When the World Caves In
Summary: The CNU get's taken hostage, and Matt and Emily are nowhere to be found. That is until they make contact with the HT's to neogtiate for they're friend's release.
Chapter One
Matt looked down at the growing mound of paperwork in front of him. By the time he'd get half of it done it's be stacked back up to the top. He sighed deeply, and looked behind him. Emily was looking over a case file, for they're last neogtiation. He grabbed the pad of paper beside him, and scribbled down a little note, and slid it to Emily. Then he got up out of his chair, and walked away.
Emily grabbed the pad of paper, and looked at the tiny note that Matt had left her.
'We need to talk, conference room two.'
Emily knew what Matt had planned, and talking was not on the menu. She felt drawn to meeting him though. She had been pretending to be busy for the last hour, but in fact all she was doing was thinking about Matt. She got up, and slowly made her way for conference room two. She twisted the doorknob, and shoved the door open.
Matt heard the door open, and grabbed her arm, and pulled her inside. He had already drawn the blinds, and he proceeded to lock the door as he shoved her up against the wall.
"Matt you know we shouldn't be doing this," Emily said, in between kisses.
"Hmmm...but it feels so right," Matt said, moving his attack to her neck and down to her collarbone.
This lead her to let out a light moan, as she let her hands grab his hair. He stopped his assault long enough, for Emily to wrap her legs around his waist, causing him to moan, as her body lent into his and her breath tickled at his neck.

Meanwhile, downstairs
"Look we get in, go to the twentieth floor. They won't be expecting it," a man said.
"Fine," one of the women in the group said.
A group of four, got into the elevator, and pushed the button for the twentieth floor.

Duff leaned slightly against Lia's desk.
"So, you wanna grab some food after this?" Duff asked.
He had been trying to get Lia to go out with him for months now.
"If I say yes, will you stop asking?" Lia asked, not paying any attention to Duff, but to the screen in front of her.
"Yes ma'am," Duff said, in a deep huskily voice.
This caused Lia's attention to move from her work, to Duff.
"Fine, then we'll grab some food," Lia said, a small smile on her face.
She had been playing hard to get for months know, she figured it was time to finally give him a chance.
"Great, I'll meet you in the parking garage at six-thirty?" Duff said.
"Fine," Lia said, her eyes going back to the screen in front of her.

"Frank, I don't know if I can get the budget increased to that," Cheryl said, pleading with her friend.
"Well, I think this equipment will really help out the HRT Team," Frank said.
Normally Frank would be down in the basement, in the kill house. Doing endless hours of target practice. It's what he did everyday, but today, Duff seemed to think that today was his day with Lia. Plus Frank really had to talk to Cheryl about increasing HRT's budget, for some new equipment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The elevator dinged, and off stepped the group of four. Two men and Two women.
"Okay, I need all of you to stop whatever the hell your doing, and get on the floor," the man in front nearly screamed.
Cheryl and Frank heard the commotion, and poked they're heads out of her office door.
"You two, get your asses on the floor, join your buddies," the man near the back yelled.
Cheryl and Frank did as they were told, and got down on the floor.
Duff saw people diving to the floor, and knew something was up. He put his finger to his lips to signal Lia to be quiet. He barely opened the door, and the man in front shot his gun in Duff's direction.
"I said get on the damn floor, now anyone in there get out here," he screamed.
Duff and Lia, did as the man asked, and got on the floor next to Frank and Cheryl.
"My name is Jacob Reed, and I'm holding each and everyone of you hostage until I can speak to a Matt Flannery," Jacob said, anger piercing his eyes.
"Are you related to Anya Reed?" Cheryl asked.
"Yes, I'm her brother," Jacob said.
Cheryl looked at Frank.
"We haven't seen Matt all morning," Cheryl said, which wasn't fully a lie. She hadn't seen him for about a half hour or so.
"Your umm...Cheryl Carrera correct?" Jacob asked.
"Yes," Cheryl said.
"Then your his boss. You want me to believe you don't know where your subordinate is?" Jacob asked.
"I don't," Cheryl said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Matt something is going on," Emily said, pulling her pants up over her hips.
"What are you talking about?" Matt asked, buckling his belt.
"I hear voices, screaming from outside," Emily said, her voice lowering to almost a whisper.
Matt walked over to the door, and peeked out through the blinds.
"Shit," he said, a little louder than he had intended.
"What?" Emily asked.
"CNU has been taken hostage," Matt said.
"What?" Emily asked, her voice full of worry.
"There are four people outside this door, with guns. Two male, two female. I can see Cheryl, Frank, Duff, and Lia. It appears like they've forced everyone onto the ground," Matt said.
"We've gotta do something," Emily said.
