So thanks to the people who did review but I've only had a few so I'm getting writers block. I've rewritten this chapter a gazillion times and it's getting hard. I get a review and then I can write for ten maybe fifteen minutes but then the feeling goes away. And I mean, yeah I can get a lot done in ten or fifteen minutes but I've had like three reviews on the third chapter and it takes a toll on my brain. Yes I know there are the regular reviewers, you know who you are and I thank you, but it's taxing. Sorry I'm rambling, here's chapter four.

"Lillian what's wrong?"

The head of Cyber Command sounded worried as she said, "We have a problem and I need you and Gabriel to come into C-DOC right now."

"This is a photo taken earlier this morning by a drone flying over Libya."

"And how does this relate to the Alexander Hood case?"

"The drone took another picture and we tagged Hood and his brother in pictures of the rental database."

"We were able to get a drone over the house and we caught a photo of someone outside the house. This man is..." Lillian started.

"Hassan Muhammad," Riley finished. "Guys if Hood called Hassan, we're in big trouble.

He found himself absently leaning towards her and she was doing the same. Her eyes were just closing as Jameson woke them from there trance.

They watched as someone with a mask on came out of the compound and launched a RPG straight at the drone. The next second, the feed went static. "How long ago was that?" Riley asked.

Gabriel's eyes glossed over for less than half a second when he said, "Ten minutes."

As they made their way up to the top floor, the remaining two teams dispersed. The three agents climbed the the last flight of stairs. There was one door and a line of windows. They crept along the hallway and came to a stop. Riley picked the lock, stood up, and was about to open the door when they heard a gunshot and the glass on one of the windows shattered. Riley tackled Gabriel and waited a couple seconds. When no other shot was taken, they stood up and looked over five feet to find Jameson lying on the ground.

Chapter 4

"Jameson!" Riley yelled. He didn't respond. Gabriel snuck over to the window and tried to find where the shot had come from. Riley ran to Jameson and pulled him out of sight of the window.

"Ri...ey... wh...t... h...ll...ju...ha...n...d..."

"Lillian, I can't hear you. The signals blocked."

"This is Gabriel Vaughn, we need a medic to the top floor. Jameson's been hit. I repeat Jameson's been hit. We need a medic to the top floor now," Gabriel screamed into his earpiece.

Riley was leaning over Jameson trying to wake him up. She searched and found that he had been hit square in the chest. "Jameson? Jameson, open your eyes. Gabriel what the hell was that?" She looked at him in disbelief.

Just then the medic and another soldier came through the door at the end of the hallway. They rushed over and started to examine Jameson. They took his vest off and saw that thankfully the bullet hadn't gone all the way through. "The force of the impact and the hit to his head from the fall knocked him out. We'll get him out of here." They started to carry him down the hallway when they stopped. "Oh yeah, by the way, all levels are clear. They should have another team coming up to help." After that they kept going.

"Should we wait? Or do we keep going?" Gabriel asked.

"We keep going. They can catch up. We need to find our perps." Riley and Gabriel went through the door and found that they needed to turn the corner. After that there was another door. They got ready and Riley kicked it open. As soon as they did that, gunfire started raining down on them like fire from hell. As soon as they had an opening, the two agents returned fire, killing two of the men. "Is Hood or Hassan in there?" Riley yelled over the deafening roar of bullets threatening to tear them apart at any second.

"I can't tell," Gabriel yelled back, retreating behind the wall just as a bullet whizzed by where his head had been half a second earlier. The hostiles stopped to reload so Riley and Gabriel dove into the room and behind an overturned table just in time to avoid the slew of flying metal aimed at them. Riley quickly popped her head up to get a quick view of the room.

"There's a filling cabinet just to my left. I'm gonna try to cause a distraction by running to it. Just over there," she said pointing to an object over Gabriel's shoulder,he turned to look, "is some cases. Metal. You run to those and they will have better protection."

"No I'm not going to let you be the decoy. You could get shot."

"I know that's the point. So-"

"No. I'll go and you run for the cases," Gabriel said firmly.

"No way in hell Gabriel. I'm supposed to be protecting you, this is my plan, so suck it up and stop acting like an ass." And with that she stood up and started to run to the filing cabinet. Gabriel swore under his breath and headed to the metal cases. They each took turns aiming at the other five men in the room. "MOVING!" Riley shouted as she went around the filing cabinet. As soon as she was done done she resumed fire. She killed two, as Gabriel killed another and as soon as she killed a third she ducked down as the other turned to get a shot at her. That, however, turned out to be a bad move because Gabriel was given the chance to fire off three rounds.

"Riley?" Gabriel shouted. She didn't answer. "RILEY?!" He started to move towards her last position but stopped as he saw her walking out. He was relieved until he saw who was with her.

"There are two ways this ends agent," said the man. "Either you let me leave peacefully and with the girl, or she dies," said Alexander Hood pressing a knife blade harder into Riley's neck. As a few drops of blood started to appear, Gabriel looked at Riley and saw fear, pain, and worry flash across her eyes, and he knew his options were severely limited.
