I Will Catch You

The woman closed the door behind her and turned to face Katherine and the young man. Raising her hands in front of her, she slowly walked forward.

"Stay where you are," the young man said, still pointing the gun forward.

"Okay okay… I'm staying here. Just lower your gun. Here, I'll throw mine away, see?" The woman threw her handgun on the floor and kicked it to the side.

Katherine could sense the young man's breathing becoming heavy as he lowered his hand slowly. He snaked his hand around to hold Katherine's arm as though he was making sure she was safely covered.

"You're trying to get her out of here, right?" The woman slowly stepped towards them. "That window is quite high up the ground. She will need your help."
