Officer Jamie then turned to the mayor. “Mayor, why don't we just kill him once and for all? All it takes is a bullet to his head and he will be gone.”Mayor Carney erupted into laughter. “Haha, don't worry, that will come very soon but I have to see him suffer a little more. After everything that he has done, he knows himself that he shouldn't be alive.”“Or don't you?” Mayor Carney turned to a writhing Alan.“Come on, answer me. Don't you think that you shouldn’t be spared,” Mayor Carney nudged his ears closer to Alan, mocking him with his situation.Alan’s body convulsed and shuddered with agony as the situation was getting too difficult for him to bear. He had heard the brief conversation between Mayor Carney and Officer Jamie and he could already suspect that he was close to being killed.Other officers were there and all of them were against him - he had been trapped.The mayor’s voice dripped with contempt as he spoke to Alan. “Oh, now you are so weak you can't come up with an

“I heard him yelling just a couple of minutes ago and suddenly his voice went still. There was no sign of him again.”Officer Jamie knew that Olaf meant a lot to his colleague - they were close friends and he knew that there was no way that he was going to be happy knowing that Olaf was dead.But he had to still encourage the officer. If they were going to get out of the van compartment which with each moment started becoming increasingly true that they were being trapped, they had to get rid of all of their anxieties.“Come on, that’s no sign that he is dead,” Officer Jamie encouraged. “What if he found a safe place to hide instead and is hoping that we could come up with something.”“In any case, if you are not so much of a fan of the first idea, we could use the smoke grenade to create a dense cloud of cover. That would make it much harder for them to hit us.”The officer’s eyes brightened at Officer Jamie’s second idea. “Yesh, I think that’s a good idea.”Officer Jamie continued.

“I’ll take the north side. Stay low and keep moving. “Alright, heading west to flank them.”“South side is covered. I am going east to fire from there.”The grenade strategy worked to a considerable extent as the passage through which the shooters were supposed to get a clear sight was blocked. The officers quickly took their positions, Mayor Carney included.Even though the mayor was a little less sharp than the others, he was still very efficient as he held onto a weak Alan. He had already made sure that Alan was cuffed to prevent any resistance from him so there was barely anything Alan could do in that moment.Mayor Carney held onto Alan, his voice threatening and hovering over him as he spoke while taking a good position behind the van. “Oh, here you go. You think that you can distort what is going on?”“You think your men can do something about this? You are the one who would end up getting your head blown out by one of these bullets.”“That’s one of the ways to get you kille

As if Jamie didn't already know that he had been compromised. They were already getting closer and even falling back was going to be very difficult.Officer Jamie spoke back into his radio transmitter. “I’m trapped Nath, I can't get out. The shooters are closing in.”“Just hold your position. Don't allow them to compromise our operation. Just keep your head low.”Jamie just couldn't help but wonder how exactly he was going to do that. How could he possibly leave there without getting his position compromised?Officer Jamie spoke back into the radio, his voice still filled with intense worry. “Are you coming out here or what? How many of us are still alive?”“Just stay calm and don't compromise your position, Jamie.”“I am doing my best, Nath. But I am taking heavy gunfire out here. I don't know how long I can hold out.”“I get you. There are just three left, maybe four I think. But you are our last line of defense against this threat. If you fall, we all fall. You have to stay focused

His ears nudged closer to the radio but he got no response.He spoke into the radio again. “Hello, this is Officer Jamie, requesting support! I am under heavy fire. I need help. Is anyone there?”Officer Jamie’s legs trembled with a horrified shake of fear. That felt like a situation where he was deserted or was he in a dream? He was definitely not. In fact, he was probably close to death.His teeth grounded with frustration as he picked up the radio again. He was going to try one last time before taking the next step.His voice was louder this time. “Is anyone still alive out there? I’m begging you if there is anyone out there. I need your help. I am out of bullets and I can’t hold them off any longer.”There was a deafening silence at the other end.Officer Jamie slumped against the wall, his body heavy and defeated as he let the radio fall from his grasp. He knew that no one was going to come save him this time. Everyone else was either dead or had run away. If he had known, he p

“I am sorry sir,” The attendant, a young man in his 20s responded. “It’s just that we don’t have any more beverages.”“What’s going on here?” The man scoffed. “What do you mean by that? I suggest you check well. I am not leaving here without my beverages.”The attendant, even though he was quite sure that there was no longer any beverage left went ahead to check if he would find some beverage. He fumbled the cart of products as if he were going to find some beverage. He did that just to let the man believe that he had tried his best to find the beverage and it wasn’t like he wasn’t serious about helping him find the beverages.The attendant soon returned to tell the man the situation. “Sir, I have checked. I had to pull down a lot of things to make sure that I find even if it is just one but we are out of stock like I said earlier.”“Nah! You can’t tell me that. I was planning on buying three dozen,” the man insisted.The attendant’s hands grasped in a frantic struggle of confusion a

