Chapter 40

Author P.O.V

"We need to leave" Jordyn states after looking at the text from Shawn Nacia is currently in his lap passed out because of all the food he just consumed.

"Why?" Dom questions confusion laced in his voice at Jordyn's sudden change in demeanor. They're just talking, and then suddenly Jordyn checks his phone, looks around at his surroundings with an unreadable expression, then he states that they need to leave. Exude Dom for being a little confused.

"We're being followed" Jordyn states getting up and walking away with Nacia in his arms. Dom quickly follows after him still in a confused daze.

"By who?" Dom questions before Jordyn stops and hands Nacia to him before making sure he has easy access to his gun and that its safety is off.

"Stay close by" Jordyn simply states in a serious tone ignoring Dom's question because he doesn't know who's following them. Jordyn looks for the nearest exit because there's no way he's about to put innocent people at risk.

He suddenly hears gunshots from the distance and curses when he sees people panicking and running out of the mall. Jordyn knows the gunshots weren't nearby, so they either came from where Trey or Shawn are. He's guessing Shawn because he's the one who noticed he was being followed. Jordyn pays attention to his surroundings he wasn't being followed by anybody he doesn't know about Trey though.

Jordyn ignores the panicking people bumping into him while screaming and hysterically crying. It's safe to say the day at the mall escalated. Jordyn is glad Nacia isn't awake to see this because he doesn't know what he'd do if he was forced to deal with a panicking child, and avoiding shooting and killing in front of said child to avoid causing even more trauma.

"Jordyn we need to leave," Dom says shielding Nacia away from the screaming panicking people. It's been scientifically proven Nacia can sleep through anything.

"I need to make sure the others are okay," Jordyn says trying to come up with a plan. He can't leave Dom and Nacia alone while people are shooting.

"You have to trust Shawn and Trey can handle themselves" Dom states in a strained voice after someone elbows his side. Jordyn is surprised that Dom is calm in this amount of chaos. Mothers are screaming and crying for their children, people looking for their wallets, people pushing, and even hitting. Jordyn is used to the chaos it doesn't faze him he's seen worse.

Jordyn knows they can handle themselves, but can King and Andre? that's who he's truly worried about the most. 

"Okay," Jordyn says taking a deep breath to calm himself down a little. He's got to get Dom and Nacia out of here and hope that Shawn and Trey keep Andre and King safe, and make it out alive. Jordyn grabs Dom's hand into a tight grip and starts walking towards the exit the number of people around him is making it hard to even take a step.

While Jordyn and Dom are making their way towards an exit there's stuff going on on the other side of the mall.

....

"Shawn you're hurting me" Andre states at the right grip that Shawn has on his hand. The man typed something on his phone and grabbed Andre's arms and started speed walking. It's safe to say Andre is a little confused.

"I'm sorry, but we need to leave" Shawn states not letting go much to Andre's confusion.

"Can you tell me why?" Andre questions looking around the mall anxiously trying to get his answer from his surroundings which doesn't help much because his thoughts are all over the place.
