<span style="font-size: 15px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">Rosalie was so confused about what was going on, why the men were here, how and why George owed them money... Owed them anything at all. He was always sure to pay people back, always made sure his debts weren't around for long... How had this happened...<br/>
<br/>
Fear was installed in her as another man blocked her only exit, heart racing and breathing becoming labored, the fear only increasing as the gun was removed and pointed at her pseudo-father's chest, and then his head. She jolted as the argument seemed to come to an end and the shop owner thrusted his first up into the leader's sensitive spot and rounds of fire rung off.<br/>
<br/>
At first, there was nothing and George was fine, but then hia death was clear by the pool of blood that soaked his torn and limp body, hot tears forming in her eyes and streaming down her face. She practically felt her heart shatter inside of her and stab at other vital organs. The day had been a good one, lots of business, and somehow ended with the death of her beloved second father.<br/>
<br/>
Rose's hands shook, the left lifting to cover her mouth. She only snapped out of it when the man who had blocked the exit seemed to come toward her as if to take a hostage. Adrenaline pumping, the woman grabbed a pizza pan from the counter and used the edge to swing it at his face. The metallic mixed with fleshy sound was repulsive, causing her to momentarily convulse before she stumbled towards the exit, passed the unconscious bodyguard and into the back alley.<br/>
<br/>
The night air was cold now, shocking her into action. She ran, not towards the front of the store, but ti the ladder above the dumpster. Rosalie climbed it, onto the roof and then hoisting herself into the next taller building and dead sprinting across it, leaping to the next roof. Her landing was rough, knocking the wind from her as she glanced over the side and watched men running below, silent to not cause too much comotion but definitely following her.<br/>
<br/>
Rose's find raced, the scene of George getting mutilated by the bullets playing over and over in her mind and finally causing her to stumble on one of her jumps, tripping into another alley and landing in a dumpster with a whimpered groan, barely managing to pull herself out and keep going, weaving through the system of alley ways </span></span>
