Crossing Ending Re-write

He removed the hand from his stomach and reached for his back pocket, dug at something and pulledat it untill his bloddy hand held it up to manny. It was the wallet. "No," Manny said. "Not in this way. No." "Take it," Robert said now. "Take it and run and cross and get the green card and live there. It is what you want. What I want you to have. Take it and run before there are police here, little monkey, and do not let the snake..." but before he could continue his thoughts slipped away, his mind clouding and sorroundings fading.

Manny saw this and ran out to the street looking for some one to help. 3 police officers showed up just as manny exited the alley. "Vengan, come please" he quickly rushed them to where the sergeant layed. "What happened here?" asked one of the officers. "I was attacked by the street wolves," manny said "the sergeant was with me and killed them, with his bare hands.." "But they had weapons.. Knives and a chain, they hurt the sergeant please help him!" Manny beggan to sobb & just layed with his back against the wall.
 "Please save him, esta muy herido." Two of the police officers carried the sergeant out to the street as the other called for an ambulance. "Tell us exactly what happened here y como te llamas" said an officer. Manny had only seen their uniforms so far, as he looked up he recognized the officer, it was the officer that had *saved* him at the bridge. " Me lammo Manny Bustos," manny said now after taking a pause to inspect the officer " I was just walking down the street when i saw the sergeant in the alley, he looked sickly so i came to see if he could use help." manny paused to clear tears from his cheeks, he thought it would not be manly to keep crying. "
We were just headed out the alley when those four 'wolves' appeared, they said they wanted to take me and told the sergeant to leave." Said manny as he took a deep breath. "But the sergeant did not move.. said he would not move and they attacked him." He wiped a tear from his eye and continued. " First one attacked... he had a knife but the sergeant did not care he cut the sergeants arm... but with one move from the sergeants hand had the man dead lifeless on the floor." Just then manny noticed the lights and sounds of the siren that had come for the sergeant and how they took him across the bridge.
Three weeks had passed since the accident manny had not crossed the border instead he waited for the sergeant to get well and return the wallet when he returned. After recovering the sergeant went back to his usual agenda. he visited the Club Congo Tiki and his drinking, but now he did not drink till his mind was numb and gone, but just because he liked drinking.
