Mila
Me and Lucille followed Charlotte around ensuring all windows and doors were locked. She knew something more was about to happen and I hated how sure she was of it.
It was just us three and the baby, if people showed up here, quite frankly I wasn't sure what we'd be able to do.
"that's all of them" she sighed, looking slightly more relieved.
"what do we do now?" I asked hesitantly, not really wanting her to answer
"we go and sit in Danny's office" she smiled sheepishly and began making her way up the stairs, us following her closely behind.
I looked down at Toby, who was thankfully asleep but dread filled me thinking about what would happen if he were to wake up. We'd be totally fucking screwed.
"should I call my dad?" Lucille sat opposite us, "he could help us"
"we can't trust anyone right now" Charlotte sighed as she started rummaging through her husbands desk
"but he's my dad" Lucille seemed insulted at the idea of her father not being someone to trust.
"I know and I trust your father Lucy, I do but isn't he at an event tonight?" she looked up, becoming more agitated because she clearly wasn't seeing what she needed in the desk drawers.
"oh yes" Lucille looked down at her feet
"those people he's surrounded with are the ones we can't trust and the ones we don't want to alert" Charlotte now moved her way through the room, towards the bookshelves.
We were all silent as we watched her rip stuff apart. There seemed to be an urgency in her actions now.
"have you ever done something like this before?" Lucille whispered at me.
"not this exactly but i've dealt with other stuff... we'll be okay, she knows what shes doing" I nod my head to Charlotte, who at this moment in time, did not look like she knew what she was doing.
Lucille shuffled across and sat beside me. She looked as terrified as I felt.
"it'll be fine" I smiled
The was a crashing and banging downstairs and suddenly there was a thud of shoes trampling into the hallway just below us.
"shit" Charlotte cursed, "Daniel you weren't this fucking stubborn were you?"
Toby startled in my arms at the sudden influx of noise. Thankfully he didn't cry but I knew if this shit continued, it would only be a matter of time.
The noises downstairs only got louder as they started pulling shit out of cupboards and cabinets.
The crashing noise sounds rattled through me.
"ahhh hah" Charlotte pulled out a box and carried it towards us.
"you two know how to shoot?" she looked up at us slightly hopeful
"no I do not" Lucille shook her head
Charlotte turned her attention to me,
"i'm American" I grinned, "it's sadly in my blood"
"ok good" she smiled as she handed me a gun.
"you're on baby duty then" I chirp as I pass Toby to Lucille. She hesitantly took him and crawled further into the corner.
"are we going to wait for them to find us?" I fiddle with the gun in my hands. It had been a while since i'd held one. I wasn't fond on using them but now was a time they were actually needed.
"fuck no" Charlotte stood up, "they're looking for something in here, so we need to keep them away from in here"
"what are they looking for?" Lucille's voice was quiet
