Snippet #1675599

Abegail stood in the doorway. Part of her wanted her eyes to adjust to the dark and the other part was perfectly happy not being able to see. "Hello?" Abegailed managed a somewhat loud whisper, hoping to get Philip's attention and potentially scare off anyone else.

Then she heard them, footsteps heading out the back of the house. Her eyes wide Abegail turned and ran out the door and headed to the side of the house intending to make for the back entrance. "What are you doing Abby!! Stay put!" Her brain screamed warning at her but she continued on. For her effort she found herself face to face iwth a black clad man who was in a full run. He growled at her, saying something in German. Abegail managed two steps before the man ran right into her.

The force of the impact tossed Abegail backwards and down at the ground. She found herself on her side, hands in the dirt and briefcase knocked out of her hands and back towards the front of the house. Abegail blinked. Shaking her head she wasn't completely aware of her surrounding. Propping herself onto her hands and knees she started to crawl towards her briefcase. It was in that moment the footsteps registered with her. They were behind her and she didn't know if they were the officers or Walter's. She stopped mid crawl and listened.
