We Made It

 

"On my count," Dominic said, his voice steady despite the chaos around them. "We sprint for the car. Stick to cover as much as possible. Ready?"

"What if you run there and get the car and then we get into it?" asked Kieran.

"Why don't I get there and drive out of here without you in it?" Dominic said in a sarcastic tone as Eve rolled her eyes.

"No fighting," Eve said. "Can we make it through?"

Dominic shrugged. "There's only one way to find out."

Eve and Kieran nodded, their eyes filled with determination. They braced themselves, their bodies tense, waiting for Dominic's signal.

"Now!" Dominic yelled, his voice cutting through the gunfire.

The three of them burst from their hiding spot, sprinting towards the car, zigzagging to make themselves harder targets. 

Bullets whizzed past them, narrowly missing their bodies as they dove behind the car for cover.
