So I was watching Speed and I felt as though there could be an Austin and Ally kinda story here... I'm not gonna bore you anymore, I'm just gonna leave an AN at the bottom instead for you lovely people to read;)

"Hey, make sure these other elevators remain locked and empty" Lieutenant Dezmond ordered.

"Yes Sir"

Austin sighed. He knew he was on duty but couldn't this guy have waited until tomorrow to set up a bomb and try to kill innocent civilians? Sure he couldn't time when people would do things like this, but he had a rotten hangover as did his partner Elliot. It wasn't that he didn't love his job, it had its rewards like every job did. But at the moment he'd rather be in bed nursing himself back to his regular state, then maybe make plans to do it all again this weekend. Not that he was ever allowed to take days off.

"Gentlemen, what we have here are 11 passengers in an express elevator below floor 34. The bomb's already taken out cables. The bomber wants $3 million or he blows the emergency brakes."

"How long we got?" Officer Elliot Christian asked.

"He gave us one hour"

"How generous of him!" Austin snorted sardonically.

"Now is not the time Officer Moon." Lt. Dez snapped. Austins grip around his gun tightened.

"So we have 32 minutes left. Is there anything else that will stop this elevator from falling?"

Austin turned to look at Elliot, "Yeah, the basement" He smirked.

Dez rolled his eyes. "We'd like to avoid that situation Austin"

"Well why can't we just unload the passengers?"

"It's an express elevator. Our only way in or out is the access panels. The bomber has also wired the hatch to trigger a bomb to explode if opened." Dez explained

"Which means he's now seated in the 'crazy but not stupid' section, right?" Dez glared at Austin remark.

"Christian, Moon; I want you guys to check it out and find a way to stop that elevator from dropping 32 floors."

"Pop Quiz; The airport. Gunman with one hostage. He's using her for cover. He's almost to a plane. You're 50 feet away."

Although he'd rather be asked this question another time, preferably not on top of an elevator full of hostages with C4 strapped to it, but it takes his mind off the current situation and helps him calm down for a second.

"Shoot the hostage." He answers simply.

Elliot looks at him in shock. "What? Why?"

"Take her out of the equation. Go for the good wound. He can't get to plane with her. Clear shot."

'There's method in everyone's madness' Elliot thinks. "You're nuts Austin"

"This is stupid. He's gonna blow it anyway, doesn't matter what we do.-" He gets a look. "-Gut feeling."

Austin carefully looks around to see if he can see anything to try to relieve the pressure of the elevator. So far he can see a ladder, a rope that looks ancient and a few cobwebs...

"This is taking too long, I can't just sit around waiting for something to happen." He begins to climb up the ladder to the top of the elevator shaft.

"You're not gonna shoot them are you?"

He breathes out a chuckle. "No, we're gonna take them out of the equation."

o0o0o0o0o0o

So getting the passengers out was slightly easier than expected, though the massive crane did nothing to help him hold the elevator up longer. Even if he did only have seconds to spare (which was slightly unfair. He should have had another 3 minutes but the son of a bitch decided to detonate early), everyone was unharmed... Apart from the bombers ego, maybe.

But there was still a gut feeling that the bomber was still here. It was like a sixth sense to him.

"He's still here"

"He could have blown that thing from Disneyland Austin. What makes you certain he's here?"

"He knew we were up to something, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped the gun."

"Why would he corner himself in an evacuated building Moon?

Austin gave a small smirk as he began to walk back to the elevator doors.

"He'd want to stay mobile right?" Elliot nodded. "So why not the freight elevator? It's the only one that hasn't been shut down."

"Because there was no need to, it's just for freight."

"That's what he wanted you to think"

Austin wrenched open the doors and found himself looking down at the only elevator still in use. He heard noises coming from inside the small space.

"Let's have a bit of fun"

o0o0o0o0o0o

Turns out that that fun led to Elliot being held captive by some asshole.

"Pop quiz, hotshot. Terrorist holding a police hostage. Got enough dynamite strapped to his chest to blow a building in half. Now, what do you do?"

Austin kept his firm grip on his MP5 and held a steady aim on the bomber. No way was he gonna let him get away with what he had done.

"There is a bunch of cops waiting for you in the basement." Austin snarled.

"You know they'll come a time when you wish you never met me." Austin stared into the dark brown eyes of this brunette guy.

"Don't worry, I'm already there." The man gave a deep laugh.

"You and you're little buddies will soon see that I'm the one in charge here." Austin cocked his eyebrow as if asking him to continue. "If I drop this stick-" He holds the device in front of him, "- and they'll be picking your friend up with a sponge."

Elliot looked into Austins eyes and for the first time ever they both had they same look; terrified and determination. They weren't given these jobs for nothing.

"Shoot the hostage" Elliot managed to breath out whilst being choked.

Even though he didn't want to do it, he could see that Elliot has a point. He took one last look into Elliot's eyes as if to say 'I'm sorry', and shot him in the leg.

The terrorist let go of Elliot and let him slump to the floor whilst clutching his bleeding leg. "You asshole." Elliot said with gritted teeth.

Austin gave him a small shrug and put his focus into Him.

"You're not gonna win this game"

"Aren't I?" The brunette smirked and ran out the door behind him slamming it shut. Austin went to run after him but didn't get very far as his body was thrown back into a wall due to the C4 exploding and sending out an impact.

After the wreckage had died down, Austin ran into the bomb site. There were overturned cars, fire and smoke everywhere. No sign of a body nearby, but he could swear to god that out of the corner of his eye he could see a silhouette and hear a near silent cackle.

"Dammit!" Austin kicked a bit of metal knocking a car and setting off its alarm.

His headache from his hangover had just gotten that little bit worse...

Hello my lovelies,

If you're reading this then I love you. It means you actually put up with my story for some reason... I hope you liked it. Never written A&A before but there's a first for everything right? If you've seen speed you'll know I left parts from this scene but not scenes that you missed out anything major. I left all them in. Ally will be there next chapter or so, I promise!
That's if you want me to continue...

Goodbye my darlings, until next time? (that's if you want a next time? *cough*review?*cough* for me?:D )
