Coming to, Regina slowly opened her eyes to see Michael and Harry over her, she felt a cool rag on her forehead as well as Michael's hand.

"What's going on?" Regina drowsily asked.

"Miss I am so sorry, I thought you were someone else." Harry apologized.

"Are you alright?" Michael asked as he inspected the cut on Regina's forehead.

"I think so." Regina replied sitting up on the small couch.

"I'll be back I'm going to call Sam and see if he has the place set up." Harry said as he walked off to the telephone.

"I'm sorry about the accident, Harry can be a little paranoid sometimes." Michael explained.

"It's alright I'll be fine, what's going on are you guys leaving town or something?" Regina questioned.

"Yeah, it's kind of a long story." Michael started off.

In the back of the shop, a round of shots was fired, Harry dropped the telephone and ran back to the front of the store.

"Michael we've got company! We have to go now!" Harry warned as he grabbed a duffel bag and two other small bags.

"But where? We can't be out here in the open." Michael replied.

"I know a place where you can hide." Regina offered.

"Where?!" Harry exclaimed.

"Follow me." Regina responded as she led Harry and Michael to her car.

The three escaped just in time as two of Mr. Big's thugs set the shop on fire by using Molotov cocktails. The shop burned down within seconds as the two thugs escaped back into darkness, Harry looked back to see the shop being teased mercilessly with orange flames, he let out a sigh of distress as he thought of all the work he and Michael have done to get the shop up and running. But it was either the shop being burned or them, the shop had to take the fall.
