Sedusky could already hear the sirens off in the distance as he followed Ellien out of the small maintenance building that served as the OSI's entrance. He knew that what ever was causing the call of alarm, definitely had to be connected to the USSA. What was more certain to him was that the Patriot could be in the area of the sirens, maybe only yards from Sedusky if he got over there in time. To think it was possible to put a stop to this all today and now, but he had a feeling that that wasn't going to be the case, even with Ellien's unbreakable determination.

Sedusky looked over at Ellien, trying to match her pace as they walked down the alley. "Have you any details about what the hell's going on?"

"Jaufrei will explain everything once we locate him." Ellien replied, not even glancing back at Sedusky as she walked. "I'm certain that he'll have acquired any details regarding this attack, as well as it's intended target."

"How are you certain that this is an attack?" Vasily asked, glancing at Ellien through narrowed eyes.

"Such a stupid question Vasily..." Ellien muttered, shaking her head. Vasily sighed and shook his head, giving up. Sedusky knew better then to try and get more then he was given with Ellien, and it would take some time before Cecile and 'Vasily' did the same.

"Such a stupid question Vasily..." Cecile mimicked beside Sedusky, making sure no one could hear but the two of them. "Honestly, who does she think she is, talking down to us like that?"

"It's just the way she is." Sedusky replied under his breath. "Just get use to it. I did."

"Well, I don't have your tolerance level for some things." Cecile spat, glaring at Ellien behind her back. "And she's on my list of-

"Inspector, Lieutenant, would you mind catching up?" Ellien called to them. Sedusky looked up, realizing just how far they had fallen behind Ellien and Vasily. They quickly caught up, only to be met with Ellien's famous and unique sarcasm, much to Cecile's enjoyment.

"In case you haven't realize, we're currently in a state of emergency." Ellien stated, Vasily silently looking on beside her. "Lets try and save small talk for later, okay?"

Sedusky politely nodded, while Cecile struggled not to roll her eyes at Ellien's remarks. They quickly continued on ward until they reached the end of the alley were a parked armored black van was waiting for them, three individuals that he recognized immediately: Jaufrei, Irene, and Agent Obreiski.

"Jaufrei." Ellien said, wasting no time addressing the servant. "What's the current situation."

"Four gunmen have appeared to have stormed into Moscow Central Hospital at approximately 11:22 AM, four minutes and thirty five seconds ago." The elderly man explained with crystal precision. "Currently, the area around the hospital has reported gunshots coming from the interior, and staff and patients have been seen fleeing the site."

"I see." Ellien said, quietly thinking to herself. "Have you ran a list of the current patients?"

"Yes." Jaufrei replied. "I've acquired the database for all current patients as well as staff on site."

"Anyone important currently there?" Ellien asked, a finger on her lips. "Political, any high value target?"

"Yes, I did find one." Jaufrei replied, handing Ellien a file. "Sergei Medellin. A member of President's Vorshevsky's cabinet. Currently undergoing heart surgery."

"There going after the politicians..." Vasily said, narrowing his eyes.

"This is not good..." Ellien said, examining at the file. "Public reaction to this will not be to the general liking. Have fun calming everyone now Nicolae..."

Ellien shook her head and gave the file back to the elderly servant, heading to the black armored van. "Jaufrei, get in the drivers seat, everyone else in back."

"You mean were going there?" Stephan asked, watching Ellien get into the passenger side.

"The FBI has sent you here to help find The Patriot, have they not?"

"Well, yes they did, as a profiler, but-

"Then get in Agent Obreiski." Ellien replied swiftly. "Same goes for everyone else."

Sedusky quickly rushed to the back and filed into the van with everyone else. Sedusky could already tell from past experience that the van had formally been from the Federal Security Bureau. The FSB only had the best of best, and Ellien had somehow made it even more state of the art. The entire van was set up as a mobile command center, with computers and hard drives secured in place. It was like the OSI HQ, only mobile.

Sedusky found a chair, along with Vasily and Stephan. Unfortunately, Ellien must had underestimated the ratio of chairs to people, leaving Cecile and Irene with no place to sit.

"You'll have to sit on each others laps." Ellien called from the passenger seat, a laptop now in her hands. "We could only fit three seats."

