Malik was done with his workout as he had another spare of clothing as he changed before Ari came down stairs. He still had his shirt off but he watched when she came down and it was a little amusing how she was sneaking outside like a child who was forbidden from going outside, hoping her parents wouldn't see. 

After bringing in the sign and putting it up while locking the front door, Malik smirked [color=007236]Must've slept good.[/color] but the smirk went away when Ari called for him as he could hear a vehicle outside. Malik went to check and seeing how frantic Ari was acting, Malik wondered whether they should fight or run. He didn't know how Ari would act if she saw him in action but then again, would they be able to get out of there without being seen? [color=007236]Shit....[/color]

When she asked for the gun and said there were looters, Malik went to get her gun off the counter and tossed it to her as he pulled out his gun that had enough ammo for to empty out his gun twice. Malik went to grab his blades and slid the handles on the back of his pants. He looked back [color=007236]Ari...I'll tell you now....if the house is surrounded....we may have to fight it out but if we have an opening, we can run. If they manage to break in, I'll make a pathway for you and cover you until you're gone and I'll be behind shortly...okay? Whatever you do, don't look back if you hear a gun fight...[/color] Setting up [color=007236]Maybe you should stand back and let me be the front line...[/color] He initiated as if a protecting husband.
