"We have to get out of here," I say to him after we climb from under the desk.
"Agreed. Wait, wait, wait. My sister's here. I can't leave without her. I just can't."
"Okay, fine. Do you know what class she is in first?"
"No. I think that we can access her schedule online. If she's not there, then she's in the library. And that would be a problem." He takes out his laptop and goes to the school homepage.

"Is that what I think it is?" I say, looking at a screen. "Is that a kid looking at the school's homepage?"
"Yes, sir. It is a... Freshman. Collin Den is the kids name."
"Can you Skype him? Any sort of video chat?"
"Here you go, sir." He presses a button.

"What is that?" I ask. A video chat call appears on his screen.
"Should I accept it? The user name does say FBI. I'm gonna accept it." He presses the little green button and a new screen shows up and we see a guy in a uniform.
"Are you Collin Den?" the guy asks.
"Yes, and this is Ian. Who are you?"
"I'm Colonel Leonard Hustle, Homeland Security Department of the FBI. Are you two okay?"
"Yes, probably mentally scared for life, but we're fine. Were you able to contact anyone else yet?"
"No, you two were the first ones to take out an electronic device."
"Okay, look. They're taking all of their hostages into the library."
"Good. We can set up snipers and take care of the criminals in there and you can get the hostages out of there. Can we trust you two to do that?"
I look at Collin. He nods. "Yes you can, sir."
"We will call you after it is done and you can go and get them out of there. Be safe."
"We'll do our best."
