Tom and Sam got out the car and began walking down the road together hand in hand, whilst Tom had Jamie on his shoulders. Amelia was at Zoe's for the night while the family celebrated Jamie's 10th birthday, they were going to watch spiderman at cinema. Whilst at cinema, the parents spoiled Jamie rotten, they brought him the biggest popcorn and all the sweets he wanted, but the parents secretly knew that this would of be one the few last times their son would probably go out with them in public before he hit the terrible teens. After that they knew he would think he was to 'cool' to be seen out with his parents.
After the film had finished, the family walked down a quiet residential street to where they had parked the car, no one was around. It was quite late, and Jamie had fallen asleep which left Tom the job of carrying him.
The pair happily walked down the street in silence when suddenly someone crept up behind.
" Give me all the money you have or I will shoot you." He whispered. Tom immediately handed Jamie to Sam before jumping in front of his family protecting them.
" Look mate I haven't got any cash, just cards." Tom said calmly.
" What about her?" He nodded towards Sam. Tom then reached into her pocket and took out her purse as she had her hands full with Jamie and handed it towards the man.
" Just let us go, and we will forget all about this." Tom said, the man then looked into Sam's purse, before angrily throwing it on the floor.
" Nothing, there's nothing in there. I need money!"
" I've already said-" At that point the man drew a gun out of his coat and pointed it at Tom. He then stood back immediately pushing Sam behind him making sure his family were protected.
" Look, just let us go, nobody needs to get hurt." Tom focused his eyes on the man in front of him, he had completely hidden his face.
" You don't understand, I need that money!" He shouted. Jamie began to stir in Sam's arms, Tom just hoped he didn't wake up to see all the commotion that was going on.
" We can't help you. We don't have any money." At that moment the man lost it and began waving his gun around. He started shouting at them.
Sam was so scared, she knew the gun was loaded, she could tell. She held Jamie so tight, thankfully he was still asleep but she could see the man getting more angry. He then quickly walked right up to Tom and placed the gun on his heart. At that very moment, Tom felt frightened for the first time.
" Give me money or you get shot" Tom didn't know what to do, he really didn't have any money, they didn't carry cash. He quickly looked round to his wife and son and Tom looked into Sam eyes. They were filled with fear. He quickly kissed Sam on the head, and then Jamie on the head before turning back to the gunman.
The gun was now directly on Tom's chest, although Tom didn't actually know if the man had it in him to shoot someone but he wasn't going ask.
" Money, now!"
" I don't have-" before Tom could finish his sentence a loud gunshot filled the air.
" TOM!" Sam screamed, as the man sprinted down the street out of sight. Sam began screaming for help as her husband was lying motionless on the floor. People began to open their doors and ran to help Sam. Some stayed in their homes and just observed from their windows.
Jamie had also woken up and quickly realised the situation that was going on.
" Dad, dad!" Jamie screamed just like Sam had. She was applying pressure to Tom's chest, he had been shot in the heart and he was bleeding out.
" Tom, you've got to stay with. Stay with me." But Sam already knew what was going to happen, not many people survived the kind of injury he had.
Tom began to lose consciousness and as he did his head fell to the side. His eyes focused on the small picture of Sam, Jamie and Amelia which was lying on the floor, crumpled. It was the one that was always in Sam's purse. He then noticed it was covered in blood and that his eyelids felt very heavy against his eyes. Tom then just let the darkness take over him as the agonising pain in his chest faded away, just like him.
