Forbidden Love [COMPLETED]

Chapter 59

"Hello." Becky said on the phone, her voice trembling under his intense stare.

"This is Agent Danvers with the hostage negotiation unit. Who am I speaking to?"  Came from the other end.

"It's Dr. Rebecca Armstrong." She replied.

"Becky!" Freen who was on the other side whispered.

"Don't." Agent Danvers warned her not to speak.

"Dr. Armstrong are you alright?" She enquired.

"Yes." Becky breathes out.

"Is anyone else injured?"

"No." Becky says. He gestures her to get to the point.

"He wanted me to talk to you." Becky says her voice shaking.

"Can you ask him what does he want?" Agent Danvers asks, while everyone on the outside held their breath, listening in.

"He...He wants someone to be released from prison."

"Who?"

"His...his brother...Jason." Becky gulps looking at the gun pointed at her. "He says if you don't, he's gonna start shooting...us one by one. And if you try something else... he's..he's gonna blow up this place.."

Agent Danvers shakes her head, before gesturing to one of the officers to draw up Jason's information, "Dr. Armstrong, can you tell him that we need time? I have to get in touch with my superiors, lay off the information and it's gonna take some time for them to give out the orders. Can you please tell him that?"

"He's...he's listening." Becky looks at him as he nods in reply, "He says okay."

Agent Danvers takes a deep breath before speaking directly to him, "Mr. Monroe we know you want to help your brother and I'm going to do that. But you have to give something to us in return."

There was deadly silence for a minute before someone screamed,

"Dr. Armstrong? Dr? Are you there?"

"What is happening?" Freen gets to the phone at lightning speed.

"He's...he's pointing the gun at my head." Becky chokes out.

Freen's eyes goes wide, she grabbed the agent's hand begging her to do something, "Dr. Armstrong I have been told that there is a pregnant woman in there among the hostages. We only want her to be released."

Becky looks at him scared, her hands covering her face, he shakes his head, "He says no one goes out."

"How about someone going in?" Freen blurted out before anyone could stop her. Becky immediately caught her voice and sighed in relief.

"Shut up." Agent Danvers mouths to her.

Freen gestures at herself, as if saying she is willing to go in.

"Mr Monroe, if she goes into labour, Dr. Armstrong isn't an OBGYN she won't be able to help. We can send another doctor in."

Instead of letting Becky answer he answers himself this time, "No one goes in or out, unless it's life or death." He says matter of factly, before moving to hang up.

"Freen..." Becky calls in desperation at the last minute before she is cut off.

He pushes her down on to the floor.

"I told you not to do anything stupid." He growled.

"I didn't." She says, tears streaming down her face, moving backwards.

"Who's Freen?" He asks intrigued.

Becky doesn't answer, he grabs her face making Becky look at him, "I asked you a question."

"My..my wife." She chokes out through her tears.

"I suppose she is the one who suggested that someone should come in?"

"Y..yes."

"What was she going to do? Volunteer herself?" He laughed mocking.

"I don't know."

"Well I don't care. What I care about is that you didn't heed my warning. Now I have to teach you a lesson. Otherwise one by one, all of you are going to start acting out. I can't have that." He says moving closer.

"Please don't. I just wanted to hear her voice." She cried.

"Should I start from them or you?" He asks pointing the gun back and forth.

Becky inhaled sharply, "No. Please...No."

He then moves towards Saint, "Well you two seemed to bicker at each other all along. It's clear you two hate each other. So why don't I start with him, Doctor?"

He points the gun at him.

"NO!" Becky screams.

"You're no fun, doctor. Don't even wanna hurt your enemy?" He laughs amused.

"I see, do you think he would do the same for you?" He asks challenging, "It's clear as day, he would rather you get shot than him."

He chuckles, "It's a pity not everyone is a sweetheart like you, Doctor. I'm sorry."

A shot goes off, dragging everyone into deafening silence.
