CHAPTER 5

A few hours had passed as Bea was cutting the ropes. She had to stop at times because of the cuts on her fingers. They finally gave way to free her hand. She quickly untied the other hand to get off the floor. She picked up the locket and put it her pocket. She walked toward the door to listen for any movement. There was none, Dom must've left. She opened it and walked out. She saw that she was in a janitor's closet in some building. It was somewhat dark and seemed abandoned. She looked for a phone to warn the others but saw nothing but a pile of papers and a computer set up on a desk.

She walked over to look at them all. They were plans for a bomb. "What would he do with a bomb?" Bea asked herself, she remembered he knew of Sab's wedding. "He's gonna kill everyone!"

Bea looked at the computer to see if it had an Internet connection. It did, she opened an account that was on the computer. She wrote an email to Cody's cell phone.

Cody,

It's Bea. Dom is still alive and is coming for Sab. He kidnapped me this morning and I have only gotten away now. He has made a bomb and plans to use it at the wedding. Get Elaina and the others and warn them!

-Bea-

She sent it and hoped that he read it as soon as he got it. She then looked around the room and then the desk hoping to find something she could use as a weapon. When she opened the drawer of the desk she found her gun that Dom took from her. "Dom you're an idiot. Don't you know you shouldn't leave guns lying around in such places?" Bea laughed at her luck.

Back at the ceremony, Cody's cell phone beeps that he had received a new message. Everyone is bustling about, that no one noticed.

****

"Elaina, I haven't been able to get a hold of Bea at all," Allison said turning off her phone as she approached her. "We've already waited an extra 15 minutes. People are beginning to think that Sab is stalling."

"Alright, I'll get her and we'll begin," Elaina replied. She walked toward Sab's room as Allison got everyone ready.

"Sab?" Elaina knocked on the door. "Sab? I'm coming in."

Elaina walked in. She saw Dom standing behind Sab with a gun in one hand and a small box in another. She saw that Sab had been crying. "You son of a bitch!" Elaina yelled.

"It's nice to see you too Agent Bitch oops, Blakely or is it Donovan?" Dom asked.

"How the hell are you still alive?" Elaina asked as she moved closer.

"Elaina, don't!" Sab screamed. "He has a Dead Mans Bomb."

Frank and the others enter the room after hearing Elaina yell. "What's going on in…Oh God…" Frank said as he saw Dom.

"Seeing the old gang again. We should do this another time, because unfortunately we have to leave," Dom said as he walked towards the door.

"Like hell you are," Jake said walking toward them, but Elaina stopped him.

"Don't Jake, he has a bomb," Elaina warned him.

"That's right, and if you all don't move, I'll set it off," Dom added.

"We need to find that bomb before he leaves here," Frank whispered to Alex.

"What are you whispering about Donovan? I don't like that move over by your wife," Dom said pointing the gun at him. Frank did so, as Alex slipped out the door.

"Hey, what's going on?" Cody asked as he ran to the room. He then stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Dom holding Sab. "Sab?"

"Cody!" Sab tried to break through Dom's grip and succeeded. She ran to him and held him crying.

"What the hell are you here for?" Cody said looking at Dom. "I thought you were dead again."

"That's a long story that I don't care to go through at the moment. I don't have a lot of time," Dom replied as he watched Sab and Cody. "Time to go Sab."

"She's not going anywhere with you," Cody argued.

"I think she is." Dom said holding up the Dead Man's Switch to show Cody.

 Sab moved away from Cody. "Sab don't."

"I have to." Sab said looking up at him in tears. "He'll kill everyone." She slowly walked away from him back to Dom. Everyone watched as they made their way out of the building. Dom jammed the door behind them pulling Sab to one of the cars outside. Cody ran to the door to try to open it.

"Shit!" Cody yelled as he kicked the door. "Someone help me!" Jake walked over to help him open the door.

Frank, Dee and Heather all go in search of the bomb. Frank met Alex as she was coming from the basement stairway.

"I found it downstairs among some boxes. I'll show you," Alex said going back down the steps with Frank.

"Where did Frank go?" Elaina asked noticing he wasn't out in the hall with them.

"He went to find the bomb," Monica told her.

"Where are Sarah and the other children?" Elaina asked worried about them.

"They're with Karissa. I don't think they know what happened yet," Monica said.

"Cody, call the bomb squad and get them over here," Elaina ordered. "Monica, go tell Karissa what's going on and bring the kids in here. I want them close by." Monica went down the hall to the main area.

"Damn it." Cody said, looking at the message. "Elaina, look." Cody showed her the message. "If I'd only looked at this earlier. I could've kept Sab from going."

"Make the other call, Cody. We can't help her if we all blow up," Elaina said in frustration.

Frank came running back to the hall.  "We found the bomb, but I don't know how to disarm it. It has a palm pilot hooked up to it with a bunch of wires. Cody, I need you to disarm it, we'll get the door."

