Chapter Eleven: "Memphis Pyramid, here we come!"

Once on the road Briana got a text from 50: Go to the Memphis Pyramid. Briana told Tobi and he nodded. Briana then started to think. Why did this guy kill my family? Is it somebody I know? Will they go after my friends? Well, he or she already has. This guy might also have friends hunting me. The guy at the restaurant had a beard, but the guy in the Cadillac didn't. In fact, that guy looked younger that the other. Well great, he has friends. "Briana? Hello? Anybody home?" Ethan said, tapping her on the shoulder. "Hmm?" Briana asked. "We're almost to Memphis Pyramid. Let's stay on guard. Let's not have this end up like Atlanta." Tobi informed them cautiously. As they got out of the Explorer, she got a bad feeling. She shrugged it of as paranoia. They waited for about a half a minute before a bullet wooshed past the group and hit the ground. They all ran for cover. "Anyone see him?!" Briana yelled at the others. "No...Wait! Yeah! He's a sniper, roof of the second building to the right." Tobi said. Briana looked at the sniper. He didn't have a beard like the man in the restaurant and he certainly didn't look like the Cadillac guy. Briana must have stuck he hand out a little to far because she felt a stinging pain go up her arm. When she looked at it, it was gushing blood. She knew what to do. She put pressure on it even though it hurt like hell. "I got shot!" Briana yelled. "Briana's hit!!" Tobi shouted over sniper blasts. They all looked at each other and nodded. The car is about 100 meters away from us, and it doesn't help that this guy is a great shot with a sniper. Even if we do getaway, he'll just shoot our tires out. Briana thought to herself. Then, she got an idea. "Tobi" Briana yelled, "distract the sniper, I'm gonna get Ethan and May to the car!". " No! Let me do it! If he sees you leaving, he'll shoot at you, and maybe even kill you and maybe shoot at the others!!" Tobi shouted. Briana gave him a thumbs up with a blood covered hand. Tobi, Ethan, and May ran for the car. Briana then ran back and forth between cover to distract the sniper. The car pulled up beside Briana a minute later. As soon as Briana was in, the car sped off, going in a slight zig zag to avoid getting their tires shot. Ethan grabbed Briana's other shirt and ripped it in half. "Hope you didn't like that shirt!" Ethan yelled. He then took the two pieces and made a X on her wound, and tied it with duct tape. "There, that should stop the bleeding and put pressure on the wound." He said. "When did you become a medic?" Briana asked jokingly. Ethan smiled and went to work on his computer. Well, I have my first wound. Briana thought. Well, I wonder where 50 will take us next? Briana thought.
