American Beauty/American Psycho by Fall Out Boy

The elevator had been empty when they first got in, now several floors later it was packed and the pretty dark haired lady in black and the smart suited man found themselves squashed in a corner at the far back.

The little boy couldn't help looking around, he had been dragged around the shops all day by his mum and he was now completely bored, he wanted to see if anything interesting was happening.

He looked to his right where his mother was stood chatting to his grandmother next to her, to his left was a balding older man that looked like a business man, he had the suit, the briefcase and the dull expressionless face.

Huffing to himself the boy folded his arms and willed the lift to hurry up, he wanted this shopping trip over so he could go home and play XBox with his older brother.

Another minute passed,

The boy turned his head to the side then his body so he could have a nosey at the people standing behind them.

Nothing exciting really, a delivery man with some parcels, a few women chatting away, a young businessman eyeing up the women chatting and a man and a woman standing close together at the back. Nothing special really, until something caught the boy's eye…

The dark suited man standing at the back with the pretty woman, his suit jacket was open and there was something hidden in underneath next to his side. The dark colouring stood out against the man's white shirt.

The young boy's eyes went wide as he realised it was a gun the man was carrying! He knew it was a gun, he had seen characters in TV shows with gun holsters just like that, usually they were cops or gangsters.

The boy quickly turned his head to the front pretending he hadn't seen it, but it wasn't long till his curiosity got the better of him and he had to turn around again slyly to have another look.

The pretty woman dressed in black standing next to the man had moved closer to him and was now whispering into his ear, the young boy's heart nearly jumped out of his chest as the dark suited, gun wielding man looked right at him!

The boy quickly turned back to face the front again, he was shaking, what if the man was angry?

Whilst this had all been going on, the boy hadn't realised the elevator doors opening and his mother began dragging him along, 'come on Thomas this is our floor' his mother said as she pulled him by the hand out of the lift.

Thomas turned quickly to see the remaining two people in the elevator before the doors closed, the dark suited man and the pretty woman in black. The man merely cocked an eyebrow at him whilst the woman stood in front of the man and began slowly buttoning up his jacket, with a smile she turned to Thomas and pressed a finger to her lips as if to say…

'Shhh'
