I picked up David's gun and holtsered it in the waistband of my jeans with my other gun. I walk out of this room and into the hallway. I can't think of what I lost, only of what I have to do. Get to the office, that's my goal. I duck into another room as a large group of boys jogs past, all of them muttering. They were in distress. There leader was no where to be found and no one knew what to do. The soldiers had no brains of thier own. Only relying on the leader to tell them what to do.
I know I have to make it down about 30 meters to turn left and make it to the Main Office. I pat my back pocket and reassure myself that my papers are still there. I hang my head, realizing how twisted this had all turned out. I had told Ryan to get these papers to the right people no matter what happened to me. And now look at the world. Ryan is gone. I want to do nothing, but lay down and cry until find me. Kill me. I wouldn't care.
But, I know something that keeps me standing. Ryan is watching me. Whispering from Heaven that he loved me and saying he believes in me. He would not find it sweet or romantic if I gave up to die with him. He would be disappionted. I was still here and I had a mission to accomplish. That's what I have to do and Ryan will be with me and I will not give up.
I stand and listen and here no one coming so I slip out of my hiding spot. The hallway is open and I pull out my gun. I pray there are still some bullets. I tip toe down the hallway and stop at the corner. I peak carefully around the corner and listen intently. Nothing. I make a mad dash for the office. I was a sprinter, so I sucked at running anything farther that 40 yards. I knew I could make it so I went for it.
I stopped at the door and looked down either way of the hall. To my left I see a boy. Not even old enough to be a sophmore, a young little freshman. I spots me, eyes wide. He doesn't try to shoot me, but he yells at the top of his lungs. "I FOUND HER!!! IT'S THE GIRL!! SOMEONE COME HERE! TO THE OFFICE!!" I hurry into the office and the door muffles the sound of his screams.
I search the office for and envelope and stuff my papers into it. I scribble on to it "SERGEANT CAMPOS - LIFE OR DEATH" Then below it I sign my name. I start to hear the boys draw closer to the door on my left, to my right is the doorway to freedom and I run towards it greedily.
As I open the exit, I hear the boys rush through the other door. I ran down through the doors and to the drive way, down to the police barricade. I hear my own harsh breath in my ears, my blood pumping dangerously fast. I waved the envelope, shouting. The police at the barricade about 50 meters away perk up and point guns, but they see me and know I'm their informant. I was still 20 meters away when I felt it.
A sharp pain in my back, then one in my knee, then my shoulder, and that's when I fell. Surprisingly, I didn't feel pain, the adrenaline fixing that with every heart beat. I fall and slowly roll to my back. The sky was so blue. I closed my eyes, which had gotten so heavy, and thought of Ryan.
