"I won't let you kill my daughter!" Mack shouted.
BANG.
The sound of the gunshot rang through the room. Everyone froze for a second. Mack had his hand pointed straight toward the crowd of police, smoke coming off his gun.
BANG.
A second shot from Emily was fired only seconds after the first. A bullet right to the head. Mack fell to the floor instantly. He was dead.
The room fell silent besides the few cries from the kids. Everyone tried to understand what had just happened.
"Did he hit anyone?" Spencer finally asked, looking around. At first glance nobody seemed hurt.
That's when JJ noticed drops of blood near the front door. "What's that?" She asked, pointing to it.
"Chief?" One of the uniformed officers said. "We've only got 6 kids here." He motioned to the unharmed kids.
JJ felt her heart drop to her stomach. She was the first one who walked out the front door.
In the front yard she saw a little girl in a baby blue dress. Blood soaked through the front. She recognized her from the photos. Amy. She was only 3.
JJ rushed to her side, followed by everyone else. She was shot in the stomach, blood coming out like a waterfall.
The group of officers stood behind, one look at the little girl and they all knew there was no hope.
"Hey, hey, it's okay," JJ whispered, scooping her into her lap. Amy had blonde hair and bright blue eyes, very similar looking to JJ.
"M-Mommy," Amy murmured, barely conscious. "Shh, it's okay, it's alright," JJ cooed, stroking her face with her thumb.
Everyone stood in front of the house and watched. Nobody dared move or say a word. That girl needed to die in peace. Watching the scene broke a part of everyone.
"Mama f-found me," Amy reached up and grabbed a strand of JJ's hair. JJ could feel the blood soaking through her own clothes now, warm and sticky.
"I'm here, mommy's here," JJ said softly. She was so little, just a baby really. The last thing a child could want is to be held by their mother. If JJ could give Amy the illusion that she got to die in her mom's arms, she was happy to do that.
"Don't be scared, it's okay. It's okay," JJ rocked her back and forth gently. She could hear an ambulance in the distance but it was far too late and everyone knew it.
A small smile formed on Amy's tiny little face. The pain was gone. Her eyes started to close. "Go to sleep," JJ soothed. "It's alright, just go to sleep."
Amy died in that front lawn.
When the paramedics got there everything was a blur for JJ. They took Amy's body away in the ambulance. No sirens, no lights.
Emily helped JJ up from the ground. Crime scene techs started to show up, it was the team's time to leave.
Emily drove back to the hotel with Spencer in the front seat and JJ in the back. The whole ride was silent. Not a single word was uttered.