Cody walked away from the door in the direction of where Frank had just come from. He went to the basement where the bomb was. Cody approached it and knelt down in front of it. He looked it over to see how he could disarm it but all he kept thinking about was Sab.

"How could I lose her again?!" Cody thought to himself. He hated to think about what he might do to her.

"Cody?" a voice behind him calls. Cody turned to see his dad there. "Need some help?"

"Yeah, it's a Dead Man Switch Bomb. Dom has the box and it could go off at any second," Cody replied composing himself.

"Take the green wire out of the palm pilot slowly. If you go too fast it will blow."

"Thanks for the reassurance," Cody said as he slowly took the wire out.

"You're welcome son. After that, take the red wire out. It should stop the wireless connection to the box." Cody did it and the bomb turned off.

****

"Why are you doing this?" Sab asked. He was making her drive while he still held the box and the gun. "Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"Cause we're meant to be. I can't stand to see you with him." Dom said. "Pull over to the side of the road on this hill." Dom told her. Sab obeyed his order. "Shall we see some fire works?"

"Dom, don't," Sab pleaded with him. "There are young children in there, you can't do that to them."

"Sorry, but you were the one meant to leave," Dom replied as he let's go of the button. Sab turned to look out the window to see the explosion, but nothing happened. "What the fuck?" Dom said in anger.

Sab smiled. "I guess you didn't hide it too well, did you?" Sab laughed knowing that her friends were still safe. Dom grabbed her by the hair to turn her to face him.

"Just because one plan didn't work out, doesn't mean my next won't," He yelled at her as he let her go.

"You forget. I still have Bea." Dom pointed the gun at her. "Get out we trade places now," Dom said as they got out together and he took over driving as she got in the passenger side.

****

"The bomb is disarmed, have you got the door opened yet?" Cody asked as he re-enters the room.

"Just about," Elaina replied as her cell phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hey Elaina, its Daniel."

"It's not a good time Daniel. Can I call you back?" Elaina asked.

"This will only take a moment. I've gotten Sab's test results back."

"And?"

"Well, congratulate her for me. She's going to have a baby," Daniel replied. "Make sure she keeps her stress level down. It's pretty high at the moment and that could hurt the child."

 Elaina was frozen by the news. "That's great Daniel. I'll tell her. Thank you," Elaina said, recovering from the shock and hangs up her phone.

"We got it." Jake said as the door opened.

"Everyone get changed we'll meet back at HQ. We need to find where Dom took her and why he's still alive." Frank ordered as he walked back to Elaina. "What did Daniel say?"

"This is one time, I wish you were wrong," Elaina replied looking at Frank, as he realized what she was saying.

Cody turned to her. "What do you mean?"

"Cody, Sab hasn't been feeling well lately, so I took her to see Daniel," Elaina started to explain, "He did some tests, and he just got the results back."

"What's wrong with her?"

"Cody, she's pregnant," Elaina said quietly, so no one else would overhear her.

"I get my hands on that bastard, I'll kill him with my bare hands, if he hurts Sab or our baby."

"We'll be there to back you up Cody," Frank said putting his hand on his shoulder.

"I think I better tell Karissa about Sab. Frank have Derek take Casey and Sarah back to our apartment and we'll take Karissa over there to wait," Elaina suggested.

"Cody, you're parents can go over there too if you want," Frank said.

"I'll ask but Dad will probably want to help some way." Cody went over to talk to his parents as Frank talked to Derek.

Elaina went over to sit with Karissa. "There's something I need to tell you Karissa, about Sabrina."

"Have you got news about her already? Do you know where she is?" Karissa said with tears in her eyes.

"No, the news isn't about her abduction. She told you, she saw a doctor earlier."

"Yes she said it was probably her nerves."

"Well it turned out to be something more than that," Elaina told her. "Damn it. Any other moment this would be good news. This time it just makes things more complicated."

"Elaina, please tell what is it, you're scaring me."

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to. Sabrina is pregnant. That's why she hasn't been feeling well," Elaina sighed heavily.

"There's something else you haven't told me, isn't there?"

"Sabrina is a high strung person. When she's upset or stressed about something her blood pressure goes way high. Daniel said that her stress level was high, telling me she and the baby could be in trouble."

"Does Cody know this?" Karissa asked looking over to him.

"He only knows she's pregnant. Only you and I know about the other."

"Shouldn't you tell him?"

"Not now. we need him to be focused on getting her back at the moment," Elaina told her.

Frank came running back in the room. "Elaina, we have a lead as to where they are. We have to go now and suit up."

"That was fast. Come with us, Karissa," Elaina said getting up.

"They took Derek's car," Frank told her.

"Thank God for small favors," Elaina said walking out of the building.

"What does that mean?" Karissa asked in confusion.

"Derek's car has a locating device on it. We can trace the car right to them," Frank explained as they got in his car.
