OG | Fix You (S.W.A.T)

Chapter Five

Street runs into the briefing room after getting off the phone with Niamh.

'There's a hostage situation at the Alamo Drafthouse!' He announces.

'How do you know?' Hondo asks him.

'Niamh just called me.' Street says. 'She's there with William.' 

'Is she actually in the building?' Chris asks.

'It sounded like it.' Street nods. They all then get alerts on their phones alerting them to attend the hostage situation. 

'Let's go.' Hondo announces as he starts running to gear up. 

.

Arriving at the movie theatre, they all jump out of Black Betty. 

'Chris, Luca, see if we've got eyes on the inside.' Hondo orders. 'Tan, Deacon, see if any contact has been made.' Chris, Tan, Deacon and Luca all do as they're told. Hondo turns to Street. 'Street, you need to sit this one out.' 

'Hondo-' Street starts.

'No arguments.' Hondo cuts him off. 'Niamh is your family. You already seem pretty attached to her. I don't want you rushing in there and getting yourself hurt.' 

'She's still my sister. I want to be here for her when we get the shooter.' Street tells Hondo.

'You stay out here with me.' Hondo tells him sternly. 'We're going to go over to command and see what we're dealing with.' Hondo and Street both walk over to command where Commander Hicks is waiting for them. 'Commander, what brings you here?'

'Your shooter is Jasper Martin.' Hicks states. 

'The white supremacist we've been after for six months?' Hondo questions.

'The one and only.' Hicks nods. 'The movie theatre was taken over by an African family three months ago. 'He turns to Street. 'I understand your sister is in there?' 

'Yeah.' Street nods. 'I got off the phone with her just before we got the call out.' 

'Did she say anything?' Hicks asks. 

'She said that a man went in, barricaded the doors and started shooting the workers and then the line cut off.' Street responds. Chris and Luca then join them. 

'All security cameras have been cut off.' Chris informs them. 'There's no way to get eyes on the inside.' 

'There's no other way in either. Back door is boarded up.' Luca adds. 'The roof has no access from the outside.' Tan and Deacon also join them.

'They were making contact just as we joined the hostage negotiator.' Deacon states. 'He's demanding a car to the airport and a private jet. Niamh is definitely in there, though.' 

'We could hear her when the negotiator was talking with the shooter.' Tan clarifies.

'She was trying to diffuse the situation.' Deacon continues. 'He did keep screaming at her to shut up but-'

'If she carries on she's gonna get herself hurt,' Street sighs, 'or worse - killed.' 

'We need to get in there before the situation escalates.' Hondo tells his team.

'The moment you hear a gunshot, you breach.' Hicks orders. 

'Yes, sir.' They all nod.

It has been an hour, there has been no movement in the movie theatre. Hondo had contacted Niamh's social worker and care home to inform them of the situation and her social worker has joined them. Hondo notices that Street is becoming restless.