But Alan saw the man stretching something that looked like a card or a photograph to the attendant and he decided that he was going to step back for a while and see how everything played out.The man slid a photograph across the counter, his hands moving with a deliberate, calculating stealth as he positioned it for the attendant to see.“Take a good look at this, you recognize what it is?”The attendant’s eyes widened as he stared down at the incriminating image. It was evidence of fraud at his former workplace. He thought that he had buried all the paperwork that linked him to the crime but there the photograph was, showing him everything that he thought he had burnt.How did the evidence get to him? What kind of a man was he really?His fear left him feeling like he was standing on the brink of disaster.The attendant gulped nervously, his eyes blinking nervously. “Erm, I am not sure that I recognize what it is.”The man grinned maliciously. “Uh, oh. But I am sure you know what it

The man’s nostrils flared with a dangerous flare of fury as his fists clenched with a dangerous grip of fury. “You insolent little punk! You are lucky I don’t—”The other customers in the hall edged towards the exit, their apprehension and disgust a potent force as they escaped the scene of the violence.Alan who was watching from a distance this time shook his head at how everyone, instead of helping the little boy who was being bullied, left the store like cowards.Couldn’t no one develop the guts to speak up against the injustice that was being done against the boy? Didn’t no one have the courage or was no one seeing what was going on with the boy?The customers had seen enough and were leaving with exhaustion.“I think we should leave. This is getting out of hand.”“I agree. I don’t want to be caught in the middle of this.”“I mean, this is just too much drama for me. Now he’s screaming at the little boy. He must be sick in the head.”“Yeah, I believe that he definitely needs medi

He was in a hurry to get things done quickly because he knew that it was going to be only a matter of time before the guards would discover that the public service system had been hacked.“When you get on the other side of the purple fence, just hang in there until we come to get you okay?”Jackson’s hands were large and measured, his touch gentle as he took Brody’s hands into his own.“Come on, I will show you the way and then you will complete the move,” Jackson’s voice was soft, his voice sincere as he was careful not to scare the boy with too much haste even though he was in a hurry and rightfully so.They crept until they got to the entrance which was just a few meters away from where they were. Jackson’s eyes were alert as he watched to see that there was no guard close to them that would impede their move.They hid behind the cars, creeping through the shadows with their eyes narrowed with a tense intent to get as far away from view as possible.Jackson then reached a point whe

“Come on, let’s go. We can't just sit here and do nothing after all. We have to do something.”With a grim determination, the guards all filed out of the lobby one after the other, their footsteps resounding through the empty hallways.The tension was palpable in the air as their weapons glinted in the harsh fluorescent light.Their bodies were taut with adrenaline as they headed towards their destination.Alan’s face glimmered with a relieved twinkle of gratitude the moment he saw that the guards had all gone.He then whispered to Jackson. “Hey, Jackson. Call Fred now and tell him to his way to the purple fence area. That’s the easiest route out of here. Tell him to get there as quickly as possible. That’s where Brody would have to go meet him.”Brody was confused, his face darting left and right as he was trying to understand what Alan was saying.Where was he saying that he was going to go? Since when did the plan become that he was going to go somewhere?Alan crouched down, his fa

“No one, I believe. You see what I am saying. What if they already got past this place and they are already heading outside.”“Think about it, I don’t think they would want to escape through the outside. Look at the way that they came in. We didn’t even know. None of us knew until they got to the top floor and killed two guards.”“It’s obvious they are trained so we have to think along the line of the fact that they are more than prepared for this.”“They probably outlined every step of the way before they came.”“Not probably, man. They did, it’s quite obvious.”“I guess it’s a draw right now. Mr. Lawrence already has one of them while they have gotten Brody.”“We must get back Brody, man. That’s the instruction. Mr. Lawrence has ordered a closure of all entry points right now and it is already in process. Everything must be on lockdown until Brody is found.”“We can’t afford to fool around.”“What if they are holed up in one of the offices? We should search each room systematically.

