Maria was ducked behind a desk when the shooting started. A set of pale blue eyes and a mop of red hair poked out from behind the desk. She beng unarmed and having no way to help had ducked into the very back of the room. She looked up when the sound of the siren stopped, while she may not have been best friends with the boy she still was worried for Richie. She stood and slowly started to make her way to the back of the building she should be able to make her way up to the roof and check up on him. She only had to make it around back and call up to the roof.<br/><br/>The chunk of the wall being blasted away sent her diving to the floor though. She covered her head with her hands as it quickly sunk in that they were surrounded. She scrambled to her feet and slid over to hide in the corner of the room.
