Ellie crawled over to Darien who had taken off his own jacket and put it over Bobby to keep him warm. Bobby was shivering.
"How is he?" Ellie asked.
"I don't know. It looks like that blow may have damaged one of his kidneys," replied Darien. "So you're a cop?"
"Yeah. Just made Sergeant," replied Ellie.
"I'm in the law enforcement business myself," replied Darien.
"You are?" asked Ellie looking at him. "What do you do?"
"We work in the Harding Building. Just down the road from here," replied Darien.
"The Agency?" asked Ellie looking a bit amused.
"You know it?" asked Darien.
"Yeah. I have been trying to get out of the police department and into either the FBI or CIA. The Agency was also on my list of contacts," replied Ellie.
"I don't think we're hiring at the minute," Bobby said.
"I don't think I would like to work for an agency that is so severely underfunded," Ellie said.
"I know the feeling," replied Darien looking over at the robbers. They seemed to be having some sort of argument.
"You reckon we could take the four of them out?" Ellie asked Darien who looked at her like she was mad.
"Do you?" he asked.
"I have martial arts training as well as…" Ellie was interrupted by a megaphone outside telling the robbers to give themselves up. She looked out through the door and saw that a SWAT team was in place.
"Well looks like the good guys are outside," Tobias said to his accomplices.
"So what do we do now?" Hanks asked nervously.
"We stay put. They won't storm the building with civilians inside," replied Sam. "Call outside and tell them no deal." Sam turned to Parker. Parker grabbed Ellie and dragged her to the front door and held her as a shield as he shouted out the door. He dragged Ellie back but refused to come. Parker grabbed her by the waist and felt the gun in her belt. He pulled it out.
"Well what do we have here. A cop?" Parker asked holding the gun to her head.
"Yes I'm a cop and those guys out there won't take it too well if you shoot me. It will be in the line of duty if I die. I'll be the one who is honored. You will be the one tried for the murder of a cop. You'll get life." Ellie said.
"Parker, tie her up. Now if anyone else wants to end up in her position they better do what they are told," Sam said to the rest of the people in the bank. Darien started to laugh.
"What the hell are you laughing at," Tobias said taking Darien by the collar.
"Man, you doing it all wrong," Darien replied. "I don't know if this is your first time robbing a bank but you have made a right old cock up of it."
"Shut up," Tobias yelled hitting Darien across the jaw with his gun. Darien looked at Tobias coldly.
"That didn't even hurt," he lied. He could feel the bruise forming on his jaw. He was going to have some bruise there tomorrow.
"Stay quiet," Tobias ordered and walked off towards his accomplices.
The Official, Eberts and Claire left the Harding Building and walked for a few minutes till they got to the scene outside the bank. There were cop cars everywhere and The Official looked around to see several marksmen on rooftops and windows.
"Hold it there. No one is allowed pass the cordon," A cop said stopping the three.
"Two of my men are in there," The Official said showing the cop his ID.
"Ok. Lieutenant Kerins is in charge. Report to him," The cop said pointing out the man in charge. The three walked over to the Lieutenant and The Official said the same thing to him.
"We also have an off duty cop in there," replied Kerins.
"Are they willing to compromise to get the people out?" asked The Official.
"No," replied Kerins. "They found out that Ellie Slater was a cop and refused to compromise anymore. We are trying to get back in touch with them."
"We have a top level negotiator coming in," The Official said.
"They won't negotiate. SWAT will be storming the building in an hour," replied Kerins.
Darien sat beside Bobby and two other customers under the counter. A bruise had formed on his jaw and he thought that maybe a tooth was broken. Bobby was still in some considerable pain but his colour and breathing were normal. Ellie was lying tied up on the ground opposite Darien and Bobby at the other counter. She had someone's tie gagging her. Her green eyes darted from person to person. Darien looked at his tattoo. He had some time before he went Quicksilver Mad. His tattoo had six red segments and four green.
"I'm tired of waiting here to see what these idiots are going to do," Darien said running his hand through his hair.
"You gonna go see through?" Bobby asked.
"Yep. Hostage situations only get worse the longer you leave them," replied Darien remembering what Alex Monroe had said once.
"Where did you hear that?" Bobby asked.
"Miss Monroe said it that time you and Eberts went postal and shot up that Post Office," replied Darien. Keeping an eye on the four bank robbers he crawled back behind the counter and turned invisible.
