Jasper raced toward the crowd as people called out in a frenzy, “Man
down! Man down!” Up ahead, desperately trying to get to her husband,
Tesla struggled to get through the masses. With her rounded belly, she was
in danger of getting knocked over or injured in some other way. Jasper
quickly came up behind her, and, wrapping his arms around her, swung her
off to the side and whispered in a hushed voice, “I’ll get to him and
determine his status. You stay here.”
She half buckled against him, as he gently put her on her feet, out of the
way of the chaos all around them. Then he turned and quickly fought his
way to Mason’s side.
Mason, his eyes open, stared skyward, but it was obvious that he was in
shock. Blood poured from the gunshot wound to his head, and Jasper
caught a glimpse of shattered bone behind it. It seemed as if the bullet must
have hit the bone, pushing the fragment outward, and then traveling through
to the ground somewhere behind Mason. “Somebody find that damn
bullet,” Jasper barked, and others scattered.
Frowning, Jasper dropped down beside another man, who was working
on Mason. “Are the EMTs on the way?”
The man, with his hand and a piece of cloth on Mason’s head wound,
gave a curt nod. “They are. We need to get him stabilized …” He let his
voice trail off.
Jasper immediately checked over the rest of Mason. A bullet wound
appeared on his lower abdomen. Jasper immediately ripped off part of his
shirt, folded it quickly, and applied pressure to stop the bleeding from that
wound too.
The other guy nodded at him in approval. “Nobody saw anything, of
course,” he said in a clipped tone, as he turned to look at the crowd that still
remained.
Immediately everybody nearby shook their heads.
“From this angle, I would call it as a sniper atop that roof,” Jasper said,
pointing to the red building off to the side. “Get a team over there now.”
With that, several men took off. He hoped that others had heard the
shots and were already pursuing the gunman, so that the guys heading there
now were just secondary assistance. Now, Jasper heard the sirens of
emergency vehicles racing toward them. He looked over at the other guy,
realized it was Masters, and asked in a low voice, “Chances?”
“It’s Mason,” Masters said curtly. “In other cases, not much chance, but
it’s him,” he added, shaking his head. “And he’s got everything in the world
to live for,” he murmured, as he cast a glance to where Tesla stood, still
vertical, but barely, as she stared out at the crowd, her face white, shock and
fear evident in her gaze. “I’ve got this, if you want to deal with her,”
Masters offered.
“I’ll deal with her once we get Mason squared away with the EMTs,”
Jasper murmured.
“You are family, aren’t you?”
He gave him a small smile. “Yeah, cousins by marriage.”
“That’s family, and she’ll need it.”
