Man of fortune part two

                                    

                                          
You ran over towards the cliff; you didn't give a damn if Nadine shot you at this point,"No, Nate!!" Somehow in your mind you had intended to catch Nathan but he was already gone. You sat back down on the ground in utter shook before remembering that Sam jumped in front of Nathan; taking the bullet that had been meant for Nate. You quickly turned towards him, "Are you okay? Where did the bullet hit you?"
                          
Sam just shook his head, "The bullet just grazed my arm. I'm fine, Scarlett." You gently peeled away his shirt to get a better look at the wounded; it was bleeding steadily but it wouldn't require any stitches.
                          
Rafe's annoyingly smug voice chimed in, "The clock is ticking you two... let's get a move on. I'm not going to waste my time while you two have a little pow wow."
                          
You didn't know where you had gained the courage but you were on your feet and storming over towards Rafe. Nadine held you back as your poorly concealed rage made an appearance, "I don't give a SHIT!! about what you want or need. I just lost one of my best friends and I would like to make sure i don't lose another.... If you want your goddamn treasure then I suggest you let me tend to Sam's gunshot wound. Preferably before he bleeds out and your treasure is lost to us all.
                          
Rafe let his eyes rove over you before he narrowed his gaze, "Fine but make it quick!!!"
                          
You looked at Nadine and her men, "Do you have a spare canteen and some cloth?" Nadine's men procured the items that you needed and you walked back over to Sam. You knelt down on the ground near Sam's side; you pushed his sleeve back and proceeded to tear off a small peice of cloth.
                          
As you began to clean the blood and dirt away from the wound and you were silently thankful that the bullet had only grazed Sam's arm; it could have been much worse. Who were you kidding? It was a horrible situation and while Sam had done he had to protect Nathan; it wasn't enough and it didn't make up for the lies that Sam had fed you. Now Sam was injured and you had no idea if Nathan was dead or alive. You weren't really the praying type but if there was ever time to do so then now was the time. You were meticulously wiping away the dirt and grime when Sam decided to speak, "I'm sorry Scarlett."
                          
Your hand stilled for a moment, "For what exactly? Are you sorry for setting me on this path again? Or are you sorry for lying about why we'r actually here?"
                          
You threw the dirty rag onto the ground before tearing off a long piece of clean cloth; Sam halted your movements by lacing his hand on top of yours. "I'm sorry for all of it. But we were meant for all of this, Scarlett. All three of us.... finding this treasure will change this for us. I'll be able to give you the life that I always wanted. Once we find this treasure things will get better, I promise."
                          
You wrapped the string of cloth around Sam's arm then tying it off. "Yeah, I've heard one before. You shouldn't be making promises that you can't keep Sam."
                          
What will happen next?
                          
Will Sam and Scarlett be together again?
                          
Is Nathan alive or dead?
