you do, dumbass?!" Jungkook murmured erratically as he held Torin in his arms and checked on the wound on the side of the stomach where Torin was hit.
Torin laughed and murmured in between his breaths, "Playing hero, what else...? I'm such a great friend, right...? Nah, it's just a scratch, not even close to any internal organs... I'm sure of it. So, don't worry."
Torin had noticed that Mr. Big had pointed his gun at Jungkook when Jungkook was still busy fighting Draco. As he was just a few feet away from Jungkook, he quickly ran towards him to shield him without a second thought.
He smiled at Jungkook and was still trying to crack a joke, "Do you think I'll be a smiling ghost in this ship, Bro?" Blood had started to drain from his face as he was starting to get paler and paler because of the bleeding. And it was getting harder for him to talk.
"Stop talking nonsense and press on that damn wound harder!" Jungkook instructed Torin as he shot him a disapproving look. Torin quickly followed and pressed harder on his wound. Then Jungkook looked at Snake. "Go first! Get Torin out of here! He needs immediate medical care!" Jungkook commanded.
Snake quickly followed. "Contact! Snake to Base! Snake to Base! We've got a man down. We are heading to the south deck on the Ghost Ship! I repeat, we've got a man down. Immediately bring a medical team! Clear, over, out!" Snake shouted as he hurriedly moved towards the south deck of the ship. He had given the command post his location on the ship. He knew that their communication device which was also integrated in the contact lenses had already been activated as soon as their coordinates were traced and therefore his message would be heard and acknowledged by the Military.
After about forty seconds their aid arrived and Snake let out a long deep sigh as he said, "Hang in there, buddy! You'll make it!"
Torin laughed and with a stuttering voice he said, "Bro owes me his life now, right? I can request him anything from now on..." Snake narrowed his eyes as he muttered, "What a nutcase! You could die any moment now and you're grinning like that? How I wish I had a nutcase like you as my best friend!"
"Well I'm not just his best friend… I'll become his brother-in-law, soon!" Torin declared before he finally passed out.
"What?!" Snake burst out and shook his head… He was now sure that Torin would be asking a big favor from their General once everything was settled.
Back at the Ghost Ship….
Jungkook saw Mr. Big and Draco scurrying inside the ship towards the quarterdeck with Thea dragged alongside them, while Jeru was chasing after them. Jungkook then dashed to catch up with them.
There were episodes of gunshots coming from both Jungkook's and Mr. Big's men as Jungkook and Jeru ran after Mr. Big, Draco and Thea.
However, Mr. Big's men who were posted inside the ship had been alarmed as soon as they heard a series of gunshots from the upper deck outside. They rushed up to the deck only to see that their boss was being chased by Jungkook and Jeru. They then darted forward to attack the two. Thea felt her eardrums would soon explode from the blaring gunshots.
"Go! Just leave me here!!!" she shouted at Jungkook and Jeru when she saw them fighting Leon's men. Even though they both were extraordinary fighters, but they were clearly outnumbered. Thea didn't want anything bad to happen to them. She didn't mind being taken hostage by Leon as she believed that Leon still loved her, at least enough to spare her from death.
