Chapter Twenty-Two
Hospital hallway…
David and Colby were silently going through door to door, checking to see if any of the patients were safe.
"What kind of monsters would attack a hospital?" Colby asked angrily
"The very worst kind" David said, as they reached the area they last saw where the men were heading.
"How do you want to play this?" Colby asked his friend as they approached the area, preparing for the worst.
"We will have to use stealth and we have to strike first before they do." David answered as he also prepared for anything to happen.
"You know, I wish we had Liz on hand," Colby said
"Yeah, I haven't heard much from her when she went to take a job at the DOJ, any idea what it was?" David asked
"I think it has something to do with some protection of witnesses, from what I had heard," Colby said
"Think she will come back?" David asked
"I hope so, I miss her." Colby said, as he went back to concentrating at the task at hand
They were soon lucky, or unlucky, because they were then at the door and they were soon facing the shooters.
'Oh, great.' Both Colby and David thought
Meanwhile…
Nikki was awaiting news of Eva when she got another phone call, something she was dreading, wondering if it was about her doing more in relation to Merrick's death or there was bad new regard either Don or Megan.
"Betancourt" She answered
"Agent Betancourt, we have a situation." The other voice on the line said
"What kind of situation?' Nikki asked, irritated, as she didn't have time to deal with any more emergencies at the moment.
"The hospital that Agents Eppes and Reeves are being treated at has been taken over by at least two gunman and there are reports of casualties." The man said
This immediately got Nikki's attention, as she knew that her friends were there and they were going to need backup soon.
"I am going to need some help." Nikki said
"Well, you got us." A voice said
Nikki turned around to see a couple welcome faces, leading her to smile.
"Agents Edgerton, Cooper." She said, happily
"We are ready to help." Edgerton said
"What do you want us to do?" Cooper asked
