As soon as he cut the call, James turned around abruptly and came headlong with a plank.Minutes later, he woke up in the center of the hall in front of everyone, with a gun pointed to his face. His mask had been taken off, and the bright light illuminated by the chandeliers blinded his eyes.He could feel blood trickle down the side of his face. What had they even hit him with? He thought to himself."Mr. James Johnson, If I am right." Dark Cloud's voice roared with laughter"You are the famous James Johnson, aren't you? The Military's highest asset. Or once upon a time highest asset. Tell me, why then, did they let you go?" He asked him.Before James could say anything, he cut him short."Oh, forget about it. That is not important. Everyone! I present to you your hero! He wanted to be the savior of the day. Play the hero and now, he is the victim, isn't he?" Dark clouds laughed."I don't even want to know what happened to my men. You of all people should have known better, and now..
Sarah sat folded in between two huge men wearing masks. They had tied her hands to her back and she had no other means of undoing the knot which was tightly tied behind her back.Dark Cloud's voice boomed angrily over to where they were. Sarah shook at the sound of his voice. It was electronic and strong.They heard footsteps run up the stairs and come up to the master bedroom where they had tied her up. This was right before the lights came back on."What is going on?" One of the men asked the ones who ran up to the room."He is missing. James Johnson is missing and we need to find him now." The man replied."Who the hell is James Johnson?" The one who stood guard over Sarah asked back."I don't know either, but he was caught by our boss. The guy's a deadbeat murderer. He killed Rain and Hail." The guy who spoke was clearly afraid and his voice shook."I don't understand. Rain and Hail are dead? Shit man! What the hell! What do we do now? Did you get his face? What if he kills one of
The Captain outside became uncomfortable. He turned to the convoy of Military trucks that had just arrived in the scenery. He watched the General stepped out of his car and walked up to him with his guards behind him.He looked really upset and that was the beginning of his troubles."If only that stupid boy had just followed his orders!" He murmured to himself.The short, feather-bearded man scratched the bald spot on his head which was formed as a result of his receded hairline. He had taken off his cap as a result of the tension in the air."What the hell is going on inside there, Captain?" The General asked in a deep, warning tone. The Captain swallowed a lump and turned to him with a salute."Sir! We have a bad situation inside. One hostage has been killed and one is injured right now. Johnson is being insurbodinating and has refused to stick to a particular order that I gave him a long time ago." He replied sternly.The general did not miss the venom in his voice as he spoke abo
The General was becoming more and more agitated as he stood out there. The press had surrounded the place and people were beginning to swarm the environment.They had surrounded him and begun throwing series of questions at him."What is the state of the hostages like, General?""Who are these men? Are they terrorists?""Do they have any affiliations with the Quando Crime syndicate in New York city?""What are they asking for? How do you plan to save them?""Tell us, what is your next line of action?""For now, we are still assessing the situation at hand. We do not know how many hostages are being held in there and we do not know who they are or what they want from the government, but give us some time and we will figure out a solution." The General responded cooly."Sir! Sir! " The journalists continue to call."No more questions." One of his aides stepped in front of them, while he walked away from the flashing cameras and people with mics.The Captain stood afar off with fear in h
"How is the safe coming along?" Dark clouds asked walking into Mr. Chen's room where his men had been trying to break into the Safe forever.The guy at the safe had already taken off his mask from the heat and sweat. He perspired everywhere on his face.He had two sets of eye colors. One gold and one black."This safe is the hardest I have ever had to crack open. There are no codes and the buttons don't even seem to be bloody working!!!" He yelled and hit the safe.Immeyhe did that, it started ticking."What... What is that?" Dark Clouds asked. The man raised his hand over his head in complete horror."Shit!" He exclaimed with wide eyes."What the fuck did you just do man!" Dark clouds yelled at him."What the bloody hell is that ticking sound?" He asked."I-I-I don't know man, I just hit it and then it started ticking. I swear to you, I didn't do anything to it on purpose." The man said. His voice shook as terror washed over him."This is not the explanation I need! You better figure
The men scampered out of the room and out the hallway. "Alright! Everybody get up and fill up! Head for the door slowly!" One of the men, claps shouted."What? They're letting us go?" A woman asked him, a partner. Sarah looked around the room and could not find James."Get up Sarah, come on!" Theodore said pulling her up from the floor."Where is James?" She asked him, turning around to look back."Don't worry about that right now, do as they say!" He said and pushed her into the line of people moving towards the entrance.The General outside was shocked to see the line of people file outside. More and more people walked out of the building."What is going on?" The Captain asked."We need to speak to Johnson," the General said.The Captain turned to him with a sour look. "Johnson? What do you mean? That low life could not have...""I will have you hold your tongue, Captain!" The General commanded him."You really don't have to open up your mouth every single time, Captain. You really
James continued to watch the safe, and when he turned it over. He saw it, the timer. The bomb had really been ticking."Shit!" He cursed and got up"Hey! Stop there! Don't move!" Claps shouted out. He pointed the gun at him along with two other men.Dark clouds got off the floor, pressing his hand to his head.He took a gun from one of his guys and pointed it at James."You really think you can outsmart me and play the role of some kind of sick hero, huh??" Dark Clouds asked him."You know that I know, right? How long do you think you can stay under false pretense?" James asked him. He had his gun pointed at them."Lost in your own understanding, I see." Dark Clouds said. "Well, whatever it is you know, is completely insignificant right now. You will get me that bioweapon and you will disable that bomb. " Dark Clouds said."Well, I hate to disappoint you but that is impossible. That safe is rigged and what you hear ticking right now, is currently counting down at the behinds of that s
"No!" She screamed out loud.The sound of the explosions shook Sarah to her bones. The officers had forced her along with them in order to ensure that she was safe.Tears bubbled in her eyes, as she stared at the flames which had engulfed the forest and everything that was within ten miles of the mansion. The officers pulled her back with them, as her feet prepared themselves to make a run for it."Please! Calm down, Ma'am!" The officer who held her said to her.Sarah fell to the ground crying and grabbing her chest. This had not been the plan, although, it had been a part of her fears.Her voice ceased completely, and she stared helplessly at the smoke and fire sparks that sizzled in the air. Her breath had been reduced to quiet gasps, the wind had become frostily cold as smoke clouds covered the atmosphere where they stood.With every breath she took, her body shivered. Nothing could be seen for miles because that was how thick the clouds were.Hands gripped her shoulders firmly, li
