"No." The man finally concluded.

"No what?" Steve snapped, he was close to loosing his temper he so wanted to take his gun out and…

"No, as in I'm not turning her over until we get to the border."

"Then forget the…" Steve was interrupted.

"Don't forget lieutenant, that I have your wife, and that you're seriously outnumbered. Besides if bullets started to fly there is no guarantee your wife wouldn't get hit." Steve licked his lips nervously, he looked over at his captain whose concentration was straightforward.

"We had a deal." Steve reminded.

"The deal was one million dollars and safe passage out then maybe we'd let your wife go."

"Captain…" Steve looked over at his captain expecting him to do something.

"Steve we have to compromise with them, they have Cheyenne, and we are seriously outnumbered."

"Captain that's your niece, and we not going to COMPROMISE with any criminals who…"

"Temper, temper lieutenant." The man scolded. "Why if I had such a temper your wife would already be dead."

"You bast…"

"STEVE!" The captain snapped. "Alright Tao you can go, just make sure you turn her over when you reach the border." The men snickered, one of them grabbed Cheyenne by the arm and began to drag her away. Her eyes were filled with sheer terror, they were going to kill her and the babies before they turned her over. Steve stepped forward, but her uncle blocked him.

"Steve..." she cried out. With that simple cry she noticed how much pain she had just inflicted on her husband. She was then stuffed into the van, and the van speed out of the alley.
