Morgan was only a few footsteps from the phone. His breath came out in desperate huffs, and his fingers twitched with anticipation. Growling, Rich stampeded towards Morgan.
"No you don't!"
Rich had planned the demise of those who foiled him perfectly, and his stomach churned at the thought of it being ruined in a simple moment. He abanded his own pain and dashed Morgan away from the phone. He kicked the boy unto the ground.
At that moment, his heart fell to the floor when he heard the creaking of stairs as someone ascended them.
"What's going on?" The voices of two parents demanded.
Rich's eyes widened and he made his way quickly towards the door, but Morgan clasped his hands around his ankle. Rich tumbled unto the ground, tangled like a pretzel. He looked up at the door, which was now blocked by a man and a woman, who seemed far from happy to see him.

Chris smacked his fist into the cheek of his captive. The man grunted, but reacted quickly and threw Chris upon his back. He winced.
"You keep fighting, and it'll only be worse," the man chuckled.
"We will not back down!" Matt shouted, bravely defending his face from a kick.
The tension in the air was torn by a loud and familiar sound. Police sirens squealed out, as if the destiny of the men was decided at that moment. Matt, Chris, and Dom sighed of the largest relief in their lives.
"It's the fuzz. Let's head out."
"No you don't!" Dom exclaimed, throwing a punch at the nearest of the men. He simply gave Dom an extremely annoyed look.
Chris kicked one in the back of the knee, causing him to topple over. The other two grew agitated and began to leave without him.
"Wait!" He shouted, just as a chorus of police yelled "Freeze!"
