One Chicago: Linstead

Chapter 31: Undercover Hostage

"This is my fiance, Hannah Kepton," Nate said.

"Nate, what's up, more heroin, or it marijuana now?" A man asked.

Nate, aka Jay was undercover trying to take down a Mexican Cartel group who immigrated from Mexico to expand their "empire."

"2 kilos, and uh... my wife wants a little something extra." He pretended to be high.

"I want some junk. It's a drug that makes you higher than the sky, it's the delight and my night... haha, I rhymed." She also pretended to be high.

"Right this way," the man led them through a couple halls and rooms.

Hannah, Erin, followed behind the man and Jay followed behind her.

When they reached the room, four men grabbed them both and tied them up.

"So, Jay Halstead and Erin... Lindsay? Or is it Halstead now?"

They struggled in their chairs.

"I've been hearing rumors that someone is ratting us out to the cops."

"There is no one!" Erin shouted at him.

"Lose your attitude." He ordered.

"HEY! Let her go. I'm the one you want. I know who it is...not her." Jay exclaimed.

"I don't think so... I think that she knows too." He frowned, he pulled out his gun and almost pulled the trigger.

"I... She's pregnant!" He explained, "She has nothing to do with this, man, let her go."

"Oh, so she's carrying a mini you." He chuckled. "Why don't I just... kill two birds with one stone... or bullet."

"Let her go, I'll tell you what I know." He lied again.

"Lying will get you no where. I know that once I let her go, you will stall until more come looking for you. So, we can make a deal. You tell me what I want to know, your wife WILL have her baby, but you won't live to see it."

"No... that's not..."He looked at her and knew he had to get her out somehow.

"Tell me or I'll kill the baby first, I'll get a surgeon in here to cut it out, better yet, I'll do it myself. Then I make sure to cut it up into a billion pieces and then I'll do the same thing to your wife over here. Afterwards you'll kill yourself because their blood would be on your hands." He explained.

Erin sat quiet. "I'll tell you. Just, please, don't hurt us."

"No, Erin, stay out of it!" He ordered.

"I won't. If this threatens my child... so help me God, I will do anything to save him." Erin shouted.

"STOP FIGHTING!" The man yelled back. "Why won't you tell me what I want to hear." He ordered. "Tell me, who is the leak? Who's the rat?"

"Boss, their obviously st---" a minion spoke up, a bullet through the brain silenced him.

"Now, where was I?" He looked back at them. "You're willing to kill your unborn baby for what? One person. One person that would let you do this? What great parents you will be."

"This isn't about our child and you know that, just let her go, please!"Jay begged.

"Tell me what I want to know and maybe I'll consider letting HER go."

"Never."

"TELL ME! It makes life so much easier, just a name."

"We'll never tell you." Jay bit his lip.

"Fine, you want to be a bitch like that... so be it." He pulled a gun and pointed it towards his head. "You want to rethink that answer?"

"Yeah. Go to hell." He smirked.

"I won't shoot you, yet..." He laughed, "you could be a real help. But your wife on the other hand, well she can... what was it? Go to hell?" He pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger. BANG! The bullet zoomed out of the gun and headed straight towards Erin.
