i fall on the ground breath heavy face stained in tears. knuckles busted and bloody. the building goes silent. i stand and begin dusting myself off. immediately falling back to the floor at the sound of footsteps coming through the broken door into my abandoned building. i crawl over to my jacket with the pistol in the pocket, make sure its loaded but before i could get back up i see s figure standing in the doorway out of the corner of my eye. the candle lit room is to dim for me to see his face but i know that figure anywhere. "put the gun down" his deep unforgettable voice ushers.  why would he be hare? how does he even know about this place?? "Ryan what are you...?" before i can finish my question a almost deafening bang slices through the air. "i gave you one warning shot. you will not get another one. i said put the gun down!" i can tell he is yelling but i can hardly hear him with the ear splitting echo still ringing in my head. i slide the 9 mm over to the corner of the room in which i was just sobbing in. i begin to stand but am quickly brought back to my knees with the flick on a wrist. i am immediately aware of my swollen belly. i reach to pick up my jacket in attempts to hide my secret. "can i put my jacket on?" i ask him. he runs his eyes down my body taking a double look at my belly, as if  knowing but not really believing. "your...are you...?" he ask eyes wide and face pale. he lets his arm fall dropping the weapon. realizing this is my chance i leap and slide cross the room. i grab my gun and fire. i get a perfect shot in the arm he was reaching for the gun with.
