A gunshot rang out! Bodies went flying and running for cover. Bianca and Marissa grabbed each other at the same time and dove behind a large chair in the corner of the room. They could hear Jessie yelling for everyone to stay down. Another voice shouted, "It came from behind that wall!"

Jessie remembered hearing about the tunnels in the Chandler mansion. "Adam! Is that a tunnel entrance?"

"Yes, it is."

"Where does it come out?" Information was relayed, calls made for backup and a plan quickly formed. Brot and Natalia headed carefully into the tunnel entrance. Jessie ran to find the outside entrance.

Bianca and Marissa, still clinging to each other behind the chair, asked if the other was hurt. They both seemed okay. Looking in each other's eyes, one thought seemed to pass between them. 'JR, he had to be behind this!' Bianca raised her head slowly to see what was happening around them. Others were doing the same thing and starting to rise. As Bianca stood, she heard a gasp. Kendall shouted, "Oh my God, Bianca! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so. You?"

"Bianca, you're covered in blood! Are you sure?"

That's when Bianca glanced down at her dress and arms. She was in fact covered in blood, but she wasn't hurt. It wasn't her blood. "Marissa!" She looked down and saw Marissa was still on the floor. Blood was flowing from her, near her chest. "Oh my God! We need help! Marissa's been shot!"

Jake and Angie were the first to reach them. "Call 911! We need an ambulance!"

David and Krystal rushed over to their daughter. Angie moved to hold them back so Jake could evaluate her condition. Kendall held Bianca back. "Let them do their job, Binks."

Bianca nodded numbing, tears started streaming down her face. "She said she was okay. How could she not know she was hurt? How could I not know she was hurt?"

"She's going into shock, Angie!" Jake shouted from Marissa's unconscious body.

"Adam! Colby! We need blankets and some clean towels," Angie shouted, shaking the Chandlers out of their trance and into action.

Erica rushed to Bianca, frantic to check on her youngest. Seeing all of that blood on her, made Erica shiver. "Are you sure you're not hurt?"

"I'm fine, Mom. It's Marissa. She's got to be okay! Jake? Angie? How is she?" Bianca pleaded with the doctors to tell her something, anything about her girlfriend's condition. "Please, I need to know!"

Jake looked up quickly to where Bianca was. "I can't tell the extent of her injuries yet. I need that ambulance here now."

Kendall held Bianca as she started to shake. "It was JR. It had to be him. Who else would want to hurt Marissa? The kids! AJ! Kendall, if he could do this to Marissa, he could go after AJ!"

Kendall glanced at Zach. He nodded, "I'm on it!" He reached for his cell to start making calls.

The ambulance arrived with paramedics rushing over to Jake, Angie and Marissa. They transferred her to a gurney quickly. Bianca rushed after them as they made their way out of the room. Angie turned to her. Gently, she refused Bianca's unasked question to go with them. "We'll meet you at hospital."

Kendall pulled Bianca back. "Zach is already getting car. We'll be right behind them. She'll be okay, Binks."

Bianca was shaking so hard she could barely stand. Tad placed his jacket around her, worried that she too was going into shock. Dixie pulled him aside. "Do you think it was JR? It couldn't have been him. He was heading out of town. We saw him at the airport."

"At this point, Dixie, I wouldn't put it past him. He was so filled with hate, especially towards the two of them. I just don't know." Tad said as he pulled Dixie close.

Kendall and Greenlee helped Bianca off the couch and to Zach's waiting car with Erica right on their heels. David and Krystal followed quickly behind.

Police had arrived and started taking statements from the other partygoers preventing them from following the shell-shocked group.
