LOS ANGELES, KELLY'S MANSION 1:29 a.m.

Eliot, Jake, and Lenny were sitting at the bar. Eliot and Lenny were telling Jake what happened and they just got to the part when Lenny was acting hysterical.

"So you were crying?", asked Jake, laughing uncontrollable

"How many times do I have to tell you? I was not crying…the back window got shot open, letting in the air which started messing with my allergies." Lenny said with a straight face.

Eliot and Jake looked at Lenny, then at each other, and started laughing again.

"You know what, fuck you guys. I'm going to my damn room.", Lenny said as he began storming off.

Jake stopped him, "C'mon Len. You know what, I'm full of energy and in the mood for some pool. Are you tagging along?"

"Seems cool. I haven't whooped you in a while.", said Lenny

"Kane you down?" Jake asked Eliot.

"Yeah, I'm in.", Eliot got up and put his coat on, "Better bring a box of tissue for Weeping Beauty over there."

"I TOLD YOU IT WAS ALLERGIES, MAN!", yelled Lenny from behind Jake

Jake laughed as Lenny and Eliot keep going back and forth. The three friends decided to go out the back door so they wouldn't disturb the other guys.

"Hey where are we going at 1 in the morning anyway?" asked Eliot

"Charlene's. Don't worry, Kane. When you're with me, doors get open no matter what time it is."

"Yeah. We're going to make sure no one messes with you or your pretty hair.", added Lenny

Eliot glared while Jake started laughing

"Okay you two play ni-", Jake was cut off by the sounds of gunfire. The three men dropped to the ground for cover. Kelly's guys must of heard it because J.C., Mike, Chad, and a few others came outside with their own gunfire.

After about three minutes of shooting, the shooters drove away. Eliot was sure that a few of them were hit. The hitter got up and checked around to see if everyone was alright. He panicked when he couldn't see Lenny or Jake.

"Where's Jake and Lenny?" he asked Mike, who said he didn't know.

He asked everyone outside but everyone said they didn't know. And then Eliot saw it: a bloody trail.

He followed it until it stopped a few feet away from the door.

"Help us man! I don't know if he's dead or not!"

"WE NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE! THEY'VE BEEN SHOT!", yelled a panicking Eliot

Before he knew it, all of the men were picking up Jake and Lenny and taking them to Mort, Kelly's personal doctor. Eliot helped put the two in the car, praying that he can see friends tomorrow.

"You guys take him to Mort, I'll go tell Kelly what happened.", Eliot said as he rushed to Kelly's room.

He ran for what seemed like forever before he got to Kelly and Bonnie's room door. He banged on the door which was open by a very upset Kelly

"What the fucks your prob-"

"Jake and Lenny got shot. J.C., Mike, and few others are taking them to Mort.", Eliot interrupted Kelly's rant.

Kelly's anger seem to disappear almost immediately as he was now rushing to put on any clothes he could find to be with one of his best guys and close friend.

"We're getting out of this house. Take Bonnie somewhere safe. Once that's done, call me and I'll tell you where to meet me at." Kelly said before rushing out the house to see about Jake and Lenny.

"Bonnie we have go!" Eliot yelled out.

He looked all around the room before noticing the walk-in closet door was slightly opened. He saw her sitting on the floor.

"C'mon Bonnie. I gotta get you far away from here as… possible…", Eliot could hear her crying but couldn't actually see her because her back was turned to him.

"Bonnie are you okay?" asked Eliot

"I'll be ready in twenty minutes…just…wait outside" she replied, voice sounding cracked.

"We don't have twenty minutes! We need to go now!" Eliot said while picking her up.

Bonnie was fighting and yelling. Eliot knew this wasn't the time for one of her fits so he thought that maybe he could yell some sense into her. He was getting angry about her stubbornness so he put her down to look her face to face, . His frustration disappeared when he looked at her face. That big purple mark on her face…it was hard to not stare at it.

"I SAID I'LL BE READY IN TWENTY MINUTES!", Bonnie said as she pushed Eliot away from her.

Eliot watched as she began putting on makeup, trying to cover up the bruise. Seeing this pissed Eliot off. He's was already worked up about the possibility of losing his only friends here, but the fact that his boss was a woman beater… pushed his buttons the hardest.

After about ten minutes, Bonnie was done with hiding the bruise and was putting on clothes. Eliot stepped out of the closet and waited near the door. While she was doing that, Eliot decided to look for weapons so that if he encountered any problems, they would be protected.

"Okay I'm ready." Bonnie said with a few bags in her hand.

Eliot nodded; he found what he was looking for anyway. He was going across the room to help with her bags when he noticed someone in the gardens. The man pointed something towards the window, exactly where Bonnie was currently standing.

"GET DOWN!" Eliot yelled before jumping on her and taking cover.

From the corner, they watched as gunfire destroy the bedroom. When the gunfire moved away from the room, Eliot and Bonnie snuck through a secret passage way Bonnie showed him a few days ago. It led them into Kelly's den which then led to the garage door. Eliot grabbed the first car keys he could get his hands on. They set the lights off to a 2004 Dodge Dakota. It was perfect. A car like this would be unexpected to whoever these guys were. Eliot put Bonnie's bags in the back and they got in the car but Eliot didn't start the car.

"Why are we sitting?! Get us the fuck out of here!" Bonnie whisper yelled

"Do you wanna get caught and killed?", Bonnie shook her head no," then let me handle this, will ya?"

They sat quietly for about two minutes, both were thinking.

"He's going to get us killed!" Bonnie thought as she glance at Eliot, who was deep in thought.

"They had to see me go into the room.", Eliot thought, "But they didn't see us leave…"

Eliot waited until he heard the guns going off again.

The gunfire was loud and Eliot could tell that more goons were shooting now than ever. He turned the car on, speeding out the driveway and towards the busy streets of Los Angeles.

For now he had one job and one job only: To make sure Bonnie was safe.
