He said louder this time, bending down on his knees to check his pulse. After a long pause full of double-checking and disbelieving, he looked up at the group, a given-up expression on his face. "He's..."
Nicholas hung his head low. He knew what the word was...but it was difficult to get it out. It kept getting caught in his throat until finally. "dead."
