[b]Shannon - Inside The Building - Daniel & James[/b]

The clip landed in her lap. She had went out of her way to not try and catch it, even though she realized it was a pretty meaningless act of defiance. Her eyes met Daniel's as she stuffed the spare ammo in her pack. "Keep away from the window, James," she said, gathering the energy to lift herself to her feet. The guys were right about having to move quickly, but Shannon felt sluggish and gross. She adjusted her belongings as fast as she could, though it was a monumentally slow process to anyone watching her. She stuffed the police baton in her backpack and shrugged it on. She kept the gun held tightly in her hands.

"Okay then, Daniel." [i]Daniel.[/i] It bugged her that this guy's name was Daniel. That was Danny's name, and a childish part of Shannon didn't want anyone else to have it. The man before her simply wasn't [i]her[/i] Daniel. "My name's Shannon." She hesitated slightly before putting an arm around James. She was going to have to play being a mother for at least a while. Christ.

"If you... If you fuck us, I'll kill you." It probably wasn't the time to swear, but Shannon was in no mood for niceties. "Just get us out of here."
