~Oh...No!~
While everything was going on in the middle school, Ruthie's class was having a blast. They were busy playing tag when the teacher came outside to get Ruthie. When Ruthie asked why, the teacher told her that her parents were coming to pick her up. Matt and Mary were also excused when their teachers found out that it was their brother's class that was being held at gunpoint. All of the other students in both the elementary and high schools were excused not too long after. The middle school students were long gone except Mr. Smith's class. They were all petrified.
When Annie and Eric arrived to get Ruthie, she already had everything ready and was waiting to go home. She still had no idea why she was leaving early, but once she saw her parents faces she immediately knew something was wrong. So she ran over to them and hugged them. She then proceeded to ask, "What's wrong? Why am I going home early?" Annie didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell a eight-year-old that her eleven-year-old brother, whom she's really close with, was stuck in a room with a kid who had a gun. Eric knew this so he tried to tell her as gently as possible what was going on. "Something's going on at Simon's school." He told her. "Is it something bad?" She asked. When Eric slowly nodded, she burst into tears. At this point, Lucy walked out of the car and over to her. Then she wrapped her in a big hug. They didn't know what to do to comfort Ruthie so they just hugged her. Then they headed to their car.
While all of this stuff was going on, Matt and Mary made their way over to Simon's school. Once they saw how many police cars were there, they began to panic."What if Simon's hurt?" They were thinking to themselves as their parents showed up. All of the other kids,that were in the classroom, parents were already there. They walked over near them and spotted Matt and Mary. "So you guys heard?" They asked. "Yeah, I was in class and another teacher came in to talk to my teacher and then they turned on the TV. That's when I saw a picture of Simon's school with police all around. I wonder what's going on." Mary said. "A kid named Johnny is holding Simon's class at gunpoint." Eric sadly said.
While they were all standing outside, the policemen on the inside were trying to get Johnny to put down the gun. Their talks failed though, and he kept the gun pointed at the class and then every so often he would point it back at Simon, who he still had by the collar. Sgt. Micheals walked over to the classroom and saw Simon in Johnny's grip and the look on his face was enough to make him look away. "Stay back, I will shoot!" Johnny kept shouting at them. He would tighten his grip on Simon and Simon would shake that much harder. It was clear to see even through the windows that Simon was scared as well as the rest of the students.
"Johnny, please don't hurt him! Please!" Deena waspleading now. "Shut up! I can't have you, so now I'll make sure no one can!" Johnny yelled as he pointed his gun at her. He fired a bullet into the ceiling to show that he wasn't joking. They all shut up immediately. The cops now had to move quickly because this kid wasn't joking.
Sgt. Micheals headed back outside to talk to the other officers. As soon as he stepped outside, a bunch of reporters surrounded him. "Sgt. Micheals, what's going on inside?" One reporter asked. "No questions now! Step back!" He shouted and proceeded over to the other officers. Annie and Eric walked over to him. "What's going on inside? Is Simon alright? Is everyone else alright?" He asked him. "Everyone's fine for now, but this kid means business. We have to get those kids out." Sgt. Micheals told him.
