I opened my eyes and tried to prop myself up on my shoulders. I instantly felt a sharp pain in the back of my head where I must've hit the ground. I rolled over on my stomach and slowly got up that way. I look up and see Tay in a chair staring at me with a blank stare,"good morning sleepy head can we go now or do you need to take another 2 hour nap?"
"Was I really put that long?" I rub the back of my head and feel a knot on my head and can feel it pulsing. We get up and Tay leads the way out the door and I limp behind her. When we walk out we see a woman lying on the floor with a small hole in the side of her head. Taylor gasps and looks back at me. I walk over to the body and examine the wound.
"She was shot in the head with some kind of gun but I've never seen a gun that can make that clean of a slice". I say. I get up and we walk to the elevator and leave the silence of floor 26.
We get to the lobby and see tons of people at the front desk demanding they see there loved ones. We walk out and get in Tays car and drive back to school.
We get back to school and the parking lot is empty
"Where's your car?" Tay says.
"Oh I uh don't have one I can't really afford it" I say and look down at my feet.
"You live in Central though how in the world... , anyways I can give you a ride back it's really no big de-" I cut her off.
"It's fine I can walk, be careful though I have a bad feeling about what happened earlier..."
