Just as you were evacuating the platform, you looked down to your injured commander in chief. He looked to you with almost desperation in his eyes. Then he groaned in pain, before giving you a strict order.

"Ta-take my dau-daughter, get her out of here." He pleaded, as you looked to the blood pouring from his shoulder.

You nodded, remaining your professional manner and sealing the promise. You knew that the shot hadn't been definitely life threatening and the medics had rushed to his attention.

However, when you turned back to Lauren, your heart sunk. She was in a state of shock, and was frozen on the spot, tears streaming down her face.

Then, she started to panic before scrambling to sit by her fathers side.

"Dad!- NO! Dad!" She screamed, tears falling from her eyes.

"Lauren, we have to get you out of here." You practically ordered, but in a calm tone, trying to maintain her safety.

You wrapped your arms around her body and lifted her up, trying to carry her away from the scene of the incident. The crowd beneath you were screaming out in panic and trying to run anywhere that was safe, but Lauren stayed focused on her father.

"Get the hell off of me!" She exclaimed in panic, trying to struggle out of your embrace. "M-mom!"

Clara was panicking like crazy, trying her best to hold her husband in her arms. However, various security agents rushed to her side and attempted to escort her away too.

"Lauren, please! We have to go, the shooter, you're a target." You spoke, holding her as she wriggled in your embrace, then realization of what you had just told her had set in.

She froze in your arms and cried out once more, hitting your chest in frustration, then stopped completely. The brunette looked up to you with her tearful emerald eyes, a look of almost helplessness on her face and she stopped attacking you.

After safely, but quickly, escorting her out of one of the secret exits, you led her to your waiting vehicle. The protocol in these situations were clear, evacuate the area, keep your 'client' safe and wait for further instruction.

So, you placed your hand on the small of her back and listened to your colleague through your ear piece.

"Agent Y/l/n, there's a safe house just out of town, the directions are installed in the car's GPS system. The First Lady will also be taken to a separate destination and the President is being transferred to a secure medical unit." He informed and you answered with a quick "copy that."

Then, you opened the passenger door for the woman and ushered her into the car, before rushing to the drivers side. You jumped into the seat and pushed the start button of the lavish undercover vehicle.

"Please put your seatbelt on Miss Jauregui." You said, watching as she frantically reached for it and you activated the GPS system.

Within seconds, you both had your seat belts fastened and you pressed down on the gas pedal. You didn't look back as you sped towards the exit of the White House grounds, just thinking about everything that had happened in the short amount of time.

You kept your focus on the road, however, heard Lauren's breathing become rapid. She was in shock after everything that had just happened. After all, she had seen her father being shot, her mother in a state of shock and was now being taken away from her family.

You looked back through the rear view mirror, realizing that it was safe to slow down a little and that you were not being followed. So, you pulled the range rover into a side alley and turned your attention to the anxious girl.

"Miss Jauregui, breathe." You tried with a soft tone.

Only being 5 years older than the woman, you didn't want to patronize her, but you were also there to maintain her welfare.

"That's it, breathe in and out. Nice and slowly." You added, watching as she tried to calm down.

"H-he go-got sh-shot." She whispered between breaths; your heart almost sank at how heartbroken she sounded.

"I know Lauren, but he's in capable hands okay? He is being taken care of and looked after."..."Now, I need to look after you, so we have to go." You replied, starting the engine again.

"Wh-where are we going?" She quizzed.

"To a safe house, until I get the next orders, your family have been separated for protection reasons... its not safe for you all to be together." you informed, feeling sympathy for her. "I'm going to keep you safe..."

You heard her sniffles, then she looked to you with her emerald gaze once more. "Y-you pr-promise?"

"I promise."
