Ex-Childhood Crush

Abbey's POV

The ship was fulled to the brim.
Even through the special and staff route it was full.
Other security guards taking with them people they know through the not so crowed as outside route that was how her country opporated.
It was called wastah.
Meaning you only get your way if you knew someone who worked or knew someone to help you with what you wanted.
But to get something by your own means was very hard .
Their whole country or at least their city worked like this.

" Sorry for all this Lady Zeglin ". Ross guy said pushing people out the way.
Sweat clung to people the foul smell of odor hung in the air.
People were coughing and sneezing.
And she shuddered from all the Germs that were present a shower was needed right away.
To some people she could see their shadows clinging to them while others had a protective white sheet over them .
Chatter was heard with everyone talking over the other when bells starting ringing and red bulbs flashing.
You can imagine the panic people's words dieing on their lips.
Some startled all frightened faces become clearer with the second.
Loved ones clinging to the other , mothers grabbing the hands of her children.
Father protectively inching closer to his children and people's motions frozen into time.
All that happened in a second before cause erupted people pushing eachother trying to run to the exit , trampling one another.
I myself stumped on the panicky expression i know would arise if not covered by a calm face .
Ross guy stretched out his arm and pushed her to the wall allowing people to run and not trample them in the process.
Crying babies screaming kids and adults , shouting mothers looking for their lost child during the cause.
Guards clearly only fearing for themselves started running for the exit .
The walls suddenly looked really small and as if squeezing into them.
She looked to the side where the guy held her back.

" What's going on ". She asked.

" We're damn under attack".

" No ". She said in disbelief.

" Damn yes , now we gotta let these chicken go before i can take you to the life boats and get you out of here ".

" Where do i go ". She said itching to bite her nails.

" Italy of course it's the closest route by sea ".

" But that will take three days ". She argued.

He rose an eyebrow.

" Then i hope you packed food".

Of course she did not pack food!
Oh this fella was going to pay once he got her to safety.
No one mocked or disrespected a Ziglin this way.
Not ever.
----------------------

The gun was clasped in her hand in the bag though.
There was no reason to let Ross know she was armed and knew very well how to wield a gun.

After everyone ran out she could still hear them down the stairs clattering down it.
With echoed fights and words that were muffled by the steel doors.

-----------

They were jogging down a route when someone came running down it the opposite way.
Both parties stopped and looked at the other.
The guy seemed to be in his late twenties.
He weilded a dagger far cry from safety then a gun.
Though he most likely had a gun in the waist band of his jeans covered by his long shirt.

" You wanna survive follow me ". The guy said.

" What makes you think that we'll follow ". She asked.

The guy gave her a loathsome look , it was the look she got from sexist guys and men.

" No one asked your opinion you filthy woman ".

He didn't even see it coming the bullet stuck true to the heart.

" Nor yours ".
She said as the guy fell to his knees wheezing and clutching at his heart.
She did not want to grimace and show weakness to Ross guy .
The number one rule in her country is kill or be killed.
She would not be killed she was too selfish for that.
Before the guy could react the gun was trained on Ross guy.
" Drop your gun ". She told him.
His gun clattered to the ground reverberating in the now silent hall.
Except for the wheezing man on the ground she tried not to glance at and ignore.
A silent prayer was made to god to let him live and to ask for forgiveness.

" Your other gun and dagger". Here she was just looking in the dark , she did not know if the guy had other weapons.
But he did, both dagger and gun felt next to their feet.
Abbey kicked both weapons and they skidded away.

" Come , you will take me to something safer than a boat.
I know this ship has a helicopter i want you to take me to it ".

" I don't-".

But he had no time to finish as the gun poked the back of his head .

" Now ". She pressed on the word.
