"No time for goodbye." Cody whispered, grabbing as many things as he could at once and stuffing them in his backpack. A loud crack had caused him to drop his handful of clothes and run towards the window. He looked between the scared girl and the thin door, nearly in pieces.
"Don't put your life in someone's hands, they're bound to steal it away. Don't hide your mistakes, cause they'll find you. Burn you." He grabbed the girl's shoulders, eliciting a small squeak to come from her, and studied her face for what may be the last time. "If you want to get out alive, run for your life."
He pried open the window, stopping to grab his bag and nod goodbye, before sprinting down the fire escape and into the desolate night.
He stopped in his tracks, watching the window in case she had decided to follow him. He was met with her soul piercing scream and a flashlight being shone a few inches near his foot. He didn't have time to sit and watch her.
Shay would be okay. She had to be.

"This is my last time." She hastily scribbled, wiping away the few stray tears. "It's hard to imagine, but One day you'll end up like me." She let her faze drift towards the arrary of items she had lain out, her eyes drifting to one in particular.
She traced the key with delicate fingers, remembering all of it's intricate details for one last time. She wrapped her fingers around it and made her way towards the rooftop, the note clutched tightly to her chest.
She ran through her head all of the possible scenarios that could unfold, who would find the note, what would happen to her family. It was, of course, better this way.
She grabbed a small rock -just heavy enough to make sure the wind wouldn't fly it away just yet- and stared out across the city. "If you want to get out alive," She muttered to herself and folded the note into a plane, walking ever so slowly to the edge.
She took a deep breath, smiled, and gently tossed the plane as she took her final step. "Run for your life." She had hoped the words he had once told her would find the same impact on whoever found the note, as they had on Her.

A piece of paper fluttered gracefully to a halt and landed on the front of Zach's newspaper, disrupting his current read.
He slowly opened it, nervous of what he might find. His eyes were drawn to the bottom of the page. "If I stay, it won't be long til I'm burning on the inside. If I go, I can only hope I make it to the other side."
A chill ran his body as he turned the note over, eyes scanning over the words multiple times. "If you want to get out alive, run for your life." He stared blankly at the note before folding it back up back and tossing it off into the distance.
He turned his head downwards once more, scanning the front page.
"WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE: CODY CARSON
CRIME: HOMICIDE OF DANIEL CLERMONT AND MAXX DANZIGER, ASSISTED IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SHAY PHOX.
SUBJECT MAY BE ARMED AND DANGEROUS. DO NOT APPROACH. CALL THE NEAREST AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY IF SEEN."
He sighed and packed up his things, heading in the opposite direction of the café. The plane was someone else's problem now.
