"Fuck!"  Kevin's heart pounded as Kyle, his personal bodyguard hovered over him, his chest pressing Kevin into the carpeted floor.  He tried to peek out behind Kyle's arms trying to see what was going on.  "AHHH!  Fuck, get down!"  "Shit what the hell!?!?"  "Whats going on!"  Kevin shouted to Kyle, trying to get out of his grasp.  "Stay down sir!"  Kyle warned.  "But-"  Where was Trinity?  She was just pushed down, out of the way.  Gunshots were circulating around them.  It was chaos.  Kevin had thought the lobby had been pretty empty when they first arrived, but he must have been wrong, because he heart tons of feet pattering around him.  "Ah Shit!"  Kevin gasped as he saw Kyle topple off of him and curl up into a little ball on the floor.  "Kyle!"  Kevin shouted, getting up.  He looked around shocked by the scene.  Three big guys wearing black holding machine guns were pressing the barrells to peoples head and pulling the triggers than moving onto others.  People were scattering around the lobby, a few already on the floor, hands hovered over their heads.  He saw the other five bodyguards pushing A.J., Brian, and Howie towards the emergency exit, their big bodies covering them. 

  "Kyle dude, are you alright?"  Kevin asked, but only recieved a grunt.  His eyes widened when he saw the wound Kyle bared.  A bullet had went right through his stomach and out the other side.  "Kev, get out of here man.  Follow the others, hurry."  Kyle said right before he passed out.  Kevin's heart bumped hard as he scanned around, hoping to spot Trinity.

  Angel looked around the lobby.  She had been saved by a runaway bullet by one of the boys' bodyguards.  He now lay below her feet, deader than day.  She didn't have time to think or mourn over the guy, she knew she needed to figure out what was going on and get out of there fast.  She couldn't seem to find anyone familiar in all of the chaos.  But when she did, she regretted it.  She rushed over to Donna, who laid up against the sofa the boys were sitting on not to long ago.  Blood was gushing out of her thigh like a river.  "Donna oh my gosh, are you alright???"  Donna opened her eyes, seeing Angel in front of her.  "Oh...Angel...I've never been so happy to see your face."  Donna said.  "Shh, don't talk.  Save your strength."  Angel took off her blouse, revealing a black tank top underneath and tied it tight around Donna's leg.  Donna screamed in pain as the blouse provided pressure on her wound.  "I'm sorry Donna, but that'll stop the bleeding.  Come on, I'm gonna help you out of here."  Angel told her.  Donna shook her heard from side to side, sweat pouring from her brow.  "No...No...Angel...I can't...please...the pain, it hurts too much.  Just leave me.."  "No!"  Angel shouted.

  Looking around quickly, she was just about to pick Donna up and walk her out of there when she felt the barrel of a machine gun being pressed against the back of her head.  "Hands up bitch."  Angel did as she was told.  "Now stand up, slowly"  Following the order, she stood.  "Don't turn around.  Thought we wouldn't find you?  Well we did.  Now we're gonna take you to Kane.  He's got plenty of beef with you dear."  Shit shit shit...she thought.  "MOVE!"  She let the figure behind her jab her back with the deadly machine gun making her move forward.  He was walking her towards the entrance of the hotel building.  She couldn't let this happen, she couldn't go meet Kane.  He would kill her.  She had to do something.  In a situation like this, there was only one thing that came to mind.  She quickly spun around, her booted foot in the air, and kicked the machine gun out of his hand.  The guy was shocked, so that gave her time to kick him swiftly in the head, making him fall to the ground.  She grabbed the machine gun quickly, and not thinking, pulled the trigger on the guy.  It sent bullets all over his body and he didn't even have time to scream before he died.  She felt a prescense behind her and turned around seeing another guy running towards her, ready to pull the trigger.  She pointed and shot the man down. 

