I gasped as I jumped off my bed and ran to my door, flinging it open.

The gunshots had sounded like they were coming from outside.

As I ran down the hall I screamed out my moms name and then Harry's name, and when I turned a corner two arms grabbed me and pulled me back, a hand covering my mouth as I screamed.

"It's me, it's me!" Harry's voice hissed in my ear.

"What's happening?" I turned around in his arms to look at him.

"I don't know." He said.

"Emma?!" I then heard my mom yelling for me.

"I'm upstairs!" I yelled back and not moments later she came running down the hallway.

"Harry what is happening?" She looked at him with wide eyes.

"I'm trying to find out." He said as he typed like a mad man on his phone.

I held onto my mom, scared of what was happening.

"Okay there was a car that drove by the house and shot at it. They already have it pulled over and the people inside are in custody." Harry read aloud.

"Why are they shooting at us?" My mom asked.

"I don't know. That's all the information i've been given." He shook his head.

"Why does everyone hate us?" I turned my face into my moms neck as she hugged me.

"I don't know, sweetheart."

"I need to move you guys away from the windows, just as a precaution." Harry said and moved us to the lounge room since it didn't have any windows.

My mom and I sat down on one of the couches while Harry got on his phone again to get more information.

I laid down on my moms lap, watching as Harry paced the length of the room while he spoke quietly into his phone.

After a few minutes he hung up and turned around to face us.

"I've been given an all clear. You're free to move around the house as you please." Harry said. "The men are gone and are being taken to be interviewed by the FBI to see if they can find connections between them and the RR."

"They might have caught the RR?"

"If they did they caught low ranking members at most. No one obviously smart or important since this was an awful plan to cause damage. They shot at a brick house from half a mile away."

I shook my head.

"What if it had been worse?"

"It wasn't." Harry said. "This was a botched attempt, they didn't win."

I nervously nodded.

"Thank you, Harry. And Emma, I'm going to go call your father." My mom said to me and stood so she could leave, and I stood up as well.
