The shot echoed through the area.
The road trip took them to Louisiana. They haven’t been gone too long before they crossed through a very dangerous state for Aleks. He knew he shouldn’t have taken Kevin to this place. They got caught hardly five minutes into the gas station only because there was a fucking cop fueling his car.Â
He recognized Aleks and Aleks knew he was seen. So he had taken Kevin and ran with him.
The cop must have assumed he was an accomplice.
Because the shot fired and Kevin is down. Not Aleks, but Kevin.
Why.
Aleks watched as his world crashed around him, almost literally. Everything seemed to lose it’s color, slow down, and the sound dulled. Maybe the sound part was just a side effect of gunfire.
He couldn’t stop for anything if he wanted to live. Aleks severed the emotional ties he formed with the now-dead man beside him, and let go of his wrist. He kept running.
He knows Kevin is dead.
He can mourn later.
