Mr. Anderson: Pushing chairs against the door Stay calm kids, we’re gonna be okay, alright?
grabs a nearby table and pushes it over, creating a barricade Alright, kids, we need to stay low and quiet. No one goes out until I say so. Got it?
takes out a pocket knife and hides it behind his back Keep your eyes peeled, kids.
I hear something and look at the door
snarls Stay close, kids! We can't let anyone get past this barricade. If you see anything suspicious, give me a sign.
steps forward, brandishing the pocket knife Who's there?! Show yourself, or I'll tear you apart!
quickly assesses the situation, then notices WaterfallMystic's hesitation Hey, what's wrong? You see something? Good, stay alert. Kids, stay behind me!
squints suspiciously Just a kid, huh? Well, if that "kid" is the shooter, I won't hesitate to put a bullet between their eyes.
no I push the child behind me
narrows his eyes at the child Alright, "kid," if you think you can walk in here and cause trouble, you've got another thing coming.
hey man she’s just a little kid don’t be mean
lowers his voice, trying to de-escalate the situation Look, I understand you might be scared or confused, but this isn't a game, alright?
I turn to the child hey kiddo what are you doing here
leans in closer to the child, speaking in a low, serious tone Listen, buddy, I don't know what you're thinking, but this isn't a place for kids.
I pick the child up let’s go
nods approvingly Good call, WaterfallMystic. Let's get this kid out of harm's way. starts walking towards the exit with WaterfallMystic and the child
whisking the child away from the danger zone Alright, listen up, you little munchkin. I don't know what kind of game you're playing at, but this ain't a joke. You're lucky WaterfallMystic and I were here to save your sorry ass. So here's what's gonna happen: you're gonna tell me exactly what you were doing in that school, and then you're gonna come with me. Got it?
yeah man she was just left therelooks at the child
squints suspiciously at the child Left there, huh? That doesn't sound right. Alright, young'un, I'm gonna need you to spill the beans. Who dropped you off here?
quickly grabs WaterfallMystic's phone and answers it Hold on, let me see who's calling. puts the phone to his ear Hello? Is this WaterfallMystic?
