*Bang*

Like the shot heard around the world, the shot was still vibrating through the warehouse. Matt sprang out of the couch to fall onto his hands and knees in front of someone who was a couple of feet away. The icepack which layed on his forehead now lay next to his right knee, shaking his head to clear his mind matt looked at the stranger. Standing in his view was a six foot man with a scowl on his face and a shotgun in his hands raised and aimed at matt.

Slowly moving the gun closer to Matt's face he said, "Prick get ya ass up, its bout two in the afternoon. Waistin daylight." He shoved Matt off balance then retracted to walk over to the door.

Still on the floor sat matt with the most quizzical expression on his face, he couldn't remember anything from the day before but he somehow woke up in a warehouse with a gun to his face. Then in a flash the memories came flooding into his brain, his grandfather beating him and getting shoved into the trunk. Then he remembered getting thrown out of the trunk to face plant on pavement. Deciding to figure out how he ended up here, he pushed to his feet kicking aside the icepack and shoving the blanket off his back. Walking over slowly still trying to regain his balance and consciousness he made it to the door to open the door. He could here the muffled sounds of bullets firing from a barrel and the aroma of gun fire seeping through the crack in the door. Through the crack matt peeped on the men he considered just guards for his grandfather but now he saw them for what they were.

Standing aligned in a row all facing toward each of their targets, the small room reverberated the loud ring of the guns. The weapons in their hands ranged from machine guns to simple shotguns. Collecting any sort of bravery he possessed matt pushed the door open to walk through. Before his foot crossed over the threshold all eight men turned in one swift motion with their weapons pointed squarely on Matt.

Doing the most instinctive move he knew from watching so many films Matt raised both his hands up and sank to his knees. This exchange happened in a matter of seconds but just as quickly it started with one man laughing still with his weapon held high then they all joined in.

They all exchanged looks when a moment of silence descended before they started laughing all over again, "That made my day right there." One of the men said while lowering his weapon which was the signal the rest needed. Looking up finally after the fear subsided Matt saw most of the men hunched over laughing while the others looked at him like he was an idiot. Feeling embarrassed and humiliated Matt quickly went to his feet and crossed his arms over his chest.

"That wasn't funny." He argued......
