Kasey was freaking out.

Almost seriously freaking out because they were all literally in a life or death situation.

They had been stuck in TTNT due to a hostage situation for a really long time now, and no one was sure on if they would have ever come back.

If they did, then it might not have been on time.

He had told Sienna Rose the news ages ago and she had told Sitara, Rayselle and Serenity, who were yet to come here.

The three of them were all still alive by the grace of God, but if they were going to be staying alive at the end of everything?

They needed Jesus Christ for that.

Leilani had asked Kasey if he was okay, and he had to lie and say he was.

Raina Riele in the meantime had gone to go and talk to Riki Yvette as well as Brianni about this whole situation, with the boys not even realising that she had gone.

That was until she had come back, with the three girls talking about how they could have potentially gotten out of here once and for all.

Kasey and Leilani didn't seem too bright about the idea at the end of the day.

"What?" Raina had frowned, folding her arms. "How comes?"

"Because Latroy just said that if he catches any of us trying to sneak out then he'll shoot us," Kasey had remembered.

Riki Yvette and Brianni had invited themselves into the conversation, not that any of them had seemed to mind because Raina Riele had been talking to them anyway.

Although if they were all planning to escape together then that wasn't going to be easy because there were more of them.

"Latroy said that he'd shoot us if we try to escape, yes," Brianni added.

"But that's only if he catches us," Riki Yvette had added, which had got the boys thinking. "He didn't say we can't escape without him catching us."

Yes, but even though he didn't say that...

It was kind of obvious, wasn't it?

Then again... he wouldn't have known that they were trying to escape because he wouldn't have caught them.

Leilani had whispered to Kasey that they were on to something, with Kasey agreeing to what Leilani had said to him just now.

"Aight fine," Leilani had replied after him and Kasey had a mini discussion about this. "How can we escape without Latroy catching us?"

Raina Riele had then put an arm around him, turning to face both him and Kasey towards the door.

Then she pointed to it.

It wasn't just any door though, it was the fire exit door that was in the middle of the shop... there was a coats rack right in front of it.

They must have not realised the fact that they were on lockdown mode at the moment, meaning that no one could have left the store or gone out too.

About twenty people or so had already been killed by a seriously ruthless Latroy. There had used to be fifty people in the store but now there were about thirty.

The amount of people that were outside was insane though, with some people really pouring out tears at the moment because they weren't sure if their loved ones were going to make it out alive or not.

Police wouldn't have let anyone in, with the store only being open temporarily so that the ambulance could have gone in.

But that was it, no one else.

Police were trying to talk to Latroy from outside the shop as if they had talked to him inside then they were worried that they would have been killed.

Either way, Latroy was towards the entrance of the shop whilst the rest of them were towards the end of the store instead.

Raina Riele had tried really hard to open the door when they had gotten there, that was until they had all remembered the fact that they were on lockdown mode at the moment.

Even worse.... one of Latroy's friends had seen them, with no one being aware that Latroy hadn't come here alone.

This was because he had all sent them to the back of the store and those who hadn't obeyed his instructions... instant death to them.

"How are we going to get out of here now?" Raina Riele had complained when they had all tried opening the door.

They had even used a hammer to try and smash the fire exit door but because they were currently on lockdown mode it wasn't very successful.

This was hopeless, they were going to be stuck here for the longest time.

When Kasey had an epiphany, that was also unfortunately the time that one of Latroy's friends had come to them as well.

And honestly speaking, if they could have hidden from him then they would. They didn't since they didn't even see him come there.

He had pointed a gun at them, with another one of his friends doing the same thing, but despite this, none of them had shot anyone of them yet.

"And where do y'all think you're going?"

Freaking out, all five of them had their backs against the wall, panicking.

"Uhm..."

"You're not tryna escape, are you?" Latroy's second friend had asked them, with all of them. "Because y'all know we finna kill those that are tryna escape."

Raina, Kasey and Leilani even had excuses as to why they could have left.

They were doing an undercover mission for Kasey's father Antonio.

They couldn't say that though because not only would they have blown Antonio's cover... it also wasn't very believable.

They didn't even have proof.

Reluctantly shaking their heads, Latroy's two friends had told them to go back to where they had come from, else they were going to get it.

As they didn't have much of a choice, they had listened to them, with his friends practically pointing their gun at them the whole time as they had left.

Latroy's friends, who were probably twins now as they had really looked like each other (black dreadlocks, blue Adidas tracksuit and brown eyes) had gone.

Kasey had a brilliant idea when all hope was lost.

It had involved Sienna Rose again as there was no way on planet Earth they could have done it themselves.

That was the thing.
