I head into the lobby and wave goodbye to Helda. "Good morning dear! It's Saturday, where are you going so early in the morning? Traffics busy this early on Saturday mornings."

"I have some groceries to pick up and some errands to run. I'm probably going to hang out with Jenny for a bit and then go to work. I'll be home around 7." I wave goodbye and dial Jenny's number into my call log and let it ring.

"Hey are you doing anything today?" She giggles over the phone. "Yeah, I have my first date with Trent! Why what's up?"

"I was just going to ask if you could give me a ride to work and a ride to the grocery store, I don't have any extra money for a taxi or Uber." She yawns over the phone. "Yeah, what time do you have to be to work?" I quickly put her on speaker and look at my calendar. "About 30 minutes."

"Oh! I'm on my way now." She screams and hangs up. I sigh and turn my phone off and patiently wait on a bench outside of the hotel for Jenny. "Need a ride?" I turn my head towards the voice. "No L, Jenny is on her way. And I'm sure you have to get to work yourself." L smirks and laughs. "What's so funny?" I ask in confusion. "I quit that stupid coffee shop."

I laugh. "You've only have been working there for about two days though, and you quit already?" He nods. "Eh, it's too much. I go to school too you know." I raise an eyebrow. "What? You think I'm some gang member that dropped out in 5th grade?" I nod. "Yeah, kind of." He rolls his eyes. "Alright, I see how it is, Rebecca."

"Don't call me that," I say plainly. "Well then what would you like me to call you, princess?" I laugh. "Most certainly don't call me that." He smirks. "Hey, L? We've got a problem," Z says coming out from the back door of the hotel. "What is it?" I bite my nails. "Well um, we have a break in. It's Henry." I raise an eyebrow. "Who's Henry?" I ask. "Don't worry about that right now. I need you to come with us. You're not safe out here."

L takes me by my arm and drags me to some basement in the hotel. "You're safe here. Stay here, and stay quiet. Unless you want to die, then go ahead and scream at the top of your lungs." I bite my lip and unlock my phone and text Jenny to call me. "Hey, Jen." I sigh. "Hey, what's up?" Jenny says over the phone. "Can you go to the shop and tell Niall to tell my boss I am having a family emergency." "But Bec, you don't have any family? What's wrong?" I sigh. "Well, I don't know. But as I was waiting for you outside, L told me to get into this hiding spot and now I'm hiding from a guy named Henry and-"

I get interrupted by a startling bang from the door. "I've gotta go, Jen, bye!" I whisper and hang up. I look around the room to see if I can find a place to hide. I find a closet and quickly run into it and lock it. Inside the closet was dark. I use my phone light to find a bin and I hop inside of it quietly. Outside of the closet, I hear the door burst down. I hear at least two pairs of footsteps in the room, maybe more, carrying weapons. I hear guns loaded and the footsteps approach to the closet.

I gulp and hold my breath as they try and turn the doorknob. "WE KNOW SOMEONE'S IN HERE! UNLOCK THE DOOR AND WE WON'T HURT YOU!" I sit in silence and whimper to myself and after a few minutes, the door is kicked down. I hold my breath and wait for them to leave. The footsteps grow closer and I start whimpering more.

I start losing it as one of the men start to take the lid off of the bin I'm in. "HEY ASSHOLES!" Another voice says stepping into the room outside of the closet. One of the people open the lid and force me out and hold a gun to my throat and bring me forward towards L, the voice I heard, along with his gang behind him.

"Let her go." L says. I exhale deeply, trying not to cry, knowing I might die, right here, right now. "Give me what I payed for with extra and this will go as I planned. Unless you want this weak, poor girl to die right here. "Hand her over." L says getting angrier. "Or what you're going to kill me?" I look down by L's side and he's doing sign language. From what I can make out he's saying to bump my head into him. 'Okay' I respond getting ready to bang my head into his.

"Precisely." L said giving me my signal. I bang my head into Henry's and drop kick him. He falls to the floor and I run over to L and his gang members. "Do you know how to use this?" He says handing me a pistol. "A little bit." "I guess we're about to find out." Men that worked for Henry I assume came running down the stairs and the seven of us started shooting at them.

A few of my shots I missed but I hit a few people. The people fell and I continued to defend my self and the other 6 people with me.

"BECCA!" L yells. I look behind me and someone shot their gun at me. At that moment, life was in slow motion. I honestly thought my life was over. The slow motion moment ends and I end up getting shot in the shoulder. I fell to the ground. L takes out the rest of the guys and picks me up. After a few minutes of blood loss, I pass out.
