Need To Know

The moment that Becker's backup came, Becker began sorting out a plan. "Alex, I need you to stay here with Bella. Alright? If anything were to happen, take her to safety, no matter what happens," he said, after walking over to the others.

Alex nodded. "Yes sir," he replied. He smiled and then went over to Isabella as told.

Becker smiled and gave his other two friends, Ryder and Oliver, a plan. He made sure he was quiet enough to where the sniper wouldn't hear.

Isabella looked Becker in the eye. She knew if she moved towards him, she'd get shot. She was hoping with all her heart that he knew what he was doing. Becker walked out of the hospital, pretending to leave. Alex stayed near Isabella and waited patiently with the other two.

Looking the building up and down, Becker smirked and snuck into the building through a busted window. Glass creaked and crunched beneath his shoes as he walked among the rooms, searching for the sniper. Steadying his breathing, Becker looked around and kept as quiet as he could be. He made sure to avoid more glass pieces.

Hearing a rustling sound, Becker slowly walked towards the noise. The sniper froze in place, hearing Becker coming near. "You move and I'll kill you and your little girlfriend," the sniper said.

"She's not my girlfriend," Becker replied, stopping in his tracks.

"Oh yeah? She should be. You two are cute together. It's a shame she has to die."

"You hurt her and I'll make sure you're dead."

"Would you really kill me? I don't think you have it in you." The sniper loaded his guns and looked back at Becker. "I know you, Becker Livingston. I know you were Lieutenant in the military. Your best friend is Alex Reed. Your current girlfriend is Julie Morrison and your current love interest that isn't your girlfriend, who you prefer over your current girl, is Isabella Marie Johnson. Wouldn't it be a shame to have to kill her? And then your best friend? And then Oliver and Ryder?"

Becker looked the sniper in the eye. "You dare touch any of them-" he began.

"Or what?" the sniper replied. He had a gun aimed towards Becker and the other at Isaella. "You can't kill me. You know that, cause I'll kill you f-" A bullet suddenly pierced the air and went straight through the sniper's skull, coming out of his right eye socket. Another shot pierced the air and another bullet went through his head.

Becker stumbled back a little, taken aback by the sudden attack, and he looked over the dead body, which had fallen forward towards him. Alex was holding a revolver. "Is he dead?" he asked. Becker smiled. "Yeah," he replied. "He's dead. How did you see him?"

"Oliver and Ryder," Alex replied. "Come on. Let's get out of here. We need to go now."

Becker nodded and he went down to Alex and the others. He untied Isabella's hands from the rope and he hugged her.

"Oh just kiss her, why don't you?" Alex said, smirking as he put away his revolver.

Becker smiled. "Cause I don't think she likes me like that. At least not yet anyway," he replied.

"Are you sure?" Alex asked. "Ask her."

"I will later. I'm sure her heart is racing and she wants to be somewhere safe now."

"Mhm. Sure," Alex teased. He winked and then got Ryder and Oliver. "You need anything before we go?"

"Uh...yes. I need to see Julie once more before she dies. I need answers."

"Answers for what?" Oliver asked curiously. The 5 individuals walked out of the hospital.

"Just...answers," Becker replied.

"O-okay," Oliver replied. "I think she only has a few weeks left. She's still in the ICU...maybe you can ask her in a few days?"

Becker nodded. "Okay," he replied. "Whatever it takes. I just need to know..."

"Know what?" Alex asked.

"I can't tell you right now. It'll just add to the stress that's going on right now. Right now, I need to get Bella home and make sure she's okay. I'll catch up with you all later, alright?"

Isabella shivered slightly and was silent. She held Becker's hand and walked with him to his car.

"Alright, loser," Ryder teased. "Make sure you tell us when you get there safely!"

"Will do!" Becker replied. He opened the passenger door for Isabella and he got a blanket from the trunk of his car. He wrapped her up in it and he then got in the drivers' seat. Soon after, he drove to her place.
