Using her friendly (or not-so-friendly) greeting as always, Evangeline asked if the bandits could shoot her. Walking into the classroom for mistaking for the other class, Iris immediately covered Evangeline's mouth from making any further comments or questions.

Shinkai, who was initially shocked from taking in what had happened (like the other classmates), stood up and observed the thieves while they were trying to get Evangeline off them.

Overwhelmed and mentally unstable, poor Evangeline passed out from this extreme turn of events. Deciding to drag her out the door for safety reasons, Allison and Jahnavi hoisted Evangeline onto their shoulders and started to march toward the doorway. But immediately, the thieves threatened them once again that they would kill everyone if any of them moved. Thinking and calming the suicidal Evangeline, Allison, Jahnavi, and Iris decided to fight the burglars.

"Let us have a wrestling game," said Allison.

"If we win, you must drop your guns," Jahnavi demanded.

Laughing like maniacs, the thieves exclaimed, "HOW COULD WE LOSE TO A LITTLE GIRL??!!"

Smirking behind, Iris handed two empty Coke bottle cans from Baxter's Zuca to Allison.

"HEYY–!" cried Baxter.

"Just leave them be," exclaimed the rest of the class.

"You must squish up the bottle with your hands as much as you can," explained Jahnavi and Allison.

"Pfft, of course! We don't need you to tell us," snorted the thieves.

"But are you sure you can do it? Without extra supplies?" questioned Iris, who was taking care of Evangeline by the side while glancing at the boys who were on the other side, panicking but in awe. The teacher, whose face was pale, tried to dial the police, but the other thief placed his gun on her throat.
