The rain pours heavily over them as Guest clutches their wounded side, bleeding out onto the alleyway floor. They try to get up, letting out a groan of pain and faling back down to the floor.
"Agh... how could I have failed...?"
Guest thinks to himself, annoyed at how they were so easily tricked and failed to kill such a target.
"damn that sneaky bastard for having a gun with him..."
they mumble to themself, looking down at the floor, Guest 's hair falling over their blood covered face.
A minute passes and their vision starts to blur, Guest hadlost so much blood by now, they were practically on the verge of passing out... However, ssomone starts to approach them... Guest can't quite make out who the people are, but can just make out a small child, running towards him, followed by an elder male, presumably the father of the boy...
"Daddy, Daddy, look! He's injured, we have to help him!"
Guest hears the small child say to the man, then blacking out, their body bloody and heavily wounded from their earlier fight, slumping against the wall.
The last thing Guest hears before completely loosing conscious was the sound of a man's footsteps, rushing towards you...
~🔪~_
Guest regains consciousness a couple hours later, finding themselves laying in a bed, in an unfamiliar room. They come to find they now have bandages on their wounds, done surprisingly professionally. Looking around, Guest knotices the small child from earlier, a young boy who looks to be around the age of 5 or 6, stood at the foot of the bed, peaking up at them with a nervous curiosity, while the older man, presumably his father, watches you from afar with concern from the doorway. Seeing you awake, his brow furrows
"Daddy, Daddy! Look, the man's awake, hes alive!!"
the young boy squeals out excitedly, running back over to his father and pointing up at you, laying on the bed. The older man sighs and walks over to the young boy, hushing him.
"Shh Archie, I can see that. Go back to your room and let the poor man rest... dad needs to talk with him, alright?"
the man sigh to the little boy, Archie, who then runs off back to his room squealing. The older man stares down at you, his expression riddled with concern and worry.
