i am sitting in the office looking through designs that have been made, when all of a sudden i hear running.

i look up and see from the window people slamming the door to their offices. i quickly stand up and close the blinds.

the door opens and andrew walks in quickly and locks the door behind him. "keep quiet" he say

"where's billie?" i ask

"she's safe where she is,don't worry"

"no,where is she?" i ask sitting back down at my desk

"all that matters is that she's safe" he say

"no it's not,stop dissing my question! and tell me where the hell is she?"

"on the 15th floor in the meeting room" he say

"what's going on?" i ask

"armed shooter" he say

i look around the room before standing up and unplugging the office phone. i hear screaming in the far distance and head underneath my desk.

i pull out my phone and turn down my brightness before texting billie. i get no reply.

i hear banging get closer and closer to the room. "keep quiet" andrew whispers

i was quiet,he broke the fucking silence trynna tell someone that was quiet to be quiet. i sit my phone down and reach on top of my desk for scissors.

i pull my desk chair in hiding and tucking myself in. the door rattles like someone is trying to get in and i bury my head into my knees.

suddenly i hear glass break and the door opening. i hear the person taking small but noticeable steps inside.

"where the fuck is she? i'm coming for you billie o'connell. you think you can just fire me huh? you think you can ruin my life and get away with it?" i hear a man's voice say

i begin shaking in fear as he walks around the office. i hear him stop near billie's desk and a single tear stream down my face.

"if i don't find you now trust and believe i will go to your home and kill your entire family. your wife and your two kids will be dead and i will carve words into them."

i hear him bend down with a slight grunt and he look behind her desk. "where the fuck are you" he screams

andrew must've hid outside. i don't know where he is.

i hear him walk towards my desk and more tears fall out my eyes. "hmmm,aaliyah o'connell" he say out loud

he walks over in front of me and i hold my breath. he begins kneeling down and i grab the scissors placing them in my hand ready to stab him.

i come in contact with his face, both if us look dead at each other. he pushes the chair back and before i could do anything he grabs me pulling me. "where is your wife?" he asks

"i don't know" i say before stabbing him with the scissors

i push him back and stand up before going to run out. he grabs me by the ankles tripping me and he stands up pointing the gun right at me. "since you don't want to tell me where she is looks like i'll have to kill you"

"wait!" andrew say popping up from no where

andrew said it too late and by that time i was shot in the chest quickly. everything went black as soon as the bullet hit me.

i've made it out the building and i'm outside in the all black van. i've been texting andrew and he's been updating me.

everything was fine until he stopped replying.

"something isn't right"

"how come?" monroe asks

"andrew stopped replying" i say

"i should go in there" he say

"i'll come with you" i say

"no,you'll be putting yourself in danger" he say

i groan frustrated before texting aaliyah back. i wait five minutes and she doesn't text back.

"i need to go in there" i say

"why!"

"she's not answering. something's wrong" i say before standing up

i open the door and leave out. "let's think about this" he say

"nothing to think about"

"you're putting your life in danger"

"my wife is in there. you really think i give a fuck about that? as long as she's safe" i say

"she's probably dead already. no need for both of you to become dead. where will the kids go?"

"shut the fuck up" i say before heading towards the door

my phone begins ringing and i answer it immediately. "andrew. what's going on?" i ask quickly

"i killed him and he killed her. it's...im so sorry. she's dead" he say

"no, no stop lying" i say

"i'm not,im so sorry billie but she's dead. i'm coming down now" he say

my phone drops out my hand and i turn around heading back inside the the van. i sit down as the doors i was just told process in.

all the different emotions run through my body. he was lying right? it's just a silly prank? she's very much alive and they'll laugh it off.

i hear monroe talking to me but it's blurred out as the thoughts roam in my head. i stare at the random water bottle on the floor as everything else around is blurred out. my thoughts go blank and i never blink as i keep my eyes on it.

dead.

she's dead?

no.

i get knocked out my trance by monroe shaking me harshly. "knock out of it. it's going to be okay" he say

"okay? it's going to be okay? my wife is dead. how insensitive can you fucking be" i say as my legs shake rapidly

i look out the window and i see andrew walk out the door. i grab my gun before hopping out the van. "woah woah,what are you doing?" monroe asks following behind me

"he's fucking dead" i say walking towards andrew

he notices me and i lift my gun up. "the police are on the way,do you really want to kill me?" he asks

"you didn't protect her like i told you too" i say putting my phone on the trigger

"i tried. i swear. it was too late,he did it so quick" he say shakily

"get in the van" i say

he quickly walks past me and i follow behind him as we make our way to the van. "where's her body?" i ask

"in the spot it was...why?"

"take me up there" i say

"are you sure about that? it's bad. like horrible" andrew say

"you don't need to see that billie" monroe comments

"i want to fucking see her"

"no" andrew say simply

the sound of police sirens get's closer and closer along with ambulances. i watch as they all get here one by one heading into the building.
