He puts the gun back in his holster.
"Anyone else try and pull that on her and I'll kill you!" Sam yells to everyone else in the room. "Ya hear me?"
I look around and see everybody's heads slowly nodding. I smile at Sam and mouth the word "thanks" to him. I walk away from him to try and find an exit. As much as I want to stay under his protection, I still don't completely trust him. He has a gun, I don't think I ever will be able to.
"Hey, hey wait!" He catches up to me. "Where are you going? I just saved your life!"
I close my eyes for a second to gather my thoughts. "I know, I know. Again, thank you, but I can't stay here! If you hadn't of intervened, I would be dead right now. Dead."
"But I did intervene." He gently places his hand on my arm. "I was there to protect you, and I plan to keep doing that until I know you're safe. Please, let me."
I look down at his hand on my arm. He quickly sets his arm back down at his side.
"Just help me get out of here. Then you won't have to worry about me anymore."
By this time everybody is back to their normal conversations, like nothing happened.
He doesn't respond at first. "Ya, fine. Deal."
"Good. Now, where to?"
