Saving Tyler James

Chapter 1: Presentation Day.

Kim's Pov:

I stood on the roof of the building, that was across from the presentation that was being held today. I had all my equipment set. My binoculars, sniper gun, hand guns, parachute, grappling hook, climbing rope and pocket knives. Once I knew I had everything set, I grabbed my binoculars and looked around the crowd for anything or anyone suspicious and unusual.

I then notice something odd. Four. No. Six guys in black suits with ski masks and weapons passing through the crowd and are heading towards Tyler.

So, I immediately grab my parachute, put it on, then jump off the 46 foot tall building. After landing safely on the ground, I immediately take off my parachute, grab my handgun, and run off into the chaotic crowd.

Tyler's pov:

"Hey, Ty! Ty! Tyler! Wake Up!" My best friend/body guard Josh screams at me.

I groan. "Be quiet! I'm trying to sleep here! "

"Come on Tyler. Today's the day!"

"For what!?"

"For your presentation!"

I sit up and raise an eyebrow. Giving him a look of confusion.

"Your invention!? Remember? Your new machine? That you, Tyler James, built?"

I just stared at him clueless, while blinking once in a while.

"Huh?"

"Ugh. For crying out loud! It's your machine that can levitate heavy things, remember?"

I thought for a while until it finally clicked.

"Oh, yeah. I remember. It's my Tylinator!"

"Yeah, that's it and really? The Tylinator? You should probably think of another name, don't you think? And hurry up cuz you have to be there by 10:45. And it's.... Oh shoot! It's 10:15, so hurry!"

"Okay, Okay! I'm going!"

I then rush to the restroom. Take a 5 minute shower and get my clothes, which are a black T, some dark jeans, and my black converse. How classy and professional eh? Then I quickly change. By the time I'm done changing, I open the door to see Josh pacing around the room like a crazy person. If he doesn't stop he'll make a hole in the floor and fall through it. I then decide to get his attention by clearing my throat. He immediately stops and looks up at me in total surprise.

"Woah. You're fast. And really? You're wearing that!? How professional?!"

"Yeah. I know right. Classic me. Okay, so let's get going!"

I then grab my jacket, phone, note cards, a bag of, the delicious and heavenly and did I mention cheesy!, Doritos and a chocolate muffin, don't judge!, and keys then leave the apartment for the big presentation.

I finally arrive at the presentation and immediately start to reread my note cards and practice my speech. While I'm waiting for the mayor to present me onto the stage, I turn around to Josh and give him the "manly hug".

"Thanks bro. I couldn't have done this without you."

"No problem man. What are best bro's for?"

I nod, then head onto the stage after the mayor calls my name. I shake his hand and proceed onto the stage and get behind the podium.

"Hello, and good morning everyone. My name is Tyler James and I am here to present to you my new invention. The Levitator!" I yell as some engineers bring it out, so everyone can see.

"What does it do? You may ask. Well, this machine can carry things up to 850 pounds. Cool huh? Okay then, now let's test this baby out, shall we?" Just as I was about to switch it on I hear gun shots and screaming. Before I can know what is happening I am tackled down and am dragged behind the podium, by no one other than Josh.

I'm too shocked to even hear what Josh is telling me. It's like I'm dreaming or in some kind of trance. I see his lips moving but I don't hear anything. Until he shakes me wildly almost breaking my shoulders.

"Hey, Ty! Ty! I need you to listen to me! We need to get you out of here it's dangerous! I need you to listen clearly and follow my instructions, okay?" I just nod. Not knowing what to say or do.

"Okay. I'm going to check if it's clear so that we can escape and get you somewhere safe. I need you to stay here for the mean time and once it's clear I'll come back and get you. Okay? "

"Okay." I mutter.

He then starts running toward the other side of the building with his hand gun in point, slowly, keeping watch on what's going on around. He then makes it across and starts coming back to get me. Just as he's about 10 feet away from me I see someone stand in front of me with their gun pointing right at my forehead. I nervously and visibly gulp feeling frightened. I thought I would've peed my pants by now. I then hear Josh scream at the guy, to get his attention, in which he succeeds since he turns around.

What happens next is the most unbelievable and most shocking thing that I have ever seen. It's as if everything happened in slow motion.

After the guy turns around he points his gun at Josh and starts walking forward, while Josh raises his gun at the guy. Josh then shoots the guy while the guy shoots Josh as well. In a matter of seconds they're both on the ground, in pain, slowly dying until they remain motionless. I just stayed in my spot frozen and in total shock at the scene that unfolded before me. My best friend just gave up his life. For me. I thought as sadness and depression started to makes its way out. I try to fight it and decide to get up and leave.

Just as I am about to leave from the scene, I feel a pair of arms grab me and drag me away. I don't pay attention to who's dragging me. Apparently I don't care who it is as long as they get me away from this horrible scene. A tear escapes my eye as I stare at Josh's limb body.

Man, today might be the worst day ever! First, I woke up late, which I always do so it's no biggy. Second, I lost my best friend/body guard/brother from another mother. Then my Doritos. My Doritos! Fell all over the truck's back seat! *cries to self inside*. Again. The. Worst. Day. Ever.

So what do you guys think? What do think about
