He was looking at a man with a gun. The gun pointed at my dad. I knew the guy from somewhere. I couldn't think where. I was too scared. Shawn could see as he grabbed me and held me from the side. My brother snapped his mouth shut and my mom was begging the guy to not shoot.
    
"Why?" He asked in a gravely voice. I knew that voice anywhere- Mr.O'Thomas, he worked with my dad.
     
"No," my mom sobbed. "Please. You can do anything just don't-"
     
The gun went off. I didn't know where. I just fell out of my chair and was laying on the ground facing the ceiling. Shawn was beside me begging me to stay with him. I didn't know what was happening. Everything went black.
