Chapter 2: Chaos and Cataclysm

Dolores Sylvester clung to Jake's arm, her mind in a turmoil of angst and terror.
"Oh my God!" she cried, "Oh my God Jake! How do we get outta here?"
"Stay calm, Princess!" he replied, "I can be strong for both of us!"
Her wet silk drss clung tightly to her shapely form. Her scarlet lips pouted as she gripped his arm with her well-manicured talons.
Suddenly a gunshot rang out, followed by another. And another.
"Someone is shooting!" cried Jake. Dolores screamed.
At that moment, Sam emerged form the patio doors behind them. His face wore a strange expression, his eyes rolled wildly.
