There should be two more chapters left and then this story will be finito. Hopefully cause this story was originally three chapters and here we are chapter 10. So as you can see I'm terrible at making up my mind. Anyway thank you for all the reviews and I hope you enjoy this chapter and I tried not to leave that big of a cliffhanger. I made it so you should be able to guess what happens. And I bet you didn't see this chapter coming.

Chapter 10 Intruder

"You change the disk"

"No way, you change the disk dork."

"Don't call me and dork and you need to get up and change the disk."

"I'm not moving so you change the disk."

"I'm not kissing you for a week if you don't chan.."

"Done deal, changing the disk." How can I not change the disk now? I got up as fast as I could and grabbed the DVD case. Freddie and I just finished watching Transformers and now when I put the new disk in were going to watch Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen. Even though I highly doubt we will see much of it.

I put the disk in and returned to the couch. I resumed my position which was curled up against Freddie's side. He put his arm back around my shoulders and we held hands again.

I have to say this is the most comfortable position ever. And we have been like this for about a week now. I go to work in the morning fix kids' problems while Freddie studies for his college course at home. Then he picks me up and we head home and hang out.

Carly occasionally comes over but she's been really busy lately. Apparently the bank she works for deals with very rich people and large businesses and is open pretty much all the time with the strictest security. So she works some pretty weird hours. But she isn't moaning because she gets to spend extra time with Mr. Perfect. Or, as Carly would like us to call him Marcus.

"So.." I'm guessing Freddie was trying to break the silence and be smooth at the same time. But still his attempt put a smile on my face.

"Yes Fredwad?" I just looked up at him. No way was I going to move.

"What you wana do tomorrow? Cause you aren't working and I finished my project so.. you know... we are both free." He is so cute. And he's mine.

"Honestly I don't mind. But let's get out of the city. It's been sunny for the last few days so let's make the most of it." I do miss having the sun being out every day but after the whole getting shot ordeal I don't think I would go back in a hurry. But I do miss Mason. Or should I say Tina Turner.

"Ok then how about the beach." Is he serious?

"Are you serious it will be full of screaming kids, lots of people and sand?" Seriously the beach is the best he could do.

"I'll get to take my shirt off." Freddie looked down at me and winked.

"The beach it is then." I couldn't help but reach up and kiss him. Kissing Fredward Benson will never get old.

Freddie started laughing as I cuddled back into him. The film playing but neither of us were paying attention to it. How could we when every second the film was interrupted by one of us reaching for popcorn or trying to tickle the other.

Eventually the film was completely forgotten about and I was straddling Freddie on the couch.

I seriously can't think of anything that beats kissing Fredbag. Even after a week my heart still beats a hundred times faster and all I here is the pounding of blood in my ears.

Freddie had his hands on my hips while my hands were around his neck. We broke apart from lack of oxygen and just stared at each other.

We were eventually broken out of our staring contest when we both heard Carlys voice. Its 10pm so I'm guessing she's just home from work. She was talking on her phone to someone. Then we heard her put the keys in her door and open it. I'm guessing she was in her apartment now because I could no longer hear her.

So I looked at Freddie again smiling. He then kissed me again. But this time it was different there was a loud crash from outside. It sounded like the door was forced in. We broke apart and immediately jumped up. Then we heard a man's voice followed by Carly screaming.

"DON'T MOVE. I SAID DON'T MOVE JUST GIVE ME YOUR KEYS for the bank."

The man continued to shout but I wasn't listening. I knew the cops would take too long and hey I was a Marine for over a year I can totally do this. Right?

"It's Carly. Don't move, let me handle this one. I just need to get my gun." I then turned around and ran back into my old room. I threw open the dresser and reached in to grab my gun. I put in the magazine clip and then took off the safety. I wasn't about to let some stranger harm Carly. Not with me around.

I ran back out into the living room Freddie wasn't there. Dang, he must have gone to help Carly. I then ran for the apartment door which was open, straight across the hall and into Carlys apartment. What I saw caught me completely off guard. I raised my weapon and pointed it directly at the intruder. I remembered all the training I went through. Remain calm, never take your eyes off the enemy and try to defuse the situation.

Carly was over on front of the elevator. The intruder was using her as a human shield and he had a gun in his hand. This might be harder than I thought. She was crying and he was yelling but I wasn't listening. Freddie was standing half way between me and Carly. He was holding his arms up trying to calm Carly down and to see what the intruder wanted.

"Let her go right now." I shouted making sure the intruder heard me. He then focused on me when he noticed that I was carrying a gun and not Freddie.

