"Please…just tell me what you want?" Naomi's voice shook gently, looking towards the man whose face was behind a black mask.
"You don't know" he let out a gentle laugh.
Naomi's fear doubled when he did so. "No…please…refresh my memory" Naomi managed, her voice shaking tremendously.
The gun, which was seen clearly from his pants pocket, had forced Naomi into a near paralyzed position; he'd forced her all the way down to the buildings basement, where a tiny light crept in, if she shouted loud enough it was possible for someone to hear through the cracks, she just couldn't risk that yet.
He laughed once more before sitting across from her "You…broke my wife's spirit, this place destroyed her, she came here for your help to have a child…and now…our child's dying" he said coldly, his eyes darting to hers.
"I want….you…to cure her…and if not." he stood up and pulled off this jacket revealing a ticking bomb.
"You and this practice…will be gone…forever" he grinned. "Or...you and your husband can simply write me a check for 1 million dollars….your choice" he said simply.
Naomi then gasped, unable to speak, but the most surprising was what came into her thoughts at the exact same moment…Dell.
Naomi gathered her courage before speaking. "I…I…don't understand…we do all that we can for our patients here." she said stuttering.
"You've met her before I believe…name's Elly" he grinned.
"Elly…" Naomi then remembered. "Your baby's at the children's hospital…" she said slowly her memory flooding back. "Enough refreshing then" he replied coldly.
Addison carefully went into Naomi's office, picking up the ringing phone. "This isn't like Nai…" she frowned worriedly.
"Maybe she went downstairs or out to the drive in to pick up something to eat" Cooper suggested.
"No…she takes this everywhere, it's like her lifeline" Addison frowned deeply.
"Well then I suggest we either look around here, or go downstairs…we could all just be overacting" Pete spoke up calmly. "Of course you'd say that" Addison murmured.
"Alright first of all we need someone to go the generator…"Addison said looking towards Sam.
"I'll do it" Dell said quickly causing everyone to stare. "I was quite the electrician for my papa" he said defiantly, though his thoughts were only on Naomi at the moment.
"Alright then Sam go with Dell...make sure everything's in order" Addison said without thinking, stopping Dell's protests. "The most important thing right now is to find Naomi…which starts with us having lights" Addison continued before Sam reluctantly nodded his head.
"Come on then" Sam sighed setting off with Dell in tow to the basement. Dell gave Addison a glare before following.
Everyone was so much into their own thoughts that they barely noticed the heated discussion going on between Cooper and Violet.
"No…no, if you want to have sex with Charlotte King then that's your business!" Violet yelled.
"I didn't want you to find out this way…" Cooper sighed.
"It started out completely platonic I swear to you Violet" he urged
"Platonic…I'm sick of your lies Cooper…and I'm sick of you….our friendship is over!" she then slammed the door going into her office.
"Violet…" he groaned banging on her door.
"Violet please…" Cooper continued.
Addison raised her eyebrows…I can't believe those two." she shook her head, noticing that Pete had been gazing at her.
"What?" she said a slight blush came to her cheeks.
"Nothing…you just…." He then got closer to her. "Your worried…frustrated…tired, though you have gotten rid of those bags under your eyes" he smirked trying to lighten the mood.
Addison rolled her eyes as they walked down the hall, searching the rooms for Naomi.
"And…to me...you've never looked more beautiful" he grinned stopping as they neared the end of the hall.
"I'm about to do something completely irrational for this kind of situation" he smirked.
"What would that…" Addison started before Pete pulled her into kiss.
Dell was getting angrier by the minute; Sam didn't want to listen to a word he'd said. The same thing he'd done since he proclaimed his love for Naomi to him.
Though he understood perfectly well, Sam was once his mentor, then he moved to his competition and now…he had crossed the enemy line. "Damn...it's locked…" Sam groaned. Dell said nothing…because like he'd told Sam a couple of minutes ago...he'd heard something, and now it was clearer then ever before.
"Shh!" Dell said forcefully, though they were almost complete darkness, a tiny light creaked through the door.
Naomi had heard the slight turning of the doorknob; she was waiting for the perfect opportunity to scream for help. Her captor was lounging his gun pointed at her now for any slight movement.
She was working on writing a check for him, her pen scratching slowly against the check causing her hands to shake gently.
"One million dollars…and no less Mrs. Bennett" he said with a grin.
"What was that?" he said pointing the gun at her threateningly. He then moved towards the door gently. Naomi then took her chance, "Help please! Someone please!" she yelled.
Dell and Sam gasped. "Naomi!" Dell yelled his voice shaking gently.
Sam immediately started kicking at the door, successfully knocking it down on his third try.
The man let out another laugh…"Welcome Dr. Bennett" he grinned widely, his gun pointing at them both. "Have a seat" he urged.
Dell then saw Naomi, his heart leaping with fear and anticipation…he then knew what he had to do, he'd do anything to spare Naomi. He gripped his champagne bottle which was hidden in his messenger bag, waiting for the perfect moment to attack.
Just as Sam began to sit down, he waited until his back was turned. Dell then put all his strength into pulling off the perfect hit, the bottle smashed against the mans head, knocking him out cold.
Sam quickly grabbed the gun only giving Dell a slight nod of approval. Naomi then glanced at Dell, a look of shock and admiration on her face before she gasped once more. "He…has a bomb!" she said quickly as Sam discovered it.
"I...I can do it" Naomi spoke up, her hands shaking. "I can detonate it" she said with an air of confidence.
Dell couldn't help but pull her into a hug before she continued. Sam frowned at them, but continued to survey "Naomi….I'm certain it's the red wire….trust me."Sam said reassuringly.
Dell then took a second glance at it. "No... Sam, it can't be the red one…the blue wire Naomi…the red's going to cause an opposite reaction" Dell said confidently.
"I...I…" Naomi looked at them both. "Hurry we're running out time do it now Naomi!" Sam yelled.
"Naomi, take a deep breath and trust me…the blue wire..." Dell looked into her eyes nodding as she returned the gaze. Naomi closed her eyes just as she grabbed the blue wire, pulling the wire out successfully.
The clock immediately blinked off. "Oh my God! We did it!" Naomi pulled Dell into a hug. "No...you did…" Dell grinned. "Thank God you're alright" Sam spoke up after clearing his throat. Naomi gave a Sam a warm smile, before frowning gently knowing what she had to do.
