What if—Charlie had been hit in Sniper Zero? Nothing fatal just hurt

The suspected sniper known as Nathan Crane, was already getting into position to make the shot. He looked out the window to see his potential victims on the streets below. As he carefully put the rifle together, he thought back to the laundry list of failures that brought him to this moment. As he searched through the scope to see his next victim, he noticed something odd, suddenly there was no one around. He panicked, how was he going to conquer this failure if there weren't even any victims for him to shoot?!

Suddenly he noticed a car pull up to the sidewalk, finally! A young man who looked to be in his early 20's stepped out of the car, he had long curly hair and appeared to be scribbling away on a notepad. The young man was completely unaware of the danger he was about to find himself in. As the first shot rang out, the words "not a word to dad about this, the man already thinks I'm going to wind up getting you killed" came to Don's mind. He saw Charlie and panicked, Oh God, Dad was right!

"Charlie get down!" as he screamed for him to take cover, he saw the blood and heard the screams. His worst fear had come true: Charlie had been hit and what's worse? It was all his fault. Charlie wouldn't have been out here if it weren't for me! I should have protected him!

Charlie collapsed in an ever-growing puddle of blood, all he said was "it hurts Don, it really hurts! And I'm sorry." Agent Edgerton eliminated the threat but it was already too late. Though Crane was dead, it was now Charlie who has paid the price.

Don ran to his brother, "Charlie, why were you here? hey hey Charlie, it's okay bud, I just need to see where he got you." As Don searched for the source of the blood, he found what he was looking for, it looks like he was shot in the shoulder. "Hey bud, it's okay, you're going to be fine, I know it hurts but I need you to stay awake alright? "We got an ambulance on the way, you just stay with me okay buddy?"

Charlie struggled to keep his eyes open, he was losing too much blood and he was going to pass out any minute, as he did, Don looked on helpless to do anything. As the ambulance arrived on the scene Don struggled not to lose it as they performed their assessment. "The victim is in his early 20's, appears to have sustained a GSW to the left shoulder, no major arteries appear to have been hit by the bullet, seems to have gone straight through the collarbone, he appears to have lost a significant amount of blood. Charlie began to take a turn for the worst, all of the sudden, the machines that were beeping a steady rhythm before, started making a series of rapid beeps, Don heard "Vitals are crashing, let's get him in the back so we can work!"

As the Ambulance drove away, all Don could do was pray, and like it or not, he had a phone call to make…
