Chapter 3


Jennifer just stood there, not making a peep. She didn't want him to get mad, and instead of shooting the air, shoot her.
"Jennifer," Nick said, reaching his hand out to hers.
Jennifer reached hers towards him, and then he pulled the gun to her head.
"Don't move, don't peep, just stand." Paul said.
Nick watched him have a gun to her head.
"Oh my gosh!" someone screamed from behind them.
"Get!" Paul screamed, getting the gun and shooting the air.
"Ahhhh!" They screamed, and ran off.
"What do you want? What do you want me to do?" Nick asked.
"I want you to be quiet." Paul said.
"What can I do for you to put the gun away?" Nick asked. "Name it."
"Be quiet!" Paul screamed.
"What can I do?" Nick yelled. "What?"
"If you don't be quiet, I will shoot!" Paul hollored.
"You'll never get away with it." Jennifer said, getting courage to speak.
"Oh? Really?" Paul asked. "What makes you think that?"
"There's 4 witnesses right there." Jennifer said, pointing at the guys.
"So? I could kill them all." Paul said, feeling proud that he out-witted her.
"The girl. The girl that screamed. She's a witness. You have no clue where she is now. She could be calling the police, or she could be trying to get as far away from this mall as possible. But, I promise you, you will not get away with this." Jennifer said.
"What makes you so sure?" Paul said.
"What I just said." Jennifer said, straighting her back.
"Be quiet," Paul said, holding the gun tightly to her neck now. "Just be quiet."
Jennifer took a deep breath in, and did what she thought was her last chance, took her hand, jerked it forward, and slammed it back, slamming her elbow into his stomach.
He abruptly let go of her, and she started to run.
"Run!" Jennifer yelled at them.
"Not without you!" Nick screamed.
"Go!" Jennifer hollored.
"No!" Nick screamed.
The guy was still clenching his stomach, so Jennifer ran towards Nick.
"Let's go!" Jennifer yelled.
Paul suddenly stood up, pointed the gun and Jennifer, and shot.
"Ahhh!" Jennifer hollored, falling straight to the ground.
"Jennifer?" Nick asked, not knowing what just happened.
He looked at the ground, she was shot in the back. Nick looked at where Paul used to be, and he was gone.
"You'll never get away with this!" Nick screamed.
Suddenly, over the intercom, Nick heard this: "You aren't so sure anymore, are you?"
