Chapter 8

Jimmy gripped her arm and dragged her into the bathroom, pushing her into the tub he crept out the door softly clicking it shut behind him.

Just then he heard pieces of glasses crunch under heavy boots and the distinctive sound of a gun barrel being drawn back and snapped shut.

“Wtf? I definitely don’t like the sound of that” though Jimmy as his eyes dashed around the room looking for a place to hide. A rust old wrought iron desk stood against the wall under the window against which Jimmy now crouched.
