Jenna enters the kitchen and throws open the oven. Inside she finds a plate of roasted chicken, potatoes and veggies. Jenns mouth waters as she pulls it out and lays it on the counter.
"Try to eat all of it at once" Jarred says grabbing the serving plate and placing it on the dinner table.
He opens the curtains so some of the moonlight can come in through the window. Jenna cuts a piece for herself and devours it. Jarred walks over to grab a drink from the fridge. Jennas phone rings in her pocket.
"Mom??" She says recognising the international phone number.
"Jenna are you at home?" Her mom is speaking very fast.
"Yes. Why?"
"Listen to me very carefully. Go upstairs to the safe behind the painting in the office, the code is 7791. Inside you'll find a backpack, put everything in the safe into the bag and get out the house right now."
Jenna looks at Jarred confused.
"Mom what the hell are talking about?" She asks.
The connection gets faulty and for a second it sounds like her mom is speaking through a tunnel.
"They'll be a phone inside the safe with GPS coordinates, follow them and stay there. Your dad and I will meet you there in a week."
Jenna writes the code down in her phone while she can still remember it.
"Mom what's going on?" She asks.
"The house is...safe...Run Jenna...RUN!!"
The line dies and Jenna stands there lost for words. Jarred looks at her completely unaware of what just happened. Just before he can say anything Jason barges into the room.
"There's people with guns outside." He says.
Jenna is about to ask what he's talking about when she sees a figure step out of the darkness behind the window. No one moves...no one even breathes. They can all see him and he can see them, seconds is all they have to decided what to do. Jason meets Jennas eye.
"On the count of three we're all going to duck. 1...2...3" Jason flicks his hand and the table flips over blocking the window just as bullets rain through the windows.
The table begins to splinter and break apart. Jenna crawls along the floor to where Jason and Jarred are. Tyler opens the door and a ball of fire flies through the broken window and sets the shooters on fire. They scream and roll around on the floor trying to put it out.
"Move" Tyler says.
Jason stands up and sees three more men in black clothing carrying assault rifles come out of the shadows. He lifts the shards of broken glass and with a flick of his head impales them through the mens arms. Their guns drop to the floor. Jason takes Jennas hand and they run into the living room.
"Who are these people?" Jarred asks.
"Mom called with instructions." Jenna says.
The front door explodes and flies off it's hinges. Four men rush in and point guns at them. Jason points his hand at the chandelier above them. It explodes in sparks and falls on them. Taking advantage of their confusion Tyler charges at them. He moves quickly punching the first one in the throat and side kicking the second into the wall.
"We need to leave" Tyler says.
Behind him a woman in the same outfit walks through the broken door and tackles him pining him to the floor. Jason drives his foot across her face. She takes the blow and plants her foot on Tylers back. Jason dodges her fist and slams his own into her chest.
