Riley

Chapter 26

Peter POV
I sit and pick at my steak taking another slow mouthful and chewing with the thoughts of Riley. A gunshot makes me jump and then spit out my food. Everyone in the room is panicking and screaming and running frantically. I jump off the bar stool. I have to get to Riley.

Another gun shot but this time it's closer. "RILEY!" I scream. We have to get to the duffle bags and go. I'm in full panic mode right now.

"RILEY." I tell again trying to navigate my way through the people. I spot her trying to move Daniel but he's moving so slowly. Surely not from me hitting his collar bone.

"RILEY, Riley we have to go." I yell over the screams and grab her by the arm. I try to pull her but she's holding onto Daniel.

"He's been shot!" There are tears in her eyes and I can see that she's panicking.

I look over her to him and see that he's been shot in his side. A third shot rings out and strikes the glass that I assume Riley was drinking from, spilling drink everywhere.

"Riley, they are shooting at us. Well, you mostly but us. We have to go. " I grab Daniel by the arm and shove through the people to get to our rooms.

We keep our heads low, which is easy considering it a ton of people in here. If we stay low we can make it to the room. I look up to see who the shooter is. He's a man dressed In all black like he ones who showed up at Riley's house. He shoots and it misses my head.

We all move as quick as we can with a person whose been shot. A man near me cries out in pain as the bullet hits him in the arm.

I fish for the keys to the door and hurry inside my room. Riley lays Daniel on the bed and starts to quickly strip him from his suit jacket and shirt.

"Wow. That's a lot of blood." She runs into the bathroom.

"Riley were are your room keys?" She leans out and tosses them at me. "And is everything you need to take in your duffle bag."

"Yes."

I try to hurry into her room without being shot at but that doesn't work. The shooter stalks forward and nearly hits my head before I slip into her room and lock it.

I grab her duffle and smash the bedroom window. Man am I happy we picked a ground level room.

I easily slide out Riley's window and and slide to the right to knock on my bedroom window. Riley has found some gauz and is tying is wounds up by wrapping it all the way around his upper torso.

I knock again and hear the door break down to Riley's room. I need her to hurry. I knock harder and she jumps.

Running over to me she unlocks the window. I climb in and move to Daniel. "Can you move? I know it'll hurt but we have to leave right now. The shooter just broke down Riley's bedroom door." I start to explain. He looks at me with malice but then it fades away as quickly as it came. "They will soon break down this door when they we aren't in there."
