This starts with a new character and if you read it you will see why! (whether it is this chap or the next chap) :)
Agent Sam Lane POV
"This is Agent Lane, shots fired need back up" the radio buzzed. Damn it. I ducked as more shots were fired, I hid behind my open car door.
"Sam" Don said over the radio. The radio cracked.
"I can see her" the hostage. "Visual of the hostage"
"Sam" The radio shouted as I ran forward ducking behind a dumpster. I held my gun tight in my two hands and shot back to a figure standing on a balcony.
Bang, bang. The shots rang in my ear.
I could hear the sirens in the background. "FBI" I shouted. I caught the figure in the shoulder, he fell back. I kept my eyes on him and the are around as I walked up the fire stairs to the balcony. I kicked the gun away from him, picking it up as it moved away from his hands.
"Where is she?" I shouted, my gun pointed at his head. Blood was pulsing out of his shoulder wound. "Your shoulder is bleeding out at quite a fast rate, you could either help me and live or don't and bleed to death" I lied.
Beads of sweat trickled down his neck. "She's in the back room, two armed guys"
"Your arms fine" I said as I carefully walked in the back door, staying close to the wall. He moaned either from the pain or being conned by a cop.
The room was dark but not dark enough to not be able to see basic outlines. My gun pointed to every angle of the room, I was ready to shoot anything that came.
I felt a sharp point of pressure suddenly in my back. My body felt weak, suddenly my knee's gave way and I fell. The room swirled around, my vision became blurred.
Have I been stabbed?
No the pain wasn't sever enough to be a knife.
Shot?
No.
Tasered?
No.
Drugged.
?
Alex's POV
"OK, OK no need to hold me like I'm some sort of criminal" I moaned as my father dragged me by my arm through the FBI head quaters. I knew it was a bad idea to hang around with those guys but not to the extremes that Don would flip his lid like that.
So what happened was that in school me and my new best friend Katy met two guys, I'm still the new girl so the opportunity to have two friends especially guys friends was not something I or Katy were going to pass on. They were nice enough and we just hung out.
What is the problem with going to a party, yes there is alcohol but I didn't drink any and no its not like I was caught making out or smoking drugs (which was why the party was busted in the first place)
OK. I can see his part of the argument but that wasn't the whole of the story, and he won't even listen to my side.
"I'm not having you wander off, your under my care Alex I can't....." he paused, using his pass to get further into the government building. I felt like I was being taken for interrogation. "Look I know this is your weekend but you can't go to party's like that ok, so this is your punishment"
"You just don't want to leave me alone at home" I argued back.
"Well pulling a stunt like that last night hasn't helped me in trusting you" he replied, his face was serious.
"I may have snook out of the house at two in the morning but I have a really good explanation"
"I just don't want to hear it now" he replied. I could tell that I had hurt him. He's probably thinking 'great why did I have to have a kid who's a trouble maker' but seriously I'm not.
We pushed through some doors. I could see Megan, Colby and David at the far back talking in some kind of glass room. Conference room? I guess.
The thing with that party last night was that I didn't go, well I did go but not for obvious reasons. Katy wanted to go with the guys, I said no and I stuck with that going home that night, but at 2 in the morning I get a call from her.
'Things have gotten bad' she said, 'can you come and get me?' When I said that I would get Don, she begged me not to as some things illegal were happening at this party. So being the new girl and not wanting to lose the only friend I have I foolishly snuck out and stole Charlies car to go and get her.
That would have been fine if (and this is the bad bit) that when I got there in my rush I left the car keys in the ignition and some one stole it and (being the drunken teenage fool) crashed it into the neighbours lawn. Therefore, a nice call to the police and a licence plate check next causes a nice phone call to be called to my house, and then we have it here.
Don wouldn't let me explain, because I smelt drunk (someone spilt alcohol on me) and I was not in my bed. 1+1= stupid teenage daughter who he will not trust nor listen to.
"Hey guys" I called as we entered the conference room.
"Hi Alex" Megan said. The two guys gave me a manly head nod.
