Devil's own luck

Page 4: Anguish

  Amy's Point of View:

I am still confused of what happened to Ethan, All I know is that his mother is dead and a man is trying to kill him, or something like that. I don't know why someone is trying to kill him, but hopefully I'll find out soon. I looked to my right to see that Ethan was fast asleep curled up in a ball shivering, I pulled out a blanket from my backpack and laid it over him. It was snowing so it was a little hard to see the road, but since there were little to no cars the roads were safe. 

30 minutes later:

I pulled into the apartment parking lot and started to gather my things when Ethan jolted awake and screamed "NO!" startled i swerved the car into the parking lot whilst stopping the car and said "What? What?" he replied with "Oh thank god it was just a dream." I felt my face get red and yelled "What the hell was that?! We could've crashed!" He looked at me eyes widened and said "II'm sorry, I didn't mean to." As I started to calm down I realized that Ethan seemed confused, "this is my apartment." I said flustered "You can crash here until we find you somewhere to live." Ethan smiled as we grabbed our bags and pushed out the car door. Because of the cold weather we rushed inside the apartment building, after we got inside the apartment Ethan noticed my extreme amounts of star wars related merchandise, I hadn't let anyone in my space because  "It's not much, but I have a couch, a T.V, there's food in the fridge and my cat "Jack" is around here somewhere." "You have a few choices when it comes to sleeping, you can sleep on the couch, I think I have a cot in my closet that you can sleep on or you can sleep with me in the room on the right, I really don't mind." His face got red as I explained the last choice. "The cot I'm guessing?" I inferred. "For now, yeah." he answered slightly embarrassed. As I walked over to the fridge, I heard the pitter patter of my cat running out of the bathroom, making a B-line to Ethan and rubbing against his leg. "So what's the story of getting Jake or was it Jack?" I said "I got him from my friend Aubrey who got so many cats that she had to give some away and I was one of the people that got one." "Don't worry he's a sweetheart, just make sure that you leave your shoes on that shelf above the window because he thinks that shoes are just a tiny toilet, I learned that the hard way." I said giving a playful smile. "So what would you like to eat? We have lasagna, tomato soup, fish tacos, some chicken pot pies. I could order a pizza?" Once I said that he quickly responded with "Ooh pizza sounds great!" "Pizza it is." I said picking up the phone. Once the pizza was on its way I started to fix his cot when I heard a knock at the door, "wow that was fast!" I said rushing to the door grabbing some money from my purse, but then I stopped in my tracks when I heard the door crash open and saw five policemen rushing into the room. "GET ON THE GROUND NOW!!!" I quickly fell to my knees when jack hissed and darted for the bedroom, I looked over at Ethan who was backed up against the wall when one of the policemen shot him with a taser, he fell to the ground spasming uncontrollably. After that I felt a sharp pain in my side as one of the cops shot me as well. The last thing I remember is passing out from the pain.

"There! Do you have the information you need!? We did nothing wrong."
