Improved Essays
Kyle looked up at him again and realized that he would stand his ground until the end, and that wasn’t a fight that Kyle was ready for.

With one final measure he flicked the lighter and with the flame still ignited, he threw it into the center of a deep pool of gas. He began to slip out the door again, as the entire place caught flame.
Sirens could loudly be heard in the distance, and Kyle began to run back to his car. Once inside he frantically turned the key over, only to hear the silence as the battery didn’t click on. It was dead, and now so was he. Kyle leaned his head back against the head rest as two cop cars swung into the parking

The woman driving was sort of visible, he could at least tell that she had long hair, but it could have been anywhere from red to blonde to green for all he knew. She appeared to be talking animatedly on her phone, and she looked upset. But then, she looked up to Reese and offered him a watery grin, beckoning him towards her car with a wave.…
