"YOW EVERYBODY MOVE OUT!" Romello's voice echoes through the house. One minute the place was calm and the next was just pure chaos. Everything seemed much more like a blur of events rather than actual events.
I was previously seated around khalil's desk placing money in the money counter machine. But now I was standing at the door...
frozen,
Frozen as I somehow watched everyone around me panicking. It was all happening so fast...the running around me, the screams of the women that were here and now the smell of furniture rapidly burning. My head was spinning trying to fathom All of this,
The house was on fire and I was watching it spread by the minute. I could feel the heat around me but still I couldn't move from my position.
"Weh Judah deh?!" I hear khalil's frantic voice but it seems so distant.
"She did inna the office, mi Neva si shi come out."another voice replies, after that I begin to hear gunshots, extremely loud gunshots outside the building...then out of no where Khalil grabs my arm,
"Judah we affi evacuate the building now!!" He tells me, he begins walking swiftly in front of me leading the way out by the emergency exit. In no time I'm outside and I meet kaesha and chinny who the dcf men are leading to a car that will drive away from the burning building.
"Wait, no weh yah guh?"I finally say to Khalil as he attempts to push me towards the car, at this point we're all dodging bullets, along with the horrible heat of the fire causing us to feel like we were melting in some strange way.
"Mi affi stay and fight Judah, for now mi affi mek sure yuh get to safety."
The look in his eyes tells me that he doesn't want to leave me but he has to, it's his responsibility...
"No...Khalil."
Tears are brimming my eyes as I look up at him.
"I promise, I'll come get you and the babies soon ok..." with that he kisses my forehead before I'm swiftly placed into the black suv by one of the dcf guards. As the car drives away from the building the fire seems to become even stronger and then...it explodes causing not only the house to disintegrate but the car I'm in to crash,
