12 MinutesThis is a featured page

(Working title)

I would like to say first, that if you are under 18(Or whatever the age in your area is), or immature you should not read this.
Also, please tell me what you think, this is the first story I have ever written without being told to by a teacher or something.

Chapter 1 - The Office
I stood up and headed towards the bathroom. As I walk to the bathroom I glance at my watch, a quarter to seven. I think to myself as I slide into the bathroom. I turn on the sink and splash some water onto my face. I stare into the mirror and contemplate what to do after work. After about a minute I quickly dry my hands and head out the door and back to my tiny cubicle. I slide into my seat and go back to typing at the computer, yet another financial report. As I type up the final numbers I hit the print button and linger for a moment before heading to the floor's printer. As I head toward the printer, I notice Angelina standing near the printer, "Must me my lucky day," I think to myself as I smile and wave to her.

"Hey there." She smiles, as I aproach.

"Hey." I greet back as I glance at the printer, I notice there are no papers waiting for me. "Something wrong with the printer?" I ask her.

"Yeah, it's not printing or something. Which sucks because I really need my report." She says anxiously, as she fiddles with her golden blond hair.

"I'll go ask the tech guys to take a look at it." I assure as I turn and head for the third floor.

I head for the tech department passing office after office. I slide into the tech department and head over to the desk.

"Hi, the printer upstairs isn't printing." I inform the stereotypical geek standing behind the counter. His name tag reads Martin and he has glasses that would make most computer dorks blush. "Could you come take a look at it if you get the chance?"

"Yeah, sure." Martin says, and starts typing something.

After waiting for at least fifteen minutes he comes around the counter. "Lead the way." He gestures, I head back up to the sixth floor with Martin following close behind. We reach the sixth floor and head back towards the printer. Angelina, still waiting at the printer smiles as we approach.

"What are you doing this weekend?" I ask Angelina as we wait for the printer to be fixed.

"I was going to hang out with my girlfriends, but they called and said they couldn't make it." She said with a tone of resentment.

"Oh, that's a bummer." I say trying to sound like it's a bad thing, but secretly I want to jump up and shout yes at the top of my lungs, "Well, I was planning on going out to eat, would you like to join me?"

"Sure, what time?" She asked.

"I'll call you." I reply merrily.

I turn around and see Martin fidgeting with the machine, I can't help but wonder how he ended up doing what he does. Maybe he was picked on in school for being a geek. I glance back at Angelina who is now half way back to her desk. She has only worked here for a month and we are always flirting, but I had never gotten up the nerve to ask her out. And now I had, and she had said yes.

Chapter 2 - The Date
I drive up to the address, and turn off the engine. I take one last glance in the mirror and smell my breath. I climb out of the car and head up the stairs. I press the little black buzzer button next to the intercom.

"Hello?" Angelina's voice comes out of the little speaker.

"Hey, it's me, Anthony." I say into the speaker.

"Oh, hey, I'll be right down." She replies.

I lean against the building waiting for her to come down. As I watch cars drive by I notice a squad car drive down the street then suddenly flip his sirens on and flip the car around and speed down the street. As I wonder what call he had receive the door behind me opens up. I turn around and see a little old lady waddle out of the building, I turn back and continue watching cars.

What seemed like ages later, Angelina came out dressed in a dark blue dress. She had makeup on, something I hadn't seen her do in the office. And she was wearing her hair in a ponytail.

"Wow!" I exclaim, "You look beautiful."

"Thanks!" She blushed.

I take her hand and lead her down the stairs down to the waiting car. As I open her door she glances down the street in the direction the police car had sped towards. I glance down the street as well, and notice a large crowd gathering down a side street. She climbs in and I close the door behind her and walk around to the other side. I climb in and start the car, as I pull into the street I hear a bang and the crowd starts scattering. I notice people attacking each other and several people beating an officer.

"Oh my god!" Angelina exclaimed and gestured towards the officer.

I pull the car over and reach into the glovebox, pulling out a 9mm berretta, I step out of my car and head toward the downed officer.

"Get away from him!" I shout, but to no avail. The mod continued attacking the officer. I pointed my gun in the air but suddenly several people turn towards me with a look of evil in their eyes.

I stand there for a few seconds shocked at the amount of blood soaked into their clothing. Suddenly the bolt at me running as if I'd done some horrible unforgivable act. I point the gun at them and command them to stop but they are on my to fast and I am pinned to the ground. I push one off me only to have him replaced by two more. I punch and kick but they seem to just not care.

I manage to get away for a few seconds and with the gun laying a few feet away I run for the car but they grab at my feet and I fall. I look toward the car and notice the door open and Angelina no where to be found. I spin onto my back putting all my force into a punch, knocking some guy off me and onto the ground. I crawl as fast as I can towards the gun but they just weigh to much. Suddenly I hear gunfire and several of the people jump up and run down the street. I look down the street and notice a SWAT truck and a group of people firing into the crowd. I jump up, trying to get away from the crazed group. Suddenly I feel a sharp stinging pain in my abdomen. I look down and notice my shirt covered in blood. I run down the street holding my stomach and wishing the pain would just go away. I head into an alley and hide behind a dumpster.
