Sarah woke up to her phone ringing, she was confused by who would be calling so late, but she picked it up anyway.
"Hello?" She said grogily.
"Sarah honey i need you to get your daddy one the phone" a man called put, he sounded like he was panicing
"Uncle Tommy, what time is it"
"Sarah I need joel no-" Tommy was cut off by the phone going dead.
"Weird" Sarah said walking out of her room and walking down the hall, opening her dads door she found no one and a tv with the news station running.
A fireman was speaking to a woman
"Mam you need to leave there's Ben a gas leak."
Sarah stared at the tv
"Mam you need to go right n-" The tv went blank and Sarah heard a loud boom. Looking out the window she saw an explosion from the downtown area. She stood in shock for a moment before running downstairs yelling for her dad.
When she got downstairs she foundher dads phone, when she activated it she saw multiple messages from Tommy asking for Joel to call him, Sarah was entranced in the phone when she heard a dog yowl outside.
She looked over to find her slie door open, her dad rushing in.
"Daddy" she looked at him puzzled.
"Sarah honey did anyone come in." He said, Sarah could hear in his voice how uneasy he was.
"No why would anyone come in here-"
"Stay away from the door honey." Joel pulled out a small black box, inside was a .357 magnum with a black polyester grip, a speedloader was also inside the box. Joel checked his revolver to find it was already loaded, he stuck the speed loader into his pocket.
"Daddy I'm scared," Sarah said inching coser to her dad.
"Stay behind me honey," Joel packed up and used his arm to block Sarah from moving closer, Sarah grabbed onto him and looked forward, suddenly a man ran into the door smashing through it.
"Jimmy stop," Joel said the man stood up started rushing towards him
"Jimmy I am warning you-" before joel could finish Jimmy was lunging at him, joel had no choice but to pull the trigger in a flash Jimmy was on the floor, joel vision was spotted in red. He led his daughter into the other room.
"You... you sh- you sho-" Sarah was stuttering.
"Listen to me baby, look at me; we have t go," Joel saw a light cast against his wall. "That's tommy." He led his daughter outside and instructed her to get in the back of Tommy pickup, is was red and covered in scratches, there was a bumper sticker reading combat veteran on the truck and a cow catcher in the front. Tommy stepped out, he had long blonde hair, courtesy of Joel's step mom. Tommy had a bright red button up shirt which was halfway buttoned, the shirt was short-sleeved, under that he has a wifebeater and dog tags.
"You been hearing what's going on Joel."
"I got some notion." Joel said opening his arms to reveal his blood stained shirt, he lifted Sarah into the back of his truck.
"Holy shit joel-"
"It ain't mine, now let's go." Joel said getting into Tommy's truck. They pulled out of the driveway and began driving down the road.
