Taking It Too Far Chapter 2: Shots and a Chase
A/N: Alright everyone I'm back with chapter 2 of Taking It Too Far. In chapter 1 we saw the set up for everything, everyone arriving at the game and Valerie entering the Suite Life gang's suite armed. With a security guard down after being shot that means one thing, the SRU will soon be on their way, and as I mentioned at the end of chapter 1, more shots will be fired. I hope that everyone enjoys chapter 2 of Taking It Too Far.
Summary: Suite Life series/Flashpoint crossover. The Suite Life kids joins London and her father on a trip to Toronto, and when a dangerous situation unfolds, the SRU is called in to resolve it

Last Time on Taking It Too Far:
Just then they heard a pounding on the door.
"London, London, help, it's me, Valerie Ramirez, there is a shooter loose out here, please let me in," the eight heard Valerie yell from outside the door.
"Oh my god, Valerie, are you ok," London asked.
"Yes, for now, please just let me in before they shoot again," Valerie said.
"Ok I will," London said as she went over to the door and opened it.
Cody, Zack, Bailey, Maddie, Marcus, Woody, and Addison were stunned at what they saw when London opened the door, Valerie pointing a gun at London.

The downed security guard watched as the door to the Tipton suite opened and Valerie pulled the gun on whoever opened the door. Valerie then forced her way in and slammed the door shut. The guard then got hold of his radio to report the incident.
"We have a hostage situation in the Tipton suite, I repeat a hostage situation in the Tipton suite, hostage taker has a gun, she shot me in the arm, send help," the guard said into his radio.

SRU Headquarters
Team One had finished with their activities and was ready to head out on patrol when the alarm throughout the headquarters started to go off.
"Team One, hot call, Rodger's Centre, shots fired outside of a suite, multiple hostages," Winnie, one of the SRU dispatcher's, announced over the intercom.
"Someone must not be happy with how the game has gone so far," Jules said as Team One began to gear up.
"Sox must have started off good, sending someone overboard," Lew said.
"A huge place like the Rodger's Centre, plenty of fans in the place, things could get messy, especially when trying to stop a game and get people out," Ed said.
"They have hostages in a suite though, no fans may even know this is going on," Sam said.
"Let's hope that's the case, it'll be easier to get people out of their unharmed," Wordy said.
"Whatever the case may be let's just do what we do best, and keep the peace," Greg said as the team made their way towards their vehicles and headed off towards the Rodger's Centre.

Meanwhile back in the suite
"Valerie, what are you doing with a gun," London asked the girl who she thought she was friends with while Cody, Bailey, Zack, Maddie, Woody, Addison, and Marcus slowly back away from the situation at hand.
"Doing something I should have done a long time ago, and that's take down Tipton Industries all by myself," Valerie said evilly.
"But Valerie, our dads are friends, we are friends," London said.
"Wow London, you really are that stupid, guess I could say the same for both our fathers as well, it was all a façade, an act, and I kept my feelings to myself so not to cause problems with my father. Deep down I absolutely hate you and your family for being more successful than mine, and sometimes I even hate my own father for not caring about that and for being friends with your father," Valerie said.
"So basically you are jealous of the Tipton's success," Cody asked.
"Nobody asked you so keep your mouth shut, or you'll be the next one with a bullet wound," Valerie shouted at Cody as both he and Bailey again started taking steps back.

