All of the officers were now down on the ground, my eyes leaving Calum's to find Captain Sutherland watching me with a calm expression.
"Nessa, are you injured?" He asked me, everyone shifting at his voice.
I shook my head, the mans hand still covering my mouth.
"Okay. I want you to stay there, don't move."
I nodded.
Then he looked over at Calum.
"Calum I need you to leave. Stand up, walk backwards and exit the building."
Calum shook his head.
"I'm not leaving her."
"Calum this isn't a request it's an order."
"I understand that but i'm not leaving." Calum said, his eyes trained on me.
"Calum." I tried to say but my voice was muffled by the hand covering my mouth.
With shaking hands I reached up and removed the mans hand, his arm putting pressure on my chest instead, securing me.
"Calum leave. I don't want you to see this." I begged.
"No. I'm not leaving." He said again.
"Calum, please. I don't want you to see if I-"
"You're not dying and i'm not leaving! You're my girlfriend and I'm not leaving you!" He then shouted and I nodded my head.
Calum then looked back at Captain Sutherland.
"Fire me after this, I don't care. But I won't leave."
Captain Sutherland sighed before turning to Officer Wilmington who was next to him.
"I need FBI, SWAT, and hostage to come down. We're going to need backup." He said quietly and the officer nodded before walking to an office and closing the door to use the phone.
Calum then looked at me again and then up at the man holding me.
"What's your name?" Calum asked him.
"None of your damn business." He shouted.
"Okay. Sir, i'm going to ask you to lower your gun, and let her go."
"I WANT OFFICER WHITE!" He shouted right in my ear making me flinch.
"Officer White is on vacation. What do you need from him?"
"HE RUINED MY LIFE! YOU ALL DID! AND IM GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY!" He shoved the gun even harder against my head as he screamed causing me to gasp.
"Okay, okay. I know you're angry and i'd be angry too, but we want to fix this. So tell us what you want."
"I want my life back!"
"Tell me what that means."
"I want my wife! I want my kids back! I want my house and my job and it all back! I want it all back!"
"We can help you, we can, but you have to let her go first." Calum said to him.
"You're all liars!" He screamed.
"I'm not lying, i'm not lying." Calum said and then went to get his phone. "You see my phone? Tell me your wife's number and i'll call her. I'll put it on speaker so you can hear. Okay?"
"DONT CALL HER I HATE THAT BITCH!"
I now realised this man was even more unstable then I thought, and I could die any second.