  Not giving another glance, she ran back towards Donna, just when another figure popped up in front of her.  She almost pulled the trigger when she saw it was Kevin.  "Kevin, jesus christ!  I almost killed you!"  "What's going on Trinity??  What's happening?"  "I'm not sure."  She told him, as she pushed past him, heading back towards Donna, attempting to steer clear from any of the shooting bullets and men she assumed now were looking for her.  Kevin stayed close behind her, following her steps avoiding getting killed.  "Where's everyone else?"  Angel called back to him.  "I saw A.J., Howie and Brian being rushed out towards one of the exits.  I assume they got out safely."  Kevin told her.  "What about Nick?"  She wondered.  "I don't know, I haven't seen him.  I'm pretty sure he got out though."  Kevin gasped when they approached Donna.  "Oh my god, Donna!  Are you alright?!!"  Donna looked up at him, pain coming out of her eyes.  "I've been shot, do I look ALRIGHT!!?!"  She shouted.  "Here Kev, hold this."  Angel ordered, stuffing the machine gun in his arms as she bent down in front of Donna.  Kevin just looked at her and than back at the weapon with wide eyes.  Fumbling a few times with the dangerous firearm. 

  "Here's the safety, you release that when you want to shoot, and this is the trigger, you pull that to shoot.  Put the safety back when you don't want to shoot."  (A.N. I don't know much about guns, so I don't know if a machine gun has a safety release, just bear with me.) Angel quickly explained.  Angel than grabbed Donna by the shoulders and the best she could without hurting her, put Donna over her shoulders than slowly stood up.  "What the FUCK ARE YOU DOING ANGEL!!!!!"  Donna shouted in incredible pain."  "I'm walking you out of here Donna."  She told her, wondering if Kevin caught the *Angel* thing.  But at the moment it didn't matter anyway, that was the least of her problems.  She turned to Kevin.  Kevin was surprised at Trinity's strength, as she held Donna up with ease, no strain coming from her.  "I need you to back us up alright.  We're gonna walk out of here, but we need to be quick."  Kevin just nodded, his shoulders shaking.  "Hey, it's gonna be okay.  Just do what I told you and you'll be fine."  Angel advised.  He looked into her eyes and calmed down.  They quickly made their way toward the exit, and to Angel's surprise, made it without getting shot.  They made their way through the exit door when Kevin spoke, "Uh...Trinity...we're uh...we're being chased!"  Angel turned around to see two men running towards the exit door their guns pointed towards them.  "SHOOT THEM!"  Angel and Donna shouted at the same time.  Kevin shakily pointed the gun towards the now opening door and pressed the trigger.  Nothing...he did it again.  Nothing...  "Uh...houston!  We have a problem!"  "WHAT?!?!"  Donna and Angel said in unsion.  "The gun!  It's broke!"  The two men stood ten feet away from them now, their guns pointed.  "The Safety pencil-dick!!!"  Donna shouted.  "Oh yeah!"  Kevin released and sent the bullets out just in time.

  The two men went down, eyes wide, not expecting him to shoot.  Kevin was pushed back at the pressure of the bullets being shot out.  "Whoa shit!"  He shouted.  He almost dropped the gun as he saw the two men lying on the floor in a big puddle of blood.  "Oh my god...are they dead?"  He wondered out loud, sweat pouring from his brow.  "No time to find out, lets get out of here!"  Angel yelled, running around a corner.  "Goddamit!!!  Quit running, slow the fuck down dammit!"  Donna exclaimed, beating up on Angel's head.  "If you don't slow the fuck down I'm gonna bite you!"  She threatened.  "Hey!  Donna, C'mon!  Quit it!"  Angel shouted, slowing down a bit, attempting to get Donna to stop beating up on her bare shoulder and exposed head.  Kevin had to smirk at their bickering.  It was kind of cute, seeing Trinity beg Donna to quit hitting her.  They finally reached the main street, right in front of the hotel.  Their was broken glass out on the sidewalks from the hotel's windows and glass doors.  People were coming out of the hotel, running for their lives.  The trio hastily looked around.  Angel was dissapointed to not spotting anyone.  "Brian and the guys must have gotten away by a taxi or something, there is no sign of them!"  Kevin said.  "Shit, C'mon!  We got to get out of here!"  Angel shouted, making a dash for the street.  "Trinity!!!  Wait!"  Kevin shouted, running behind her. 

  It wasn't until the painful feeling reached the back of her thigh that she ever heard Kevin scream.  Angel felt herself falling...falling towards the black pavement.  The sounds of screeching wheels, the loud screaming of Donna that rang in her ears...and the pain...oh the pain...it was unbearable...she didn't even feel the impact of the ground before everything closed in around her, and went black...
