The gunman yelled out suddenly," I need a car ! He is coming with me. He needs to take this thing out of my head in a better secured place. You hear me! I want a car ! And if any of you follow me he's dead. "
Faith sucked in her breath as she saw her brother.
Spencer instinctively moved his wheelchair faster than normal. So fast he sped through the barrier holding him back. Past the cops that shouted at him to stay back.
He ignored them and quickly moved towards the gunman and his husband. His eyes never left his husband's face.
Nigel whispered in shock," Dear God. Spencer....."
On the other end of the phone line Richard demanded to know," What about Spencer! "
Andrew ran behind his son, yelling," Spencer, son , come back! " A uniform cop grabbed him and pulled him back. Andrew yelled hoarsely," Let me go ! That's my son ! Let me go! Spencer! Come back! "
" Spencer, get back! ," Faith screamed as she stepped forward. Then she was pulled back by her partner.
DuBuis yelled," Spencer, stay back! "
Lieutenant Franklin yelled into the walkie," Keep holding fire ! Do not shoot the man in the wheelchair ! I repeat do not shoot ! Look for an open shot on the shooter! "
Spencer didn't stop moving until he was very near the gunman and DuBuis. His voice was unusually strong and firm as he demanded," Let my husband go. You shot me. You put me in this chair. Let him go ! Or I swear I will find a way to kill you with my bare hands. "
DuBuis begged him," Spencer, please go back. Please. "
" Shut up, sweetie, " Spencer replied. He kept talking to the gunman. " Let. Him. Go. "
Faith pulled her gun.
So did Nita Browne and Lieutenant Hannah Henson.
The gunman screamed," I shot you because they told me you were the enemy. You needed to be eliminated. You are the enemy ! "
Spencer laughed harshly. " You shot me over a damn ring! Let my husband go ! "
The man stepped away from DuBuis and swung the gun towards Spencer and he screamed," You are the enemy ! "
" Sweet baby Jesus," Faith whispered as she fired her gun.
So did Nita Browne and Lieutenant Hannah Henson.
So did SWAT.
