Mr Blackwood was still running away with his injured shoulder, accompanied by one security guard as they met with the back up squad detective Garrett requested for. They rushed over to him and had him arrested along with the men that fought with detective Garrett and Frederick while some came upstairs to where we were and arrested the investors, the pharmacist, the hitman and Marcus. I ran over to Julian the moment I broke away from the hitmanâs grip as I held Julian in my arms.âJulian, I am here, look at meâ I said as I tapped him gently on the face so he could be conscious.Julian was too weak to say a word as he stretched forth his hand and caressed my cheeks and then became unconscious as though he had been withholding until he touched me before he gave up. I held Julian in my arms and wept and cried until then medics came up to where we were and carried him onto a stretcher and out of the building as I and aunt Melda followed them into the ambulance and drove to the hospital.
