I Figured It Out | Jemi

Six

Carl, the criminal, had made his way around all the people who were in the room tying them to anything that was close by, there wasn't many people in the room about ten of them most of the officers being locked out of the room. Everyone was aware what was going on though and they were fighting to making sure that nobody got hurt, they knew there was a four year old boy in the room with. They were the ones they wanted to get out first.

"How did he even manage to get a gun?" Demi whispered to Joe who shrugged his shoulders. Kean was tied to his mother so he wouldn't run off and was extremely scared as he was held against his mother's chest sobbing.

"He probably snatched it from an officer." Joe whispered back but they both stayed silent when Carl came around doing his patrol of the room but when he disappeared Demi spoke again.

"He won't shoot anyone will he?" Demi questioned again Joe sighing as he shrugged his shoulders again. He couldn't predict what another man was going to do.

"I can't predict that, I'll get us all out of this I promise," Joe whispered. "I just need to come up with a plan." Demi sighed nodding her head. She wanted to trust him but she didn't know him well enough to put all of her trust on him. She didn't care about her own safety, she just wanted to get her son out of the room then she'd feel more comfortable with the situation. As much as she loved Liam still she didn't want to join him yet.

"Come on Carl at least let the boy go!" Nathan spoke up everyone turning to him as the silence was ruined by his voice.

"Nobody is going anywhere, not even the boy, he's the one who will probably get me the money and my freedom," Carl snapped. "How old is he?"

"F-Four." Demi stammered.

"They are cute at that age, wait until he grows up a little more. He'll be a little brat." He taunted Demi just holding the boy closer.

"My son will never be a brat, he's a good boy." Demi snapped at him Demi kissing his head gently, Carl just rolled his eyes beginning to wonder.

Demi became more scared and nervous when Joe had told her his plan, he had already started to edge to the desk near him leaning up grabbing the keys from his handcuffs on the desk. He let himself free taking his gun out of his pocket making sure it was loaded. He knew it was risky but he had to do something, he couldn't let the woman in front of him or her son get hurt. Even his colleagues couldn't get hurt if he could help it.

"Jonas no!" Someone whispered to him, Joe just turned to him shaking his head, he had to do this to safe everyone. He wasn't doing it because he wanted to be the hero, he was doing it because he cared about everyone's safety.

"I'll be fine." Joe whispered back.

"You just had a baby!" He answered Joe sighing having his son in his mind. He too didn't want to leave his son if he were to get hurt but he thought this was their only shot to get out of here. He was the only one who was free. Joe let Carl rotate around the room once more before getting up slowly and quietly following him making sure not to make a noise as his gun was up in the air so if he turned around he'd come face to face with a gun. It all happened so quickly, Carl hearing him whipping around shooting his own gun at Joe.

"Nice try officer Jonas." He sneered as Joe's body hit the floor near Demi who whimpered as did Kean who had heard the gun shot.

"Jonas!" The officer shouted getting as close to his body as he could but Carl stood over him shooting his gun towards him too.

"I'd get back unless you want to end up like your colleague."
