Boom!

The sound of an explosion broke the moment. Jace had to pull me down with him, shielding me with his body as the dust from the ceiling and in the storage crashed down on us.

I coughed, and he did, too.

Bang!

A bullet almost grazed my shoulder blades. Jace and I stared at each other before we were on our feet, running for the door. 

Once out in the hallway, several other tenants rushed past us, wanting to get away from the rain of bullets and the sudden assault.

The men had hidden their faces behind black masks. It was impossible to tell who they were.

And that follows that it would be difficult to trace who sent them and why they suddenly attacked this apartment complex.

I'm certain Seven was frowning somewhere if he was seeing this. Wizardo wasn't too happy about it, either. However, it was too late to change anything.

There was no rewind button, and the only way to get past this was to move forward.
