Laura POV:

Dan's facial expression is that of complete shock. He drops to his knees, placing his hands on his side near his ribs. The bullet must've just brushed him from the side. If the neighbors weren't awake before, they are now. 

"Dan!" I call out, not knowing why. There's nothing I can do. Dan looks me in the eyes. 

"Laura..." He starts, before collapsing. A towel wraps around my face. I pass out almost instantly.

I know I'm at Dutch's house, even though I've never been here. It smells like a little bit of ashes and a whole lot of booze. I'm laid down on a bed, not handcuffed or anything. The door to the room is closed, and probably locked. What happened to Dan? I feel a bump in the front pocket of my hoodie. I need to call someone for him, but I can't call someone with Dutch around. Who can I text? Drew, Ethan, Michael, Jenna, Kaylee, Maddy, and Mom are all in America. THey can't do anything. I look through my contacts. Dan's number is saved with a little smiley face emoji and a triangle. I wipe a tear thinking about him. Next to his name is Janna. Of course! Janna had put her number in my phone in case I needed anything. I hadn't ever texted her. 

Me: Hey Janna, this is Laura.

Janna: What on earth are you doing up at 4:00 AM?

Me: I need you to call the police

Janna: Holy shit what happened? Where are you?

Me: I'm at some guy's house. He knew my mom.

Janna: And where's Dan?

Me: He's at home. The guy who has me shot him.

Janna: I'm calling right now.

Me: Thank you

Janna: Hey, it's Kyle. Janna is calling right now. Stay calm.

Me: Thank you. I'll try.

Janna/Kyle: Do you know where you are?

Me: No, but I know his name. Dutch Mohler. It's his apartment.

Janna/Kyle: Okay. I'll tell Janna. One second.

- I get another text -

Dan: i'm not sure if you have your phone, but I'm fine.

Me: What?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!

Dan: The bullet didn't get me. I faked it. I had actually passed out from shock. The police are here.

Me: Janna is calling the cops as well

Dan: How are you talking to Janna?

Me: She gave me her number.

Dan: I see. Where are you? Dutch has you, doesn't he?

Me: Yes. His full name is Dutch Mohler. I'm at his apartment.

Dan: I'll tell the officer. 

Me: Thanks.

Dan: Has he hurt you?

Me: Not that I know of. I just woke up. 

Dan: He must've drugged you. 

Me: Wouldn't surprise me.
