I run down the street, as fast as I can while still looking back bahind me, trying to ignore the pain. My feet are hard against the ground and my running is heavy in the dim lighting on the street. The lights are foggy and the air is full of mist and rain. Sirens echo but the street is empty. So seems the convenience store. I hurry to the back of it and to the back door.
"Oh my god." I would recognize that voice at any moment. Lin. "Niamh!" I turn back around to him. "Niamh, they left you in that home? Are you okay?" I don't move. I just stare.

Lin's POV
Niamh is shivering. Blood runs down her face. A bruise rests under her eyes. Her hair is soaked and her clothing is ripped. Tears rest in her cheeks and marks of fingers on her neck.
"You need a hospital." I tell her. She violently shakes her head, crying. "Niamh, you're hurt. Badly. Let's at least get you to the theater or something." I don't wait but I pick up so her legs wrap around my waist and her head rests on my shoulder. I feel her small body tremble and her sobs she is clearly fighting.
"Lin!" Someone yells just outside of the theater. "Who is that?" He yells. I rush into the theater and to the back near the dressing rooms.
"Niamh!" Pippa yells. Renée follows me along with her and Daveed.
"What happened?" He asks. I set her down on a couch in the room with Leslie and Jonathan who shoot uo off of the couch immediately.
"They didn't take her out of the fucking home!" Says Renée, angry.
"Get some water, please. And food. Niamh, we need to go to the hospital."
"He. He. Works there."
"The one who did this?" She nods. "I'll be okay." I look at Phillipa who doesn't know what to do. "The emergency room?" She nods. "Right now?" She nods again. I push the hair from her face and examine it and Phillipa gets some water from the sink on a napkin and Renée sets a glass down.
"How about a doctor in the morning?" Daveed says.
"I'll call Jacob to watch her."
"We have to get ready." Leslie says. "I hate to leave her but none of us are dressed. And we do have to leave her in the room alone.
