The airport is always flogged with people, it is ridiculous the amount of noise in this place, and its early too, well early to me.

Some strange movement next to the check in caught Mitch's attention.

"Hey... guys... I think there's something wrong there" he said uncertainly, attracting the curiosity from the group which now shrank to see anything unusual coming from the front of the queue.

"I don't think I see any... " Kevin began to say, but was soon interrupted by a shrill scream that startled us all as well as a lot of other people around us, opening a fearful circle of people around a particular individual, who now threw orders at the crowd.

"Shut up, everyone! I want absolutely no movement" the man said shakily, seeming insecure about his own words.

The guy was tall, a bit muscular but kinda messy and dirty, with baggy clothes hanging from his body. The appearance was very similar to a Filipino, but I wasn't so sure about it. He had a thick cap, covering his buzz uneven cut, and only an ugly careless beard was visible on his face. I couldn't see very well, but what I saw was enough to pull Kevin cautiously to my side, blocking Esther and Kirstie who were behind us. His large clothes could be hiding another weapon, besides the one he had in hand, and I don't think that me, or any other guy here would risk to stop him. The man was crazy.

A bullet fell to the ground, barely audible, and both, the woman and I looked in the same direction. She then met my eyes, and I feared then. There was menace in the way she watched me, and I swear I saw her white teeth clench her lips in an angry gesture. I cursed myself for, under an extreme circumstance like this, feel uncontrollably drawn to the lush sensuality of the girl. Turning her eyes to the bullet, she kicked the object in my direction replacing the empty gun for some clip at her hand. How did it get there? While I wondered, she looked back at me, almost ordering something. Without looking the piece of iron, I got the message, and the pushed it to Kevin's back, who nudged me.
