-BOOM!-

A huge explosion bursts out on the 2nd floor and shook the entire building and much of the school area, which startled 3 security guards; Sawyer, Kent, and Beth, who were guarding the main gate to the school were startled by the huge bang.

"What was that!?!" asked Sawyer as they quickly stood up from their seats!

"An explosion! It came from the 2nd floor! Beth! Call the police right now! Kent and I will see if there is anyone over there!" he ordered the two other guards

"Yes, sir!" both Beth and Sawyer said and Beth scurried off to the telephone booth, which was located less than a hundred meters away from the grounds, while Kent and Sawyer rushed to the 2nd floor.

5:44 PM

When they got there, they discovered that the entire classroom is being decimated and the gash was sticking out at the opposite direction of the school building and fires began erupting from the gas lines and from the combusted propane tanks and wooden shelves and chairs are burning. Smoke starts billowing out from the door and out through the windows that were shattered by the explosive shockwave. There, stood by in front of them is Principal Kent Allen and Vice Principal Silica Fairbanks, both held their hands and they appeared to be not moving. Then Kent and Sawyer immediately knew why. Not just the pool of blood that has been present, there are damages to their bodies.

"Oh my god! Look at their backs!" cried Kent. "They got impaled! There are wooden and metal shrapnel all over their backs!" cried Sawyer as well. They were shocked by the extent of the explosion and were devastated by the deaths of the principal and the vice principal. It took them several seconds before Kent realizes that the site around Class 3-3 is now becoming potentially dangerous and he hastily told Sawyer to evacuate the building immediately, but Sawyer refuses, saying that he cannot leave them behind.

"We can't leave them here! The fire will burn out their bodies alive!" said Sawyer quickly and still, in a state of shock.

Without any hesitation and without thinking twice, Kent quickly decided to carry the bodies away from Class 3-3, from up to 10 meters away, right next to the stairwell, while the two dead bodies had their hands still attached to each other, only now, their bodies slump and they detached from each other. Kent and Sawyer finally decided to face the reality that Zayn and Silica are actually... dead.

5:51 PM

7 minutes later, firefighters, ambulances and police arrived on the scene. They were only a bit surprised, but they are already prepared. Beth, Kent, and Sawyer rushed to the New Haven Police Chief Kyle Rodgers, and they quickly explained to him about the situation...

"What's going on!" asked Kyle. "There are two people over there, sir! They're NOT MOVING but they... THEY ARE ALL IMPALED!" cried Kent while they all panted, out of breath.

Kyle was a bit surprised and almost immediately, he radioed on his walkie-talkie:

"Paramedics! EMT's! Prepare the stretcher! Head to the 2nd floor, immediately!" he said loudly.

As the danger of the situation becomes apparent, several police forces, armed with M4 carbines, shotguns, batons, pistols and even officers equipped with sniper rifles and SWAT teams with SMG's and high-powered assault rifles, equipped with telescopic, electrical optic sights, and grenade launchers, surrounded the area by up to a mile and a half radius with the assistance of police helicopters to prevent any suspects from escaping. Meanwhile, the fire crews began to take action.
