15mins to write, 2hrs to edit :(

I hunkered down behind the row of parked cars on the empty street. I glanced up and down the street before slamming the butt of my 9mm glock in to the window shattering it on impact. I ducked down and held my breath. Listening intently for any sounds but it was dead silent. Reaching a hand up I popped the lock and opened the door slowly trying my best to be as quiet as I can be. I started to search the car. First the glove box rifling through loose papers. I moved on to the visors were a set of keys fell out as I moved one of them. I counted my search moving to between the seats.

Hump...Hump...Hump...

My heart stopped at the sudden sound coming from the end of the block. I peered over the dash my eyes looking for any sign of where the thing was. I slid the key in to the starter. The soft click seemed to fill the car as I turned it back. Praying that there was still battery power to run the radio. I flipped it on and with a quick spin of the volume nob the white notice of static filled the car and poured in to the street. I leaped out of the car towards a row of bushes along the sidewalk. Just barely getting undercover as the sound of the heavy footsteps of something running stopped behind me. The rower was deafening. The ground shuck as the car behind began to be pummeled with furious blows. The breaking of glass and crunching of metal filled the air. The whole time the sound of the radio could be heard. then it slowly became distant and disappeared all together.
