Chapter 85

I scream as the bullets continue to pour in! The windows and furniture are being ripped to shreds by the barrage of shots from the front door.

I continue to scream but can’t move! I’m paralyzed with fear. The bullets won’t stop flying in!

It feels like there’s no end to this nightmare!

“Sam, crawl towards me! Now!”

I see LeAnn standing, returning fire towards the front door, when our intruder stops firing.

I inhale and exhale deeply. I have to move!

Slowly crawling towards her, I cover my head. The suitcase with her knives is near me. I grab it and finish crawling to her. The only things I can see in front of me are smoke and feathers from the now-totaled sofas.

More gunfire erupts above our heads!

LeAnn ducks and pulls the gun out from underneath an end table. We are both crouching behind the sofa.

“Take this! Remember how I showed you to use it!” I nod at her, take a deep breath, and grab it, covering my head.
