[b] Daniel - Haywood [/b] 

Daniel was astounded when Lauren bolted out of the building, drawing a gun. Where had she gotten a gun? He turned his rifle towards the men as Lauren ran out screaming. It all happened quickly. Lauren went down, earning a scream from Katie. "No!" He shouted. He brought his rifle up, but Shannon tore from Katie's side, closing the gap between her and Tyler's men. What on god's green earth was she doing? "Shannon!" He barked, but she ignored him. She looked at one of the men, and said, "Danny..." Daniel's eyebrows creased, since when he she ever called him Danny? 

It was then that the man responded. "Shannon..." Daniel realized that Shannon hadn't been talking to him, she'd been talking to Tyler's man; she knew him. This day was getting stranger and stranger by the second. In a quick move, Shannon reached for a gun on the ground, but a shot rang out and Shannon cried out in pain. Daniel swore and busted out of the door, into the yard and drew his rifle towards the bandits. Shannon wasn't hurt too bad, as she recovered quickly. The man whom she'd reffered to as "Danny" quickly jumped to her aid, pulling her into the house. He thanked whatever God was watching over her, and returned his attention to tyler.

Tyler announced that he would retrieve his daughter without intervention, or he'd kill Emma. Daniel was helpless to do anything, so he just watched as the man went up to Katie and picked her up, carrying her back to her father. Daniel swore silently. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't fight back or Tyler would kill Emma, and he couldn't just let this monster take that little back.
