[b]Abram - The Mall - Magnus/Samantha[/b]

The man's words didn't bode well with Abram. He had backed himself and Samantha into the store and peeked from behind his cover, enough to hold gaze with the man. Silence fell over the place as Abram mapped out his plan. The back door - their only chance of escape - was about twenty feet away. It was obvious what these guys wanted, and Abram was positive that their survival wasn't ensured if they went along. 

Abram glanced at his pistol, then to one of the armed men. Their positions worked slightly to his advantage. They flank the left and right sides, but they weren't actually [i]surrounding[/i] them. Barely audible, he whispered to Sam. "When I give you the signal, run for the back door." He silently slid the car keys to her. "Start it so that when I jump in, we you can drive us out of here." 

His plan unraveled perfectly. He fired a shot at the nearest gunman, and gave Samantha a hard shove towards the door. All the men recoiled and hit the floor. He was close behind her as they burst into the back room. He slammed the door to the back room shut, locking it. "Go!" He shouted, but Sam was already out the door. 

He heard the car start up and he bolted out after her. He jumped into the passengers seat. "Go, we shouldn't have to reroute if we can get out of here before the see where we went."