Mr. Lawrence then moved his eyes closer to Della’s face to get a clearer view of what was going on.“Wait, what? You look familiar,” Mr. Lawrence’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing into Della with the intensity of a predator sizing up its prey.His expression was hardened as a cruel smile spread across his face.“You look awfully and strangely familiar I must say,” Mr. Lawrence remarked again.He wasn’t sure of whether to keep up with his suspicion or to ignore it. He was sure that there was something about her that was too strange to ignore.It dawned on him that the person that she traced her face to was actually that of Rose Billing, the same woman that he murdered.He paused once more and spoke. “I know who you are, don’t I?”Della’s lips curled very slightly by the side as if she was trying to give Mr. Lawrence the clue that he needed.And Mr. Lawrence picked up the clue. He was shocked by the resemblance that Della had with Rose and even though he tried to ignore it as nothing b

“You are Brody, aren’t you?” Alan asked.The boy nodded in affirmation. Jackson’s grip on Brody’s hands loosened and Brody’s shoulders were relaxed gradually even though he knew subconsciously that there were most likely going to be some problems lying ahead.“I know you,” Brody spoke to Alan. “I saw you the other day when Mr. Lawrence killed Rose. You are Rose’s husband right?”Alan paused as if he was in a deep emotional thought before he then nodded.“Yes, I was.”It was a moment of reflection for both Alan and Brody as they both seemed to have missed Rose.Brody didn’t get to spend much time with Rose but it was obvious that the little time that he had spent with her was more than enough for him to miss her for a lifetime possibly.“And Della, the lady who texted on the phone. Are you her partner? Do you work with her? Where is she?” Brody asked.He was in a hurry to receive answers to his questions because he was still a little bit scared.“She is going to be with us soon, Brody

The air seemed to thicken with tension, the silence broken only by the faint click of gun safeties being engaged.Alan then whispered into his radio, hoping that he was going to connect with Della. “Della, are you there? We are about to open fire on the guards who want to lock Brody in the basement. We are going to need backup, over.”That was all Alan needed to say and he believed that he had said enough already.They moved a few more steps with deadly precision, their footsteps soft and stealthy as they crept closer to the guards. They saw as the guards were shoving and dragging Brody and this time, they were going to lock him into the basement.They were no longer interrogating him about the phone because there were bigger issues to deal with.But Alan and Jackson thought that it was time to raise a response.The guards burst the basement door open and were prepared to shove Brody into a dark room but there was a sudden startling noise of gunfire.Pow! Pow!Boom!The hail of bulle

Alan was just a few feet away hiding behind one of the pillars. The moment she saw the harsh slap that was performed against the boy, he gritted his teeth in frustration as he became provoked to cause a disruption.Why would they treat such a young boy like that? He had to hold and keep himself in check so that they would stay according to plan.But considering the way he was feeling, he wished that he could just start a gunfire right away. He began to rethink whether it was best to engage the guards with gunfire right away or if they should wait a while until Brody got locked in the basement and they would try to open it up.Just as he was still having a deliberation in his mind, the guards continued with their harsh treatment toward the boy.“Yeah, right, we are not stupid,” Guard two spoke. “Look at the faces of all of us standing here.”Brody’s face was still facing the ground as he was dealing with the harsh effect of the assault but he felt a hand shove his head back up so that

Alan and Jackson froze in place, his breath caught in his throat as he clung himself to the wall. His heart pounded in his chest as he heard the guards’ footsteps growing closer.Time seemed to be very slow as the guards drew nearer, their footsteps echoing off the walls of the hallway but Alan gripped his weapon tightly just in case the situation was going to demand it.But as they got closer, two other guards joined them. They now seemed to be five and they were discussing.Alan and Jackson were picking up on their conversations.“The boss said to keep him in the basement.”“There are many ways that the boss can get the boy on his side. After all, he is his son. I don’t see why there should be an issue between them.”“The boy is a cool guy to me.”“This isn’t about whether he is a cool guy or not. We should listen to what the boss says.”“Come on, this is not to say that I wouldn’t listen to what he says. I am only telling you as a colleague that there is no need for being so harsh

Fred was ready to go for it all. “If you need our main ID badge, my colleague can go them now. She will get mine too but I was hoping you would already know the company we are coming from. We already have a contract here.”The guard who was talking balderdash earlier scurried into the conversation. “But I haven’t seen you guys before. Especially the bright-skinned darling we have here. I would have known if I had seen her before.”Fred responded. “Well, we are not always the same and I am sure you already know that. Today, it is our shift to come to complete the repairs and as we said, we are actually running out of time.”“My colleague can quickly go and get the ID badges if that is what is delaying us from entry.”Fred was speaking with the hope that the guard was going to shrug off the situation and ask Della not to worry.But he needed to show that he wasn’t hiding something and the only way that he could do that effectively was to pretend as if everything was going fine and as ex
