A noise...

From the second floor...

That is getting clearer...

(A bark? There was no dog on the upper floor... Or, there was. One of them might have smelt me so now it is chasing me?!)

I look around and find a room to hide myself.
I enter in, and it's absolutely not the same as where I was earlier! First, it's enlightened, cleaner, there are windows... Anyway it's much better than the other one.

(Maybe I should stay here and try to find something that could help me to escape...)

I lock myself in the room and rummage through the shelves, closets and wardrobes for around thirty minutes.
I find a pendant... With my name on it? And it has the same color as my necklace, so I think it's mine.

I continue to search and find a gun.
It'll be useful if there are henchmen, other dogs, or something else. There is a clock on the wall it's half past five... I must leave before six o'clock!

I go out of the room and apparently, everything's ok... I go down the stairs so now I'm on the ground floor, hidden behind a wall.

(Wooow, why all those people?! It wasn't supposed to go like that!)

There are like twenty people who are talking and I seriously doubt that they will leave...

(My gun... No.)

(Isn't it Ashley over there?! Oh, yes, it's her!)

(Ashley! Pleeease notice me!)

She's coming to me, discreetly.

(What a luck!)

Ashley :
   Are you serious, it's twenty to six in the morning and you're still here?!

Me :
   Who are they? Henchmen? There's a mistake. You know they compromise my chances to escape safe and sound.

Ashley :
   That's what we call occupational hazards my friend.

  Ashley? Ashley, where are you!

A tall man appears on the other side of the wall.

Ashley :
   Oh! I told you to wait, I wasn't taking a long time...

He slaps her face.

Me :
   Hey~

He points his gun to my face...

... :
   Don't try to act like a hero. At least, not with me.

Me :
   Who are you?!

... :
   Your killer...

(My gun...)

I shoot in his thigh and take his weapon at the same time. Behind the wall I try to shoot all the other ones and start to run to the exit door...

(Oww!! It's so painful...)

I'm out, I see a car so I break the window and try to light up the engine...

  JOSHUA!

  WAIT !!

Ashley runs to the car and sit in it.

I accelerate and finally we can escape.

But...
