- Please call a cop...
- Andy is stabbed by a member of his rival gang, the "Guardians", for being a "Royal". He bleeds out on the sidewalk and attempts to call out for help when he realizes he can't yell. He denies that he is dying, and distracts himself with his thoughts.
- Rising Action
- "Freddie, let's get out of here! Please!" (Hunter 5).
- "He's a Royal...I don't wanna get mixed up in this...I'm sorry" (Hunter 5).
- Andy assumes that this will just "be like all the other times" he's encountered a gang member, and continues laying down, listening to sounds around him. He mindlessly worries about what Laura must be doing, and "wondered if she had missed him yet" (Hunter 1).
- Climax
- As he hears footsteps, Andy sees a drunk man stumble into the alleyway. The man assumes Andy had fallen from being drunk himself, and offers to call the police, but changes his mind when he realizes they would get caught. The man leaves without helping Andy.
- Resolution
- "A Royal, huh?" (Hunter 7).
- "His name is Andy" (Hunter 7).
- A couple, Angela and Freddie, run to take shelter from the rain in the alleyway. They only take notice of Andy when he grunts in pain. Freddie sees him bleeding out, then sees his jacket that marks him as a Royal. They decide to not help him because they fear the Guardians might hurt them for helping their rival.
- Andy finally realizes that he is, in fact, dying, and that no one will help him because he's a Royal. Andy realizes that he will never see Laura, won't have a future at all because of how much his identity mattered to him. He tries to make off his jacket as the last thing he does before he dies, because he wanted to be known as just Andy and not a Royal.
- "I want to be Andy" (Hunter 6).
- By the time Laura finds Andy in the alley, it's too late to save him. She calls over a police officer anyways, who, like all the others, couldn't see Andy as anything more than the identity of his jacket.