As the SRU arrived at the Rodger's Centre they were greeted by Inspector Stainton of the Toronto PD.
"Inspector how are things looking so far," Greg asked.
"No new reports of shots being fired, so no one in the stadium besides security and those in the suite know what is going on," the inspector said.
"Why hasn't the game been stopped and people been evacuated," Ed asked.
"With no new reports we wanted you guys to be here to help with the evacuation and to make the announcement, with the shooter not active and contained in a suite we are hoping that makes things less tricky," Stainton said.
"How many hostages we looking at," Sam asked.
"Eight, all minors, Mr. Tipton had not made his way to the suite yet, he was still dealing with the media. Only confirmed hostage we know of is his daughter London, we assume the rest are her friends," Stainton said.
"What about the suspect," Jules asked.
"Minor as well, female, security guard said he didn't get a good look at her to see if he could tell who it was," Stainton said.
"Thanks Inspector," Greg said. "Alright team this is going to be a huge evacuation with so many people here so Sam, Wordy, Spike, and Lew, you guys stay down here and help the officers and staff with that, Ed and Jules you two head towards the suite, I'm going to head to the press box to make this announcement and set up a command center. Once evacuations are done you four head up to the press box so we can take things from there," Greg said as everyone went on to do their parts.
"Winnie get on the phone with Boston PD, see if you can get a cell phone number for London Tipton," Greg said through his radio.
"On it," Winnie responded.
Greg then made his way to the press box; just in time as well as the third inning of the game had just ended, making the halting of the game that much easier. He and some Toronto PD officers entered the press box and explained the situation to everyone as they started to evacuate. Greg then took the public address microphone in his hand.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is Sergeant Greg Parker with the Police Strategic Response Unit. I hate to do this but we currently have a hostage situation in the building and the game is going to have to be postponed for now. If everyone could please leave the stadium in a calm orderly fashion that would be greatly appreciated, ushers, stadium staff, and officers will be here to help you in the seats and out in the concourse," Greg announced to the crowd as they started making their ways toward the exits. Meanwhile on the field all the players headed for the dugouts while the umpires met with the two team managers before they all exited the field as well.
"Boss, I got that cell number for you," Winnie said as she told Greg the number.
"Thanks Winnie," Greg said as he dialed the number on his phone, only to get no answer.

Meanwhile back in the suite Valerie had started on another rant about how much she hated the Tipton's and London specifically when London's phone started to ring. London went to answer it when Valerie stopped her.
"Don't you dare answer that or I will shoot you," Valerie said.
"But what if it's someone trying to help us, or London's father," Maddie said.
"No one knows what is going on in here except for us, so do not answer that phone," Valerie yelled at London while holding the gun even closer to her as London obeyed Valerie's threat.
Valerie then saw the one thing she was hoping not to see, everyone leaving the stadium.
"No, no, no, no, this can't be happening, everyone is leaving, that means the police are here and they know what's going on," Valerie said as she began to panic as the others turned to see what was happening. Valerie totally forgot about the guard she had shot and that he would report what happened, and they all had missed the announcement Greg had made due to Valerie's ranting.
Marcus had seen enough, he couldn't stand to see the girl he had a major crush on having a gun pointed at her, and as Valerie began to panic she started to hold the gun more loosing. Marcus then decided to make his move as he jumped out from the group and grabbed hold of Valerie's gun.
"Marcus no," the others yelled as they did not think this was a smart thing for Marcus to do. That would prove to be the correct thought because as Valerie and Marcus fought over the gun it fired by mistake, shooting Marcus in the thigh.
"MARCUS," the seven others yelled as they went to help their friend, as Valerie had pushed Marcus away after the shot had been fired.
Marcus fell to the ground as the others started to help him. Cody took charge as the others gathered up things to help Cody try and cover the wound on Marcus' leg. Meanwhile the shot being fired had stunned Valerie as she pushed Marcus away, and as she returned to her senses she saw the others helping him. Valerie was not happy with what Marcus did, and was ready to end this now and kill London. Much to her chagrin though Valerie did not have a clear shot at London, so she was going to make someone else pay who she had a clear shot at, and that someone else was Bailey.
When Valerie fired the second shot it was as if time stood still. Everyone turned towards Valerie and everyone saw where the shot was headed as Bailey was too stunned to move. Cody then did the only thing he could think to do, protect his girlfriend, as he dove in front of Bailey the bullet hit the left side of his abdomen.
"CODY," Bailey and the others yelled as everyone but Marcus now went to check on him. Valerie then used this second shot to her advantage as she snuck up behind London and grabbed her by the throat with her arm, holding the gun to her head and pulled her out of the suite, as her friends could only watch helplessly as they continued to help Marcus and Cody.

Just as Jules and Ed got off the elevator at the level that the suites were located at they heard the second shot that had been fired.
"Shot fired, shooter is active again," Jules said through the radio as she and Ed started to run towards the direction of the shot.
"Continue on with caution," Greg said in response.
Just as Greg finished saying that Ed and Jules saw Valerie drag London out of the suite.
"STOP, POLICE," they both shouted at Valerie, who started running in the opposite direction with London.
"Shooter left the suite with one of the hostages, I'm in pursuit," Ed said through his radio as he started to chase after Valerie.
