Chris kept on working at the bar while someone decided to check on Nicole in the woman's bathroom. It only took thirty seconds before the woman began to call for help. Chris, the bartender, rushed towards the woman and looked in the bathroom to see Nicole on the ground. He didn't care if anyone was in there or not, he ran towards Nicole as he called out her name several times. The customers began to gather around as they wanted to see what was happening. Some of them got out their phones and began filming it while others left the bar. Chris looked at the crowd and shouted towards them, "Won't someone help me carry her?!" 

It wasn't until another man and a woman ran in the bathroom to help. The man got on the other side of Nicole while the woman began to call for an ambulance. On the count of three, they managed to get Nicole from the ground as they carried her out of the bathroom. The customers that had gathered began to move away as the two men tried to set her down on top of the bar counter. The woman, still on the phone, managed to move enough bottles and glasses that Nicole could easily lay down. Chris and the man set her down slowly as the customers were still filming. An ambulance drove pass the bar as its sirens rang out, followed by several police cars. Something crazy was going on. 

Everyone was still looking at the ill woman as Chris started to do CPR on her. "Nicole, please don't do this to me. Think about your kids!" he said to her as he kept going. Then, he heard coughing coming from Nicole and he stopped as her mouth began to move. Nicole's eyes weren't open all the way as she managed to wrap her hand around the back of his head. All of a sudden, she forced his head to come down to her mouth and started to bite into his mouth. Despite his mouth covered, he tried to scream out loud as the other man stepped back to see what was happening. The customers were in shock as some of them started to leave while others were too scared to move. The woman began to yell out for help towards her phone as the dispatcher kept telling her that help was going to be there. Chris kept on 'screaming' as Nicole still held on to his mouth. A moment later, the man forced the woman off of him as a piece of the mouth fell out. 

Chris was now holding his mouth as he started to cry because of the pain. The woman tried to bite into the other man, but he shoved her against the shelves. Bottles began to fall to the ground as the ill woman hit the shelves and fell to the ground as well. The man looked at the crowd and shouted at them, "Get the hell out!"

The crowd began to leave before the woman could get up and start attacking someone else. They were only caring about themselves as they tried to leave the area. Chris looked at everyone as they started to leave and tried to call out for help, but he couldn't because of the pain. The woman on the phone wanted to help out, but she was dragged out by the man. Nicole was trying to get up from the ground. There was enough time that someone could help the bartender get out of harm's way. Or, it was enough time to get out of harm's way without helping the man. Is someone willing to risk their life to help out a caring bartender.

	Jack Elliott finally got back home as he rushed towards the bathroom and started to throw up. It wasn't something that everyone was used to see every day. He was in the bathroom for two minutes until he finally got out to grab something to drink from the kitchen. The remote to the TV was on the table as he grabbed it and turned it on. He wasn't going to be surprised to hear about the shootings in the same area. He grabbed a bottled water and started to drink it as he heard Fox 31 news anchors talking about the breaking news story. The nation had now heard about the shootings in Baltham and Bainbridge Island. Twitter and other social media sites are blowing up with hashtags like "#Baltham" and "#PrayforBaltham." 

Washington's governor, Robin Medina, told everyone in a press conference that government officials are looking into the shootings; however, he wasn't going to issue a state of emergency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a statement that said they were going to take "a closer look as those cases in the coming days." The White House and other government officials haven't commented yet.

Jack watched the television as the anchors kept on talking until his phone rang out. He thought that it was finally Valerie, but it was Dustin. He picked up the phone and walked towards the living room as he placed the remote on the coffee table and answered the call. "Hey, man. How are you doing?" he asked Dustin.

"Shouldn't I ask you that?" Dustin dodged the question.

"Well, I did throw up as soon as I came home. Overall, I am fine now that I drank some water." he answered as he was still watching the news. "Are you watching the news?"

"No, why?" Dustin asked his pal. 

"Well, the entire nation knows about the shootings now. Twitter is freaking out as usual and other shit is going on as well." he told Dustin all of that as he started to look at the television. A commercial about the ‘latest phone’ started as Jack was still talking to Dustin. “Yeah, this should blow over soon enough. Why did you call me by the way?”

“I just wanted to see if you were alright.” Dustin quickly said to Jack, “Anyway, I will let you take a nap or whatever you were doing. Call me if something comes up.”

“Will do.” Jack said as they said their goodbyes and hung up as he put his phone on the coffee table. He lay down on the couch and started to take a nap before he began to work on the computer. Maybe Valerie would finally call back once he woke up. He knew that the crazy shit that happened today was finally over with. The government was going to do what they usually do and solve the shootings in the matter of days. He didn’t know what was going to happen, but he was thankful that it was finally over. His eyes shut as he was finally taking a well needed nap.
