Men and women were rushing towards the pub , Jack followed running through the crowd ,
when he reached the pub he saw flames coming out of the Windows upstairs and down, people had buckets of water from the beach but they weren't putting out any flames, Jack looked around for his father but he was nowhere to be seen,
there was only one thing he could do,
Go in and find him.
This was his chance to prove he was ready to be a man,
all his bully's would cower at his feet and beg for forgiveness when they find out about his heroic act,
"enough thinking Jack, this is your chance, let's go save father" he thought and started towards the pub when Anne took his arm "and what the bloody hell do Ye think you're doin?" She said to him,
"this is my home and
my father, he means everything to me and I'm not going to lose him!"
She let go of him lowering her head to his noble words,
"o'right but all the entrances are blocked by fire and rubble" she said,
"I need to check the back door then!" He said running around the back of the pub where the back door was,
he entered the building putting his shirt over his mouth and nose for the smoke burned his lungs.
"Father?! Where are you?!" He screamed whilst running into the main part of the pub where fire was crawling up the walls like spiders, hard to believe that only twenty minutes ago men were drinking and relaxing in here,
no one was in there and he was finding it hard to see due to the smoke, "he must be upstairs" Jack thought to himself,
he ran up the stairs with his eyes half shut because of the smoke, he almost tripped because of this but kept on going,
he looked in all the rooms upstairs even his own room and father was in his own..... A man in all black robes stood over him with pistol aimed at his head, Jack was frozen, he couldn't do anything, he wanted to run but he couldn't, the man pulled the trigger splashing blood over the floor.
Jack felt a tear drop from his eye, his heart tore in his chest then somehow Jack felt a great rush of anger and adrenaline flow over him like a cool breeze that shielded him from the heat and smoke,
he ran as fast as he could and threw himself into the man, knocking them both onto the ground screaming things he couldn't even make out himself he tried to get on top of the hooded man and remove the hood from his head but the man was fast to react and knocked him over the head with the handle of his pistol, and then darkness took over....
