Conference Room Ashley, Madison, Ethan…

Ashley and Madison dropped to the ground and covered there ears from the sound of the gunshot. Madison started to cry uncontrollably. The mystery man continued to shoot everyone in the room. One after another he shot each business man right in chest. Ashley and Madison cringed and every shot that had been fired. Soon there was a pause. The man dropped the clip and begun to reload. He took another clip from his pant pocket and loaded into the gun. Ashley looked at the man with unbelievable fear in her eyes. He pointed the gun at Madison. Madison cried harder and made a whimpering noise. "Please don't. You got what you came for. Please don't…." Ashley said in the a shakiest voice possible. Her hands were trembling as she raised them in up. Madison hid her face behind Ashley and she also shook with fear. The man looked at them long and hard. Suddenly he lowered his gun and took off out the door. Ashley took a huge sigh of relief as closed her eyes. You could here more gunshots being fired from the room as he took off down the stairs. The girls jumped every time a shot was fired. There were screams of horror and pleas of help. He shot almost everyone that got in his way. As soon as he finally left the floor silence fell over the conference room as all Ashley could hear was Madison's whimpers that came a went. She turned to Madison and threw her into a huge hug as the sat there on the ground.

Spencer

Spencer and the strangers she was with listened to the gunshots being fired above them. Either gasps or screams came from the people in the room. All Spencer could think about was Ashley. She looked out the locked door to her right as security guards raced by with guns drawn out. She closed her eyes as a tear escaped her eye. She wiped it off. She stayed sat in the corner clasping her knees to her chest. As more shots were fired she just looked around the room in fear that the man would come into the room.

Conference Room

Ashley and Madison

After about forty-five minutes went by there were no more gunshots. It had felt like they sat there for years. There was a dead silence in the room as Ashley sat there trying to comfort Madison as she shook. They both hear footsteps scrambling on the floor. They both looked up to the door. A S.W.A.T officer entered the room with a team. They quickly filed in making the girls jump in surprise. "We have more survivors! But multiple dead." A man said lowering his gun. He held his hand out for Ashley to take. "Here, it's ok I promise the gunner is dead. We need you to be evacuated and checked out by the medical teams outside." All Ashley could muster was a head nod as she took the mans hand and was quickly ran out with Madison. As they ran out they were rushed outside in the parking lot. A paramedic ran to there side, "Ms. Are you injured, or hut in anyway?" Ashley just shook her head with her face still in shock. "Hey we need blankets and water over here we have two women in shock!" the paramedic yelled to back at the ambulance. Ashley looked around outside. Everything slowed down. There were helicopters above, ambulances everywhere, swat and police cars parked. There were screams and people talking everywhere. The paramedic waved a hand in her face. He tried talking to Ashley, but all she could see was his mouth moving and no words coming out. She scanned the parking lot for Spencer. She looked to her left where there was a black tarp laid out with covered bodies lying all over it. She shook the image from her head as she continued to look for Spencer. Finally she spotted Spencer being treated in an ambulance. She was sitting on the back of it as a paramedic put a blanket over her shoulders and handed her water. Ashley didn't care about anything anymore she took off in a full sprint towards Spencer. The paramedic that was with her yelled something after her, but she didn't care if anything she just ran faster. Spencer looked up to see her. She immediately stood up, "Ashley!" When Ashley reached her she just through her arms around her. They stayed in a tight embrace as Ashley just broke down into tears and shook in her girlfriends embrace. "Shh Shh, its ok its ok." Spencer reassured her and just rubbed her back. They stood hugging each other as the madness rushed around them.

L.A. Hospital

Spencer and Ashley

Spencer and Ashley await in the waiting room. They had there hands clasped together as Spencer rubbed Ashley's hand with her thumb. Paula burst through the double doors with her scrubs on. "Spencer Ashley!" Both girls stood as she embraced them in a hug. Arthur burst through the front doors. "Spencer!"