"Sit in the corner" Don ordered. I did hate the fact that he was upset. I'm not the teenager he thinks I am. Don wasn't he only one who was not happy, Charlie was also abit peeved. He bought my a Ipod and on the same day (or should that be night) he took it away. I did wreck his car, by leaving it but because my DNA was in the car and the previous joyrider ditched I am also getting blamed for that. Luckily some how Don pulled some strings to not get me to go to Juvy but I had to apologise to the woman.
They have me pegged as a the bad guy (despite my protests and ignored cries) the only two people who know of my innocence is myself and my diary (if you can call that a person?) Katy was off her head to even know it was me she called.
Don jumped right into the 'meeting'.
"When we went there the cop car was outside, windows smashed. At the top of the fire escape there were blood patches but no body" David started to say.
Colby added, "Tests came back negative the blood was not Agent Lanes"
Megan continued, "A search of the whole building was hopeless. No sign of struggle, no sign of anything"
"So she either was taken in the building, or left the building on foot and is somewhere in the city" Don offered. "Hows Charlie getting on?"
"He's working with Larry on some theories" Colby said handing Don a pale brown folder.
Charlie suddenly burst in, Larry slowly followed.
"Charlie I thought" Don began to say, Charlie cut in on him.
"We have come up with a algorithm" Charlie said placing down a large map on the table. Megan stood up to get a better look at it. "We have taken time, her weight and how fast she could run, also whether she was injured, and created hot zones on the map"
"Okay so how does this help us?" Don asked, taking a sip of coffee.
"Well the red zones -with in this time frame- are the most likely places she would be. Whether, kidnapped, chasing a bad guy, or perhaps fleeing if that may be the case"
"That a lot of city" Don said, "Charlie I don't have enough man power to check all of these places"
"I know but I hardly have anything to work with"
"Its ok, we can contain whom ever this is with in the city by blocking off roads, transport-check buses, trains, boats, motorways...David"
"Im on it" David replied exiting the room.
"Colby and Meg check records whether any other cops have been taken, or gone missing in the past few years. See if there is a pattern. I'll go and check the warehouse out again"
he stopped and turned back to me, "Stay out of trouble" I shrugged. "Megan" she nodded.
Great I have a baby sitter.
I platted the ends of my hair.
Sooooo bored!
Megan sighed, "there are over 254, 587 cases here and only two of us thats like....." she hesitated.
"127293.5 each" I murmered, not even realizing I was doing it.
"What?" she asked again.
"Oh what....nothing" I said, slightly blushing.
"Did you do that in your head?"
"It was nothing, just simple maths" I said.
"I may not be that good at maths but that even took me a while to work out, you did it quick"
"So what I like maths" I defended.
"or maybe it runs in the family"
"You mean like Charlie?" I asked.
"Yes, I don't see why not"
"I am defiantly not like Charlie. He is like genius..all I did was a simple maths equation"
Colby cut in. "Whats 2345.7 times 4567.3?"
I knew straight away that it was 10713515.61 but didn't blurt it out to them.
"Don't know" I lied.
"You do know" she added. I suppose you can't fool a psychological pro-filer
I stood up, "I'm distracting you from your work. Don will kill me. I'm getting a coke. Wheres the machine again?"
"Down one floor, the one up here is broken and on the right" Colby told me.
I walked out and opened the door, but stopped and turned back. "Your right. 10713515.61" and walked out.
Stupid machine. Its swallowed my two dollars. I hit the front with my fist.
I then saw it in the corner of my eye, the black sheen of a gun. My breath caught.
It was a man, the gun was in his hands pointing down the corridoor. I hit in to the side of the vending machine.
Click. I heard the click of a gun behind me. The hard surface on my head, from behind me.
My body trembled.
Crap.
"Hey Lonny" he man behind me shouted.
The man down the corridor turned around looking directly at me.
I jolted and saw the man jolt when a loud alarm sounded through the building.
"Shit, quick take her we need to get out of here"
I heard some rustling behind me but before I could do anything I felt something sharp pierce my neck and before I knew what was happening my limbs felt weak and gave away beneath me.
I could barely see the guys but I felt myself being moved........
My last thought was that 'I'm in danger' before I fell into unconsciousness.
Like I said that first character will appear later.
Hope you liked it.
Always love reviews xxx
