I look scared

Tinkerni
what do they mean abandoned
leans in closer to the person We just need to know what's going on here. Nobody needs to get hurt. So, can you talk to us or do we have to force our way in?
Tinkerni
scared
The person quickly pulls out a gun and points it at Sam
Tinkerni
I run behind you and grip your shirt tightly

covers my ears
gently takes Tink's hand away from her ears and holds it reassuringly It's going to be okay, Tink. Just keep close to me. turns back to the person Can you put the gun down? We just need some answers.
