--Important--I got this idea from reading Family Relations by Brittanysr. You have to read hers before you read mine!
Suggested Music: Hollaback Girl (Gwen Stefani), Main Offender (the Hives), and Bitch (Meredith Brooks) for the end.
"No one move or I'll blow you brains out!" shouted a raspy voice, whose owner was hidden behind a black ski mask. Quickly Beth and Julie ducked down so they wouldn't be spotted, which would make it easier for them to sneak out without being caught. The pair squatted on the floor with the cold air from the cooler wafted towards them.
"Does this call for S.W.A.T.?" Beth whispered so not to be heard. Julie shook her head and whispered back,
"It depends on what they are asking for, if it's just money then no, but if this is going to be a central command post that will be used to take over the command of the airport like I think they will, then yes."
"Oo, we get to meet your brother! This will be a lovely way for him to find out you're in LA. He comes to 7/11 to wipe out a terrorist threat and finds his sister there instead" Both girls looked at each other and tried not to laugh.
For the next hour, Beth and Julie huddle by the refrigerator listening to the demands being made by the terrorists. Julie was right, they were there to take control of the airport so they could use it against the US forces. They were asking for 10 million dollars and 5 different top security prisoners, although they did not intend to take the money or criminals, they were just buying time. Julie, having the mind of a S.W.A.T. officer in the making, began to scope out all possible exits and entrances that they might leave through or S.W.A.T. might enter through. Just as Julie noticed to a trap door in the floor behind the rows of Lemonade and Coke, in a room used to store drinks, she turned to Beth, showed her were the door was and muttered in her ear,
"If the S.W.A.T. is coming, that is the best spot to come in so, keep an eye on-" Before Julie could finish her sentence she saw the door lift slightly. Beth and Julie exchanged glances and smiled, both saying together, "Speak of the devil"
While gazing through the breaks in the metal rows, they watched as 4 figures climbed out of the hole in the ground and hide behind a cement pillar, still visible to Beth and Julie, sitting at the back of the store. After a moment of conversing, 2 of the S.W.AT. officers lay on their stomachs and crawled across the floor over to a spot right in front of were the girls sat. For the first time Beth noticed a vent underneath the door to the cooler, as if moved slightly.
"There is no way a man will be able to squeeze through that space." Whispered Beth to Julie. Julie smirked and replied,
"I bet you," her eyes wandered around looking for an object to use for betting, "1 can of Pringles, 2 bags of M&Ms, and a box of toothpaste, that they can get one person through there." Both girls' eyes looked eagerly at the vent, waiting so see who won.
At that moment, the vent was removed and pulled into the back room. With only a slight rustling they saw and man trying to fit his body through the vent but after a moments pause, they heard whispering,
"Shit, my head is stuck."
"Well that's not my fault, I told you to stop spiking your hair."
"But Kat thinks its hott and that isn't the reason."
"Well then it's because you head is just way too fucking big."
"Fine then you do it."
"Fine, I will." After a bit of grunting, the man finally extracted himself from the tunnel and the other man slid into it. He much further then the last one, so far they could see the top of his head, until he paused.
"Stuck?" Said the man not stuck in the vent, in a sweetly innocent way.
"Go make out with Jimmy!" he said breathless, as if he was being squeezed (he was). Both girls exchanged looks and devious smiles, that name meant one thing.
"I told you to stop talking about that, I was drunk! Plus you did try and hit on me until you ran into a pole and was knocked out."
"Remind me to beat the hell out of you."
After a brief pause, the journey through the tunnel continued, until a tall, blonde, muscular man pulled himself out of the tunnel and fell onto the floor. He quickly looked around and spotted Julie and Beth who were watching him and began the speech that was given to all "hostages".
"Hi, my name is Will and I am a member of S.W.A.T., please be as quiet as possible and we will try to get you out of here as soon as possible." Julie sighed and rolled her eyes. No duh, I didn't see that coming. Apparently, S.W.A.T. is getting dumber…and hotter.
"I hope you guys hurry up because the short man with the pink shoe laces will be making his rounds to check on us is about, 15 minutes." Will sat there in shock for a moment, surprised to find such a calm and intelligent teenager sitting in front of him. Beth seeing the admiration and surprise added,
"Yah, it will help if you have your partner crawl through with his arms in front of him." Realizing where he was, Will cam to his senses and turned to face the glass door to the cooler.
"Beck, try again and I'll pull you all the way out." After taking 10 minutes of trying to pull Beck out and finally succeeding, a tall, muscular man with broad shoulders squatted in front of the girls.
