Sound From the Crowd

Chapter Twelve

Bay was sitting on the floor in a corner clutching his ankle with one hand and holding his gun up in front of him with the other. I cocked my gun, held it in front of me and ran through the chaos to him. Then I heard a scream and I looked behind me. The young black haired boy, the one who had screamed fell to the ground. "NICK!" Bay yelled. He tried to get up to run to him but I didn't let him. "Stay here," I said sternly, "I found a room that's pretty safe-looking, I'll take him there." Bay sat down. He looked calmer but still worried. I ran back out into the fight where the older girl had just taken out the man who shot the boy, Nick. I scooped him up and he groaned. Keeping to the walls I ran him to the room where Erica was standing, looking through the small window in the door. She opened the door when she saw me and I slipped in. "Lock the door," I said urgently. Erica did and I carefully lowered Nick onto a bench. "Can you do anything?" I asked, "I think so," Erica said already looking him over, "We're going to have to find and infirmary or something soon though." She said taking a magazine and ripping out some pages. I ran out the door. The older girl looked at me with a pleading expression. She was cornered by a guard and her gun was all the way across the room. I aimed at the large man, and fired. He fell to the ground. I had taken self defense classes back in L.A. Just in case someone DID attack me. I was head of the class when it came to shooting. Bay slowly pulled himself up and, dragging his injured leg behind him, slowly made his way to the door to the room Nick and Erica were in. "Is he okay?" The girl said. "Yes but we have to find an infirmary soon," I replied. "We passed one when we ran here," She said, relief in her voice. "What should we do with him?" Bay asked pointing a thumb at David. "Leave him, he did shoot his son and made one of HIS guards shoot his other son." The girl said. "Wait, I'm confused," I said looking from Bay to the girl and back again. "I'll explain everything when we get to the infirmary," Bay said as if he had suddenly remembered that I had absolutely NO CLUE what was going on. "Okay, let's go." I said eager to find out what the heck was going on.