"No way, not until I get the keys to the bank. Nobody gets hurt if I get the keys." His hold on Carly became tighter and she was struggling against him more and more.

"Sir I'm going to ask you nicely one more time. LET HER GO" I never took my eyes off him. I know if I make one wrong move Carly and Freddie are going to be in danger and that is not going to happen. I will not let this guy harm anyone not as long as I'm alive. Jeez I sound like Rambo.

"Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do. Just get out of here and mind your own fucking business this doesn't concern you." This guy is getting really angry but after being overseas he is not going scare me.

"Well since you asked I'm a US Marine and I took an oath to protect people from enemies. All enemies. Foreign and domestic. So you see it is my fucking business. You are a domestic enemy right now so you need to drop your weapon and leave." This guy doesn't know who he is messing with. I'm even holding my gun so tight my hands are completely white and beginning to get stiff and numb. But there's no way on this earth I'm lowering it. Not until Carly is out of harm's way. And Freddie too, of course.

"A Marine... what the... HA yeah right. I'm not stupid Blondie." This guy isn't so tough. His face just dropped at the word Marine. He's even as white as a sheet. His hands are starting to shake too and he's beginning to look all around him I'm guessing he's looking for a way out. I just hope he doesn't try anything drastic.

"Look.." Freddie tried to talk but was cut off before he could say anything else. This guy is seriously nuts. Freddie then started backing up towards the door. I then started circling to my left so I was standing on front of the TV. I wanted to get away from Freddie. Just in case something goes wrong.

"SHUT UP. I'm not leaving until I get those keys." HE points his gun directly at me. His hand is shaking violently now. If he shoots I know for fact he is going to miss. He's too panicked to make a good enough shot. He's not even paying attention to Carly now because his grip is loosening around her. But it's still not enough for her to get free. I just hope she doesn't make a break for it. This guy is way too crazy and panicked right now for her to do that. He could shoot her on reflex without meaning to.

"You're not getting the keys" I tried to sound as calm as possible just to show this guy I'm serious.

"I'm going to count to five and then I want those keys or I'm going to shoot her." Not good, not good. Think Sam think. AND FAST. Carly is freaking out right now. She struggling much more and crying hysterically. Even Freddie is freaking out. Well honestly I can't blame either of them. There's no way they are used to being in dangerous situations like this.

"Okay then. I'm going to count to three and you better leave or I'm going to shoot." I'm not bluffing but hopefully this guy is.

"ONE" Carly is struggling again and she's trying to move to her left towards Freddie. But this guy is not going to let her go. I just need her to stay like that and I might get a shot. And hopefully miss Carly.

"Getting shot in the shoulder is going to hurt like a bitch. Trust me I know."

"TWO" Ok this guy is crazy.

"Try not to move the rest of your arm you will seriously be surprised at how much it helps. Oh and those horse pills they are going to give you will be a bitch to take but root beer really helps to get them down."

"THREE" Carly moved at the right second. But the intruder and I both shot at the exact same moment. I shot him in his right shoulder. I know this for sure because I'm a good shot and there's no way I'm going to miss at that distance. Jeez Mason would never let me live it down.

"SAAAMMMM" I'm pretty sure that was Freddie but if it was he sounded really far away. So I don't think it was. And I'm pretty sure Carly is screaming but she also sounds really far away. Maybe they went outside, but that would be stupid. Why would they leave me in here with killer Bob? Especially since Mama just saved both they're asses.

I do feel kinda funny though. I'd say it's just the adrenaline rush. But I feel like I'm floating or falling backwards.

*WHACK*

Okay OW that was my head. Holy chiz that really hurt. I drop my gun and reach up to hold my head but then my side starts burning. Great. Please tell me I didn't get shot again because I hate hospitals.

"CALL 911 CARLY QUICK"

"Hey .. Sam can you hear me?.. SAM, ... no stay with me come on." I am really tired right now. And who is playing that stupid Tina Turner song rolling in a River at this time of night. I'm so telling Lewbert in the morning.

"Turn .. the music .. off ... seriously I hate ... that song."

"What.. what music? Sam can you hear me?" Whoever's voice that is they sound really panicked. And the need to quit shaking me. Jeez inconsiderate much.

But that stupid song is getting louder. Maybe if I just close my eyes for a second it will just go away.

Hold on why is my hand all wet and sticky? And what's that weird smell? It smells like copper. Ugh my eyes are so heavy and my head feels like it weighs a tonne.

"SAAMM..."

See cliffhanger isn't that bad. Originally I was planning on finishing this chapter when killer bob counts to three. But I thought it was too cruel.

If you love Seddie and mashed potatoes leave a review. XD

Or not :( But it would make me really happy.
