Chapter 6
Jimmy kept working at the boat's motor but it wasn't getting any power. He yelled to Shane who was yelling something back at him that Jimmy couldn't understand.
What was he saying? Instinctively, Jimmy grabbed his gun and did a quick scan of the area. Nothing. He put the gun down and returned his attention to the motor. The sound of the explosion nearly split his eardrums. Before Jimmy could regain his senses, a great wall of fire rose up out of nowhere. It was as if all hell was breaking loose. Then everything went black. He was out cold.

Although she walked, Abby didn't comprehend at first where she was going. She was worried about her dad. She had no reign on her emotions. She was afraid. She didn't want to die, and God knows she didn't want any more of her friends to die. And her dad! Where was he? Who was he? Did he have a gun trained on them right now? No, he did not. Her father was a decent man who would not put her or anyone through this horrible ordeal.
She perked up a bit when she thought about Jimmy. He would be waiting for her at the marina. Maybe her dad would be too! The two thoughts, intertwined together like that, comforted her. No way could her dad be a cold-blooded killer.
Abby's senses had been in full blown alert for the past few days. But now she was so preoccupied with these thoughts that she momentarily let her guard down. Then, the marina exploded and her friends started screaming. Abby was stunned. She soon realized she was screaming too, screaming for Jimmy and running towards where she thought he was. Even as shots rang out she kept running towards his boat.
Henry fought hard to pull Abby to safety but she kept struggling against him as she continued reaching and calling for Jimmy. Then, a bullet whizzed past their heads. Abby stopped fighting against Henry and started running for her own life.
