Jack quickly stood up from his chair as did Sally. "Derek!" shrieked Sally, "Why?" He leaned forward on the table. "This," he nodded to the three behind him, "Is another reason on how I got rich." "Murder." Jack said darkly. "Oh no Jack. I see it as the survival of the fittest," he chuckled, "And the smartest." Sally could sense the pulse of anger coming from Jack.
Derek dug into his pocket and pulled out a gold watch. "Hmmm..." he smiled, "I got time." Jack lightly put his hand on Sallys arm. "Lock, Shock, Barrel.... finish them off." Jack quickly put his hand underneath the table and flipped it upward. Jack then pulled Sally to the hallway. "Where are we going?" she asked as they ran. "Away from here!"
Jack burst through the doors of the casino as Sally followed. He could hear the laughter of the three teens behind them, along with Derek rooting them on. They turned down the road of which they came and Sally saw something in the corner of her eye.
She grabbed Jacks jacket sleeve, "Jack look!" she pointed. He turned his head to see a man, but not just any bystander but his captor. "Oh shit..." The man staggered toward them, holding his six shot revolver. Jack put up his hands, "Take it easy." "This is the last time you escape from me! You bastard!" "Jack..." Sally whispered.
She could see the teens and Derek hurrying toward them. She panicked, "What do we do?" "Oh my God..." he breathed.
The drunk man lifted his gun in front of him and pulled the trigger. Jack and Sally immediately ducked, falling to the ground. Jack looked behind him to see what the bullet had collided with. A body was laying in the middle of the road, only two teenagers were left standing. "Shock!" yelled the short plump teen. He bent down on his knees to check the black haired girl.
The man shot again missing Jack by inches. Jack grabbed Sally's wrist and pulled her up. They began running back in Dereks direction. "Get them!" yelled Derek Oogie. Another bullet was shot and Sally heard from behind her, "Barrel!" Once they had rounded the corner at the end of the street, Jack ran up to the nearest building. "They're going to think we went upstairs," said Jack, "So we'll go downstairs."
Sally made a worried look, "Are you sure?" Jack swung open the basement door and walked inside. Just as Sally made to follow him inside someone put an arm around her neck. She gasped. "Sally!" yelled Jack. Derek stepped in between them and kicked Jack back inside the room. He fell to the floor with a grunt. "I would say it was nice knowing you but it wasn't." smirked Derek and slammed the door shut, blocking it with a chair.
Jack began to slam his fists against it. "No! Sally!" Sally winced as she heard her named being called. The red haired boy continued to back her out of the building. Once they were all out, Oogie sparked a match and threw a tree branch inside the doorway. He lit it on fire. "Jack!" she screamed.