"Your joking right?" Irene asked, stunned from what she had just heard. "Henri, please tell me shes joking."

Sedusky didn't have an answer for his sister, because he knew Ellien was being dead serious. He could only shrug and give no more help to his sister then she could.

"Cecile, you can sit on my lap if you want." Sedusky suggested, causing Irene to glare and Cecile to smile.

"Sure." Cecile said, sitting on top of his legs.

"So what am I supposed to do?" Irene demanded, glaring at him in growing anger.

Ellien glanced back, still tapping on her keyboard at the same time. "You can sit on Agent Obreiski-

"Absolutely out of the question." Irene spat, causing the brown haired FBI agent to shake his head and sigh.

"Or sit with Mr. Vasily." Ellien finished, not showing any care for Irene's awkward predicament. "By the way, Mr. Vasily, Agent Irene Sedusky of the FSB. Agent Sedusky, Mr. Yuri Vasily."

"Pleasure to meet you Agent Sedusky." Vasily greeted, shaking her hand.

"Likewise." Irene replied politely. "But if it's alright with you, I think I'll just sit on the floor."

"Fine by me." Vasily replied, buckling himself in. "I would hate to put you out of your comfort zone."

"Well, I'm glad you understand." Irene replied. "Unlike some people..."

"I just hope you find the ride on the floor in your 'comfort zone'" Ellien said from the passenger seat. "Now, Jaufrei, lets go. I hope you been practicing your evasive driving skills."

"Of course madam."

Ellien nodded. "I prefer five minutes then. At the minimum."

"Understood."

And with that final word, the van's engine revved and Sedusky was nearly sent out of his seat by the sudden acceleration, even with his seat belt on. Irene on the other hand, was in the back on the van in seconds. He had a feeling he would reach the hospital in five minutes. At a minimum of course.

The hospital had been turn into a place of chaos rather then a place of healing, and Webb knew it was only a matter of time before even more chaos ensued. He was well drilled in keeping a strict time limit. He knew all the rules, how the police operated, and what they would do in a given situation. They knew all the rules, and exactly how to bend them to get away to fight another day. This was how the game was played.

Webb carried the gas canister along with Chloe until they reached a locked maintenance door, the only thing that was standing in their way.

Webb instantly went to his lockpicks. "Allow me-

Chloe fired a gunshot into the door's lock, destroying it instantly and nearly causing Webb to lose his grip on his own gun from the sudden explosion of sound.

"My kind of lockpick." Chloe said, examining her pistol. "Seems to work like a charm every time..."

Webb silently glared at her before resuming their work. He kicked open the door and the two dragged the cylinder inside to the dimly lit maintenance room.

"There." Chloe pointed to a large grate at the far end of the room. The two both carried the nerve gas until it was situated in front of the grated metal.

"Hand me the hammer." Webb ordered, pointing to a large sledgehammer sitting propped in a corner. Chloe quickly tossed the hammer to Webb and he began to dismantle the grate, slamming the large sledge against the metal until it would finally give way.

Miller's voice came over their radios. "Team two, what is your status, over?"

"At the ventilation system, getting ready to insert the canister. Yours, over?" Chloe replied, keeping an eye on the door in case anyone were to come in.

"Were at the target's room, in the special care ward." Miller replied. "Rig the canister for remote access, don't set it off until you get back here, understood."

"Understood." Chloe replied as Webb continued to hammer away at the grate.

Finally, after consecutive blows with the hammer, the grate finally fell off on to the concrete floor. Webb quickly grabbed on of the handles to the cylinder.

"Help me."

Chloe picked up her end and the two placed the cylinder into the ventilation shaft with ease. The key part to the experiment had been placed, now it was time to see if the trial would fail, or succeed.

"Were finished sir." Chloe said over her radio. "We'll be there in less then five minutes."

"Understood." Miller replied. "Five minutes is all we'll need."

Webb was slightly hesitated by Miller's words, getting caught of guard and momentarily stunned by what he had just said. For some reason, unknown to him, he felt as if things had just gone wrong by Miller just saying that once sentence. For the first time, Webb began to feel uneasy, that something was going to happen that would cause everything to go down hill very quickly, and that he would defeated by an unknown enemy.

It was a feeling that Matthew Laurence Webb hadn't felt in a long time.
