Gabe had almost lost his dog, best friend, and parents all because he had been gone for a week. Gabe was surprised at how quickly he had stopped panicking about almost loosing buddy. he had just taken a deep breath and thought " at least were all right" and he just... calmed. " maybe its delayed shock?" he thought. " no that cant be it... you don't just... stop being scared... this is defiantly something else" he thought almost speaking aloud. " you alright bro?" asked Daniel sitting down next to Gabe and buddy. " yeah" lied Gabe. " its going to be all right. and its not delayed shock." said Daniel thinking. "what? how-" "you talk aloud sometimes" answered Daniel before Gabe could finish his question. a shot gun blast sounded breaking the window. an assault riffle sounded blasting the door with holes. "DONT BREAK THE HOUSE!" yelled a stranger picking the lock to the door. "run!" shrieked Gabe's mom bolting for the garage. Gabe's dad was all ready un bolting the door when he got shot in the shoulder and thigh. he crumbled to the floor staining the carpet and blocking the door. Gabe's mom turned around and ran for her room, ran out and into the bathroom locking it behind her. Gabe and Daniel ran for Gabe's bed room and jumped. a firing broke Gabe's bed room window. glass rained down on the carpet. luckily Daniel and Gabe were safe under the bed. the living room door blasted open and three men charged in wile four stayed out. they found Gabe's mom immediately and went looking for the two kids. "gotcha you little rascal!" said one brushing Gabe's leg and taking ahold of Daniel's foot. Daniel was dragged out from under the bed. "let me... go!" he shrieked. "quiet kid! don't draw anymore here!" said a strange voice voice. " check under the bed for another survivor!" screamed the man. "no one else is here!" Daniel tried. "ha! I felt a second leg down there!: he said. "that was... my leg!" croaked Daniel. Gabe got the suspicion Daniel was being held by his neck. "fat chance little boy!" Gabe rolled out from the bed to see Daniel hoisted in the air by his throat. Gabe had Daniel's bbq fork and threw it at the man holding Daniel. the handle bounced off his face and into Daniel's pocket. the man immediately let go of Daniel and charged Gabe. "run!" Gabe shouted. Daniel dove out the window. just then Gabe got body slammed in the wall knocking him out.