"Dad!" Spencer removed herself from her mother and ran into her dads arms. Ashley took a step back as Paula just put a comforting arm around Ashley's shoulders as they watched Spencer and Arthur. They stayed like that until a doctor came out. "I'm looking for an Ashley Davies?" Ashley took a step forward. She had tears in her eyes and she looked at the doctor. "Ok come with me please." Ashley nodded as she followed the doctor into a secluded hallway behind the double doors. "I don't know how to say this, but I'm terrible sorry to tell you your friend Ethan didn't make it." Ashley broke down into more tears. The doctor continued, "He was shot in a main artery. He lost a lot of blood and quickly. If he was attended to right away he may have made it." Ashley just looked at the ground. Spencer and her parents were watching through the window from the other room. "Thank you." the doctor gave her a weak smile, "I wish we could have done more for you. My condolences." Ashley nodded. The doctor took off down the hall. Ashley just came through the double doors. "What did he have to say? Was it about Ethan is he ok?" Ashley just shook her head and began crying hard. Spencer just gave her a sad face and embraced her into a hug. It was like déjà vu for Spencer. It was like the night after he dad had passed and she came over to her house with mascara running down her cheek.

"Ashley?" Spencer came down the stairs as Ashley took a step away from her mother. Mascara was running down her cheeks. She walked over to Ashley as Paula walked into the kitchen doorway to join Arthur watching the girls. "I'm so sorry." Ashley sobbed. Spencer embraced her into a hug, "It's ok your just going through a really tough time right now." Ashley gently pushed her off by her hip, "No I'm sorry for pushing you away and not letting you help. I'm just so bad at this." Spencer just hugged her girlfriend as she shook from her crying."

Spencer came back from the trance of the memory to hug Ashley tighter. Arthur put his arms around Paula as they watched the girls.

The Loft

Spencer and Ashley

"Hey Spence where did I put my car keys?" Ashley asked as she ran out of the room frantically looking for her car keys. Spencer was laying on the couch doing school work. "Um I don't know, why are you asking me?"

"Because…" Ashley looked at Spencer who gave her a questioning look. "Ok I know I threw them somewhere."

"Anger problems?" Ashley rolled her eyes at her girlfriend, "Noo, just was in a hurry to change or something I don't know…Ugh! Where are my keys!" Ashley threw her hands up in the air, "Well maybe if you didn't yell at them they wouldn't hide." Spencer smirked at Ashley. Before Ashley could answer Kyla walked through the doors. She was twirling the Ashley's keys around her index finger and humming. As soon as she saw Spencer and Ashley her face dropped, "Uh, hi Ashley…Spencer."

"Are those my keys?"

"Uh…"

"Kyla!" Kyla put her hand out in defense, "Sorry! Look I had somewhere important to go."

"Like where!"

"Uhm…"

"Exactly! Give me those!" Ashley went to grab them but Kyla ran around to Spencer. "I need them!"

"For what?"

"For stuff."

"Get your own car!" Ashley chased Kyla all around the loft. Spencer just laughed and continued her work. She could here the girls yelling at each other, "Stop trying to kill me!"

"Kyla its my car!" Spencer heard a scream and a crash, "Ashley your paying for that! It was valuable!"

"Give me my keys!" Spencer giggled. Ashley's phone went off. It was on the coffee table right next to the couch she was sitting on. The number was blocked. She answered it anyway. "Hello?"

"Hi this is Tom with Carson's Law Firm. I'm calling behalf of a will that and Ashley Davies is in. Is this her?"

"No this is actually her girlfriend, but may I ask who's will this is?"

"Um hold on let me look it up." Spencer heard typing in the background. "Um an Ethan. Do you both know an Ethan?" Spencer paused as she remembered what happened a year ago at Ethan's building. "Hello? Ms?" Spencer snapped out of her trance, "Um yes he was a personal friend of Ashley's."

"Ok well she is entitled to some of his stuff. Anyway Ashley or both of you can make it down here?"

"Uh, yes actually."

"Does tomorrow work for you both?"

"Sure."

"Ok see you then. Bye."

"Bye." The phone hung up. Spencer put the phone down as Ashley came out with her keys, "Who was that?" She walked over to the couch and sat down by Spencer. "Um, it was a lawyer with Carson's Law Firm." Ashley raised an eyebrow, "What did he want?"

"Your entitled to some stuff in Ethan's will. He wants to meet with you about it tomorrow." Ashley just stared blankly at Spencer. "Oh my god."
