Nights like this are cold but I can't be bothered to feel that way. I sit in my car looking but see nothing. I wait but nothing happens, waiting turns agonizing. I start to get lost in my head. "Did they leave me? No they couldn't have they need me" and "god dammit why am i on look out." I think to myself. I put my head down on the steering wheel, as soon as I relaxed. BRRRING. An alarm goes off and two people run out of the building I was waiting at. "Hurry up woman." the man shouts. They run to the back seat and open the door. Quickly they get in and close the door. As soon as they relax almost in unison they take off their masks. The man has a rough face like cracked roads in an old town. His eyes are dark like the muddy waters of a lake. On the left side of his cheek is a deep scar running down his face. "Let's go son the cops will be here soon." Jake says quickly. The woman next to him starts, "come on honey, he needs to be relaxed or he'll get us caught like you did when he was inside me." She rubs her stomach with a slight smile. She has almost a perfect figure, light brown hair that looks like wet sand. Perfect skin that takes years to have. No blemishes or cuts. Sometimes I wonder what I got from my father. "Yes mom" I say softly. I turn the worn down key quickly. "kch-kch-kch-vrooom" the car starts. Quickly I pull out of the alley way. I keep my head lights off. Jake places his hands on my shoulders with a hard squeeze, "nice job boy we'll be home free in no time." he says in an upbeat tone. Almost instantly red and blue lights shine bright. My heart skips a beat. "shit!" I mutter under my breath. I press the gas pedal as hard as I can. The car shoots forward. "Wheeooawww" the police sirens blare. Jake and mother shout simultaneously but I don't pay attention. A ringing starts to form in my ears and the noises of the sirens start to deafen. My foot quickly presses down on the gas pedal. The car darts passed other vehicles nearly missing a semi truck. We drive far but never escape, every turn leads to another siren. "GOD DAMMIT, we're going to need to go into the old warehouse! We'll lose them on foot." Jake yells with authority; he then starts to whisper to mother. She nods her head while a single tear slides down her left cheek. I turn towards the warehouse trying to gain enough distance between the police and I. After minutes of driving I press hard on the brake pedal and turn the wheel to the right causing the car to stop inches from the warehouse doors. Chi chick. Jake racks the slide of his pistol. He grabs my shoulder with his left hand saying, "boy get your gun" I open the center console of the car. Inside the console is almost an endless amount of paper. I rip out the papers quickly and soon find the weapon. It is cold, colder than outside. It feels as if my hand is going to go numb. I grab it anyway and run towards the door. "Hurry up mother we need to go" I yell as I pull the doors open. "I'm almost there sweety I just need to get the bag" As soon as she gets the bag she runs for the door. Bang Bang. Jake starts to shoot at the police cars that start to pull in. One of his bullets hits an officer on the right shoulder. His screams are blood curdling. He grabs his shoulder but the blood won't stop spewing out. A sickening feeling starts too well up in my chest as Jake grabs me by my collar and pulls me into the warehouse. He locks the door "Chris listen to me your mother is pregnant and needs you to stay behind and take the fall. We will pay your bail after the heat goes down." he says in a soft but harsh tone. I look at my mother but her eyes won't meet mine. "Holy shit im going to be a brother." I think to myself. "ok I'll take the fall you guys get out of here." I said with a shaken voice. "Thank you son, make sure to get their attention" they start to run away, Jake yells at me saying, "we love you bud." I look towards the door, a warm feeling comes across me even though I'll be going to prison but when I get back I'll have a little sibling. I open the door and press down on the trigger of my gun. I don't aim to hit anyone but try to get their attention. I keep shooting. I can hear sounds coming from the police but I can't understand. I just keep shooting. Click. The gun runs out, almost immediately every officer stands up with their weapons armed and shoots. I fell back. A pain worse than I have ever felt before starts to form.i looks down at my body and sees three areas spewing blood. I try to stand but fall immediately. The ringing in my ears starts to slow. The pain slowly gets worse yet I don't mind, I was able to save my mother and father. My mom now can have her child. I do have one regret not being able to see my siblings once they were born. Time starts to slow, the officers start to run towards the open doors. "No, I can't let them in." I think to myself. My hands start to move by themselves. I start pulling myself to the door leaving a trail of blood. The pain starts to ease, my eyes start to go numb. A slow white circle starts to form in the corner of my eyes. "I'm almost there, I can't die yet." My eyes start to blur and my body starts to heat up. I reach towards the door with the little strength I have left. After some trial and error I eventually grabbed the handle. I close the door, locking the door almost instantly. I lay back on the door and look up. My vision has almost fully become blurred. "I did it, I saved my—" my body goes limp.
