On a cold, dark, night, the stars of Miami shone above the crowded streets below . Eric and Calleigh were out strolling in the bustling neighborhood. They enjoyed seeing all of the colorful, decorated houses, the air full of laughter, and just being together. A small boy ran into them and spilled candy all over Calleigh.
" Sorry miss," the kid said as he tried to clean the candy off of her.
" Don't worry, it's fine," she replied.
The kid seemed to be about 7, but he was alone.
" Hey, do you have a parent around, um, um,"
" Zack," he finished for her, " and, I can't really find them."
Calleigh shifted to knee and asked, " when was the last time you saw them?"
" We'll I couldn't find them when I got home from school and--,"
He was cut off by the sound of gunshots coming west from where they were standing.
" Everyone get down," Eric yelled.
Quick as a flash, he had his arm and body covering Calleigh, while his other arm was outstretched bearing
his gun. Calleigh had jumped to cover Zack, and Zack, going as a pirate, clutched his parrot while crying.
The long string of fire ended as suddenly as it had started, and the square once filled with laughter was
filled with frantic screams.
"Everyone stay calm," Eric yelled.
" Zack," Calleigh asked, " are you OK?"
" Y-yes, I-I th-think s-so," He mumbled
" So, where do you think your parents would have gone," Calleigh asked?
" Ummm, I'm not sure, but they might have gone to West Bridge hotel for a meeting. I faintly remember
Them talking about something there," Zack replied.
" To the West Bridge hotel," Calleigh exclaimed.
They walk to the car. Eric gets in, Calleigh gets in, and-
" Zack, aren't you coming," Calleigh asked?
" I would, but my mom said to never get into a car with a stranger," Zack told her.
" Zack, we are from the Police Department, we won't hurt you," Eric said.
Suddenly there were loud screams.
" Help, help, my mother has been shot," A sobbing woman exclaimed.
" OK, Cal, you do what you need to with Zack, I'm going to go check this out." Eric said.
" OK." Calleigh replied.
Eric runs through the crowd to help the mom.
" So Zack," Calleigh said as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, " how does saving your parents
Sound?"
