"Bang!" That was the sound.

Instinctively, Colin wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his embrace, shielding me from the impact.

"Run... get out..." Damian's voice was raspy, barely there, as if he'd mustered all his strength for those words.

Get out.

"Dr. Damian!" The hospital's security rushed over, surrounding Damian, and dialed 911 for an ambulance.
