Save Me
Cameron watched as five cop cars pulled up around the building. "Stay in the car," Metcalf said to Cameron as he got out to join his fellow officers. Metcalf walked over to the officers that were piling out of their cars. Cameron watched him talk to them.
"Have you had any contact with the gunman yet?" Officer Blake Hilton asked Metcalf. Metcalf shook his head no.
"We haven't heard or seen anything," Metcalf said.
"Let's get a perimeter set up around the building so if they are still in there, he can't get out," Hilton said talking to his fellow officers. The other officers moved around the building to get set up.
"This is Donovan Wentworth. He will be our negotiator for this," Hilton said introducing Wentworth to Metcalf.
"I called Princeton and got a file on the House shooting at the hospital. We need to handle this guy carefully or he will feel free to shoot him," Wentworth said.
Inside the building, Jack was freaking out because he could tell that there were a lot of cops now outside of the building.
He jumped when he heard someone knocking on the door upstairs. "This is the police. We need to speak with you Jack," Wentworth said from upstairs.
Jack looked around not knowing what to do. Wentworth tried talking to Jack again. "Do you have a cell phone number we can reach you at?"
"If you don't want them storming in here, you better give them a way to talk to you," House said to Jack. He knew storming in might not be the best option because Jack and the police might start shooting at each other. Jack walked over to House.
"I am going to unlock you so that you can give them the number, but if you try to run, I will shoot you."
House nodded his head in agreement. Jack unlocked House and then gave him the number to give to the police. Jack followed House upstairs.
Wentworth was still trying to get something out of Jack when he heard House speak. "I have a number for you," House said. Jack poked the gun in House's back to remind him to be careful of what he said.
"I'm ready for it," Wentworth said.
House gave him the number. "Is Dr. House okay?" Wentworth asked thinking he was talking to Jack.
"I am Dr. House," House answered him. Jack grabbed him and dragged him back downstairs before he could say more.
"Are you alright Dr. House?" Wentworth asked. He got no answer.
Wentworth turned around to Hilton.
"Get this phone number to trace to try to figure out who he is and who he has been calling," Wentworth said as he wrote down the number for Hilton.
"I'll get right on it," Hilton said as he ran to his car to call in the number. Wentworth turned to Metcalf.
"House is still alive. Get some snipers down here in case we need to take Jack out," Wentworth said to him.
Metcalf nodded and ran back to his car. "Is everything alright?" Cameron asked him as he got back in the car.
"Dr. House is still alive. I am calling for some more backup."
Cameron was a little worried when he heard him ask for some snipers, but she knew that the police probably knew what they were doing.
**********
Jack had brought House back downstairs and handcuffed him again.
His cell phone rang.
"Hello?" He said as he answered the phone.
"This is Officer Donovan Wentworth and I need to speak to Jack, please," Wentworth said.
"That's me," Jack answered. "House will stay alive if you do as I say."
"Is Dr. House injured in any way?" Wentworth asked.
"He is fine," Jack lied.
"As long as he is okay, then we can work with you," Wentworth said.
"I want a car to take me to the train station," Jack said. Wentworth wrote down everything he was saying. "I also want two train tickets to Montreal, Canada." Jack was sure that Brandon would come back for him.
"I will get one of my guys on it," Wentworth said.
"I don't want anyone following us either," Jack said.
House rolled his eyes. Does he really believe that they will just let him go? He thought to himself. This guy is dumber than I thought.
"As long as Dr. House is okay," Wentworth said. He knew he had to get the point across that House must be alive for any of this to work out. "Is there anything else I can get you?"
"I also want the ransom money we are supposed to collect tonight," Jack said. "My partner is picking it up later."
If House wasn't handcuffed, he would have slapped him in the face for being so stupid.
"We will get a car to have him meet you at the train station," Wentworth said.
"I also want a pizza. I'm hungry," Jack said.
"What kind?" Wentworth asked.
"A Pizza Hut Meat Lovers," Jack said.
"I am going to hang up and call for it right now, okay?" Wentworth asked.
"Okay," Jack said. After he hung up the phone with Jack, Wentworth walked back up to Hilton.
"I need a Pizza Hut Meat Lovers pizza," Wentworth said. "Put a tiny camera on the box so we can see what is going on inside the building." Hilton told him okay.
"I prefer supreme pizza," House said to said after he hung up the phone.
"I think you'll live eating Canadian bacon," Jack said.
"I hope I live long enough to eat it," House said. House hoped the cops knew what they were doing. He was at least happy that Cameron had gotten out. He knew she didn't deserve to be in this mess. Of course, if she hadn't also been taken, the police may never have found him alive.

A/N: I am really hungry for pizza right now.
