Children's Story

The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
he said “Keep still, boy, no need for static”,
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap,
but little did he know the lil’ boy was strapped,
The kid pulled out a gun, he said “Why did ya hit me ?”,
the barrel was set straight for the cop’s kidney

Karissa knelt by the fallen Jordan. “He’s bleeding really badly! ”
Matt bent next to her and ripped his friend’s shirt open. “He’s been shot!” He cried in horror.
Karissa didn’t say anything but pressed a hand to Jordan’s bleeding chest, trying to stop it.
“I’ll call 911.” Matt cried, pulling out his cell phone in near panic.

No!” Karissa cried. “You can’t call the police!”

What the- Matt dropped his phone in shock.
What do you mean?” He demanded.

Karissa was crying now. “I’ll explain everything to you! You just have to trust me!”

Matt just stood there frozen with his mouth hanging open.

“Help me get Jordan in the car,” Karissa cried. “Before he bleeds to death!”
