Ted and jones had just got up and were heading to Leticia's room when a loud bang came from the front door. Suddenly a group of men appeared and opened fire. Ted and jones took cover behind a corner. They were in the hallway that led to the room Leticia was in. They would peek around the corner and fire a couple shots every now and then only to immediately duck back into cover. With this ted and jones were able to keep them from advancing but this situation would not last.
* Alright jones, I want you to head towards Leticia's room. I'll keep you covered and be right behind you so when you reach her room go to the window and leave through it.* said ted
Jones looked at ted. He knew what he was planning and as much as he didn't like it he could not think up another way. Well one that didn't come to the worst outcome possible. Jones nodded while wearing a grim face then turned and ran down the hall. Behind him he could hear constant gunfire. He reached out to the handle of the door and quickly opened it. He took a quick glance at Leticia noting how she was sitting up on the bed then slammed the door.
He ran towards the window and opened it. As soon as it was fully opened he realized how quiet it was. He turned pointing his gun at the door and fired a few shots at it. A scream rang up from the other side and jones grabbed Leticia.
* WAIT!! WHAT ABOUT TED!?* Leticia screamed
* HE BOUGHT US TIME!!* jones quickly answered
He dragged Leticia out the window and took off. He first checked if he could use his car but when he reached it he noticed all the tires were flat. With no other choice he took off down the street. While inside the house a cop was walking down a hallway passing by a corpse that used to be the owner of this house. He was currently leading his little group of gang bangers one of which was bleeding from his upper leg towards the door after it went silent a few minutes ago.
He kicked the door in to enter a empty room and a open window.
* Quickly get the cars and find them!* the cop said
Soon they were in their cars ready to look for the lost lambs. Meanwhile a few blocks away jones and Leticia were cutting through a backyard. The whole neighborhood was a peaceful suburb where at this time everyone was either asleep or doing the night shift. Basically it's the equivalent of a ghost town and thanks to this no one was noticing what was happening. The backyard they were in was littered with outdoor toys for kids so it took a minute to not trip over something and make noise.

They exited into a alleyway that was illuminated by a few wooden light posts. Jones looked left and right trying to figure out which way to go. When the sound of screeching tires drew his attention. A car stopped on the left and was starting to turn into the alleyway. Jones with Leticia ran to the right side in a full on sprint. But the sound of rubber told him he would not make it to the other end. He took out his gun turned around and fired at the oncoming car.
He fired off four bullets before a series of clicks came from the gun. Two bullets hit the grille ,one missed, while the last went through the window on the drivers side. The car took a sharp turn and crashed into a wooden light post, knocking it over. The post went into somebody's backyard creating enough racket to wake anyone within 5 blocks. Jones realized the situation got a whole lot worse because of this.
Everytime criminals are trying to get away with a crime, something that draws attention towards them causes them to panic and try to quickly finish what they were doing. He once again turned to run when a loud bang was heard and a lot of force went through his lower back. He had been shot by one of the people in the car that just crashed. Then another car came from the other end of the alleyway. Jones was looking at the desperate situation they were in. Then he coughed for a second and realized blood was mixed in. The bullet must have knocked his lung which was basically the cherry on the sundae that was this situation.
He desperately looked around for something he could use to help them. He noticed a manhole nearby which gave him an idea that had a chance of succeeding. He ran to the manhole coughing when he stopped and tried to open it. It would not budge though. He looked around real quick seeing Leticia was in a daze, the car getting closer, and people coming out of the wrecked car. He tried to move the manhole again putting his all into it. Whether it was natural strength or adrenaline he finally moved the lid to the side. But it wasn't completely open the entrance was just small enough that his frame wouldn't fit in it.
But Leticia could probably squeeze through was the thought that went through jones mind as he looked at her build.
* Leticia, listen to me! I need you to go down the hole.* jones said
* But ...what about you?* Leticia asked
* Don't worry. I'll be right behind you.* jones said with a smile
He laughed on the inside at how he and ted were so similar. Leticia nodded and began squeezing through the hole. The car that was coming at them quickly sped up when they realized what was going on. Leticia was up to her chest when it was 20 ft away, it was 10 ft when she fit her shoulders in. When her head went down the hole the car was right in front of jones. She saw jones give her a smile before the car passed over the hole and he was gone. Leticia was frozen there for a second.
* RUN YOU IDIOT!!!* the bunny yelled
Leticia soon returned to her senses and quickly slid down to the tunnels and took off running. She ran and ran turning left and right and straight ahead. After half an hour of running she slowed to a stop to catch her breath. She didn't smell anything due to her going nose blind a while back. She turned to the bunny that was in a hazmat suit and asked.
* What now?*
The bunny grinned and replied.
* I will tell you what we do now*
The bunny then began telling Leticia what she should do from now on.
* The next night*
At a cheap hotel that people would bring a street whore too one door was slightly ajar. Inside was two bodies that were damaged to a gory state. Their limbs were chopped into 13 pieces which were currently all over the room. On their backs were doodles of bunny's, cat's and anything cuddly. The chests were shredded open with the organs strewn all about the room. In the bathroom was a young woman with light purple hair and pinkish red eyes who was scrubbing off a layer of crud that she picked up from under the streets in the shower.
