Joseph's POV

I decided to get out of the house for once. I grabbed a dark grey leather jacket with black cloth sleeves that was hung on the my door knob along with some sunglasses that I had on a table near my bed before I started to head off. The sun was bright that day, giving me a slight headache in the process. Guess this is what happens when you only come out at night. I started heading towards a Starbucks near my place. I entered and it didn't seem busy. I look to my side and see both Erik and Anna on the other side talking. I quickly lower my head to cover my myself. I got to the counter. "Hey there, welcome to Starbucks. May I take your order?" He asked. "Um, I'll just get the Jabba Chip with coffee, that's all," I said in a tired voice. He looks at me. "Are you ok sir?" He asked. I look at him. "Oh um....... yeah, just haven't slept much," I said. "I see. Well, wait just a moment," he said getting the ingredients. I tried not to look at them, so they don't notice me. That's when I heard the door open, noticing some shaddy guy.

He had a somewhat messy beard, wore a New York Yankees cap and a light brown rugged jacket. And, for some reason, he always had his hand on his right pocket. I kept a close eye on him. He came next to me, and looked at the cashier. And it didn't look like a friendly look. "Um, what can I get you?" Asked the other cashier. "I would like a some black coffee, and one of your brownie," he said. "Alright anything else?" she asked. He looks at her. "Yeah....... All of your money," he said pulling a SP101 magnum revolver out of his pocket, pointing it at the cashier. I frowned and stood still, while the girl jumped and looked terrified. I turn to Anna and Erik and they seemed to have their attention on him, while everyone is on the ground, covering the back of their heads. "I said give me the damn-" he said before he looks at me. "Hey! Why aren't you going down?!" He said pointing the gun at me and pulling the hammer (look it up if you don't know what part of a gun this is), so the gun was ready to fire. I turn towards him. "I said-" he said before I interrupted him by covering the space between the revlover and the hammer, which meant he couldn't fire his revolver. He looked at me shocked. "You should know, when you grab a gun........ be ready to pull the trigger," I said before I gave him a headbump, which made me lose my sunglasses, not to mention making him take a few step backs.

I started giving a couple of punches. I landed some, but he manage to block the rest. Guess I'm getting sloppy. He then grabbed me by my hoodie and shot me on the lower part of my kidney. I grabbed the side of my wound and groaned in pain. I fall down in one knee and look at him. I hear Annaliz tell Erik to do something. "Well then kid. Like you said. Always be ready to shoot," he said aiming at my head. At this point, I sort of lost hope. But then, I saw something. Something in an instant. A flash of yellow and orange lightning. That's when everything went black.
