"No Ryk-" I started but he reached across the table and grabbed my hands in his. "Rain," He stopped me with his eyes boring into mine "Nothing's going to happen."

You know that feeling in the bottom of your stomach where it feels like a pit, or the back of your head with the voice telling you something's wrong, or your muscles becoming tense and telling you to leave? Well I had that right now, and there was definitely something about that man.

The waitress came back with our drinks, and took our orders quickly. "You'd tell your dad about the whole moving out thing?" Ryker asked.

"Well.." I trailed off, spinning my drink around with my straw "Not exactly.." "Not exactly?" He questioned, cocking an eyebrow at me. "We talked about me moving out and getting an apartment with Liz..but I didn't exactly tell him about us yet.."

Ryker rolled his eyes at me and I defended "Hey! It's kinda hard to tell your dad that at 18 and still in High School you're moving in with your 20 year old boyfriend, who has a prison record and whom he hates."

"Oh come on," Ryker leaned back in the booth "Your dad loves me." "Yeah, loves the idea of shooting you," I narrowed my eyes. Ryker rolled his eyes again and sent me a look "Well I don't really care about being worthy enough for an abusive Bastard."

"He hasn't laid a hand on me in months, he's trying Ryk," I admitted "He really is." "Good because he lays one goddamn finger on you, and I swear to God Rain-I'll shoot him," Ryker warned.

"Speaking of shooting people.." I trailed off "Faith has a date with this guy and I bought her this dress..now it's not exactly something you'd approve up, but just let her live a little."

"Rain-" Ryker started, but was quickly cut off when the door bursted open and a man yelled "Everybody get down!" With a gun pointed out in his hands, and a mask over his face but he had the body structure of maybe 40's or 50's.

My eyes snapped over to Ryker and he quickly pushed me down to the ground and under the booth as he got down and so did everyone else. He quickly took out a glock he had on his side and my eyes widened as he slapped a mag into the gun, as a bullet loaded into the chamber.

"Ha, you really got something coming if you think you're getting up right now," I commented as I sent him a look. "Rain," He warned "I can handle myself."

"He has a gun!" I exclaimed in a whisper. "And so do I," Ryker retorted and the guy walked up to the man that was staring at me from earlier. Ryker went to get up, but I grabbed his hand.

"Ryk Please," I whispered with my grip tightening on his hand in fear my boyfriend could be killed at this very moment. He sighed and pressed his lips to mine, cupping my cheek with his free hand.

"I love you," He whispered and my forehead rested his forehead against mine. "Everyone stay down!" The man yelled again, and he pointed the gun out at a little crying girl. "Stand up," He ordered her and I saw the little girl with long blond hair and hazel eyes stand up.

My eyes went wide, and I froze "Phoenix." My head snapped back to Ryker "That's Jame's daughter; Phoenix. Ryker we have to get her."

"Where's your parents?" The man asked her as he knelt down to her height. "I-I don't know," She whispered with tears in her eyes. The man's lips tugged up into smirk as he raised the gun from his side and pointed it at Phoenix.

I grabbed a sharp kitchen knife from the top of the table and quickly got out from underneath the table. "Back away from kid!" I yelled, make all attention go towards me.

The man slowly stood up, before walking up to me. "I don't know who you think you are sweetheart," He said, and quickly pushed me back up against a wall and turned the knife around on my neck "But you better learn your place."

The knife dug into my skin, and the man raised the gun to the side of my head "Looks like you're going to be the first to go." I kept his glare, when Ryker quickly pulled him off me and slammed him into the counter before throwing a punch into his jaw, and pushing him so far he went over the counter and knocked down a bunch of glasses.

I quickly ran over to Phoenix where she was crying in between a group of strangers sobbing her eyes out. I knelt down to her and said to the lady that was comforting Phoenix. "Phoenix," I spoke and she looked up at me with tears streaming down her face "Come with me, will find your daddy."

"I'm a friend of her dad, I'm not a stranger
