There was a moment of silence.
Their heads swiveled to see what had happened.
"Mum?" Max looked over and dropped the gun at his feet, tears streaming down his face.
"Oh Max!" Claire ran over and embraced him in hug so tight, he didn't think she would ever let go.
Kelly stood, unable to suppress any words.
They were dead; both of the men lay motionless on the floor. One had a gushing wound in the skull, that still oozed fresh blood. The other shot in the chest, directly at the heart.
"H-how?" Kelly spluttered, still looking at the bodies.
"I don't know." Max said, "it just happened and suddenly they were dead."
"Well the fact that you are okay is all that matters." Claire cried.
"Can we go home now mum, now they are dead?" Max looked up at her.
"Well honey, that is only two of them." She sighed.
Kelly looked up suddenly in realisation.
"Its been three days." She mumbled.
"What sweetie?" Claire whiped away her tears.
"Its been three days." She said louder, "we did it!"
"We won."
