Chapter Nine
Mouth pulled up in Shelly's driveway, and put the car in drive.
"You left her at the house," Mouth said, more defensively than he had planned.
"My neighbor is watching her," Shelly said, shaking her head at Mouth's stupidity.
"So you so scared, someone is trying to kill you and Destiny, but you leave her with a neighbor," Mouth said.
"I didn't have a lot of choices did I," Shelly screamed, now face to face with Mouth.
"You know, you guys might just want to finish this inside," Rachel said, looking a crossed the street.
"Why?" Shelly said, a little louder than planned.
"Because, there is a guy over there in that car, and he has a gun," Rachel said, pointing over to the distance.
They all look, and see the man getting out of his car. Mouth grabs, Rachel and Shelly's hands and drag them to the door, he checks but it's locked.
"Open the damn door," Mouth yelled.
The door opens, and he pulls the girls into the house, and then jumps in, as the gun goes off, and a stray bullet finds it way into the house.

Lucas lights the last candle he can find. He looks around the room and makes sure that everyone is there.
"Haley, where's Haley?" Lucas asks a little frantically.
"Dude, she's pregnant, where the hell do you think she is," Nathan said.
They all laugh, as Haley emerges from the bathroom.
"Okay, I know someone just cracked a pregnant girl joke," Haley said.
"Oh, no babe, no one would do that," Nathan said in his most loving tone.
"Oh, yes you would," Haley said, as she playfully hit him, and then sat beside him.
--------------------------------------------
Mouth stood up, and looked out the window.
"Okay, he'll find a way in the house, we got to get out of here," Mouth said.
"Mouth, honey, I think something is wrong with Shelly," Rachel said, as she knelt down beside her.
"God, she's been shot," Mouth yelled.
"Mommy, is mommy here," Destiny yelled.
"Sweetheart please stay here," the neighbor said.
Destiny ran in, and Mouth intercepted her and held her.
"How is she doing," Mouth asked.
"She's losing a lot of blood," Rachel said.
"We've got to get out of here," Mouth said.
"She's got a car, in the garage," the neighbor said.
"Okay, lets go," Mouth said, handing Destiny over to the neighbor, and grabbed hold of Shelly.
-------------------------------------------------
"Okay guys, it's just a matter of time before Dan tries to get in here," Lucas said.
"Okay, man, we have two kids, three pregnant women, your mom, and then me and you. How in the hell are we going to fight off Dan," Nathan asked.
"I haven't gotten that far yet," Lucas said.
"How bout now, you want to get that far now," Nathan asked.
"Yeah," Lucas said, just as his cell began to ring.
-----------------------------
"Hello," Lucas answered.
"Man, we are in trouble here," Mouth screamed.
"Mouth what is it," Lucas asked, concern written across his face.
"Well Shelly is shot, we are being chased by a man in a car with a gun. Rachel stay down, shit Rach. Okay make that Shelly and Rachel both shot, help me please Luke," Mouth pleaded, as tears came to his eyes.
"Can you get them to a hospital," Lucas asked.
"If we stop we are dead," Mouth said.
"Okay, keep pressure on the wounds, and drive as fast as possible," Lucas said.
"Okay I'll call you back," Mouth said, hanging up the phone.
-------------------------------
"What is going on," Nathan asked.
"Shelly and Rachel both got shot," Lucas said.
"Rachel is pregnant," Brooke said.
"I know, she'll be fine okay," Chase said, rubbing Brooke's arms.
---------------------------------
"What do you mean you lost them," Dan screamed.
"They veered onto the interstate and then they were gone," the man said.
"You good for nothing little punk," Dan screamed as he hung up the phone.