"Thank Will," he whispered, directing this comment towards his fellow officer. "As for you fine ladies, you have nothing to worry about, we will have you out of here in no time." Beth replied this time.
"Good, because we have places to go and people to meet. I hope that you have more officers here than just you two." Beck answer slightly taken aback.
"Yes, we have 4 more on their way." Just as he finished that sentence, 4 men came out of the junk food section and the magazine section. With out glancing at the girls, the leader, who had black hair that looked exactly like Julie's, began telling the group what to do.
"Will and Chris, go through the pretzel and cinnamon bun section that leads to the opposite side of the cash register, Mark and Vince, go through the magazine section and use your tranquizers to shoot the terrorist that you can from that range and Beck and I will shoot from the Gum section, behind the display." All six pt their hands in a pile and whispered, "S.W.A.T."
As the group dressed in uniforms set off to do their individual missions, Julie turned to Beth and told her,
"The guy talking was my brother. Something tells me that they will need back up since they don't know about the 6th terrorist who is dressed as a civilian. Stay close behind me by try not to get shot of noticed by anyone, friend of foe. Oh, and also, can I borrow a hat because I don't want my brother to see me and get distracted so that he gets hurt?" After Beth gave Julie the hat, the dynamic duo set off behind Julie's brother and Beck, taking care not to be seen or heard by anyone. When they reached a point were they could hide but see everything they stopped and waited. About 2 minutes later they saw 3 of the terrorist crumple to the floor silently, complements of Mark and Vince. Now it was Will and Chris's turn to take care of the man who was working on the computer behind the cash register that was now empty. Chris aimed and fired but just as he pulled the trigger, the man bent down to a second computer that was sitting on the floor, and the tranquilizer hit the villain that Jim and Beck were supposed to take out. When the man straightened up and noticed his missing colleague, he grabbed the gun out of his pants and held it up to the wounded cashier's head.
"Any police get out were I can see you and put down your weapons or this old man dies!" shouted the criminal with an audible Mexican ascent. All six of the S.W.A.T. members slowly stood up and dropped their weapons. Julie sighed and turned to Beth who had a concerned look plastered across her face and whispered,
"It is so sad that we have to save S.W.A.T. when they are supposed to be doing the saving." Beth watched her with surprise as she put on Beth's hat and crawled away to carry out her mission to save the world.
Jim's POV
The Mexican man was making his demands when suddenly a short girl in a hat stood up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. The fuckwit turned around ready to shoot who ever had tapped him but before he was even able to move his gun in her direction, she landed a heavy punch on his face. He stumbled backwards clutching his nose and yelling in pain. Damn, this girl is good. Suddenly a man dressed in a suit stood up behind her and was in the process of pulling his gun out when, as if she already knew he was behind her, she turn around and gave him a swift kick in the stomach, causing him to double over. Man #1 had recovered slightly from his first hit and ran towards the mysterious girl as if he was trying to knock her over but when he was only a few inches from her, she elbowed him in the already broken nose, which caused so much pain he was knocked unconscious. She's good… maybe too good. Will quickly and intelligently grabbed his gun shot Man #1 before he could wake up and was about to shoot Man #2 when the girl grabbed his (Man #2, not Will's) head and smashed it against the counter, probably giving the poor man a concussion. I wonder…
Not Jim's POV
Julie brushed off her shirt and hands while all the S.W.A.T. officers rushed forward to take the terrorists into custody and to check the hurt cashier's wounds. It was during this commotion that Julie blended into the crowd of news reporters and police officers who had suddenly appeared to cover this "top priority" story to find Beth and sit down (her feet really hurt, who knew kicking someone in the gut would hurt so much).
20 minutes later Julie and Beth could be found sitting in the back room that the S.W.A.T. officers had come out of only an hour before, laying on their stomachs looking through the vent at the people walking bys' shoes and saying what they told about the owner.
"Overweight police officer who's wife is having an affair."
"An ugly journalist who got plastic surgery and is guilty."
"The poor cashier's grandson from Italy."
"A spy for the Asians and a double agent for the Mexicans."
"A poser Goth who is wearing a thong for the first time."
"A man just looking for some dang twizzlers!" Beth and Julie cracked up at this inside joke until Julie made a guess that was so creepily accurate, it was scary.
"Will and Mark." As if they heard their names, the feet stopped and the men bent down and lay on the floor. When their faces appeared on the opposite side of the vent Julie was the first to speak.
"Hey." Will replied casually.
"Hey, aren't you the girls who were in the back of the store when we come out?" This time Beth answered.
"Yep."
Will's POV
I know this was a bit childish of me but some how I felt attracted towards the girl with the brooding eye. The other, older, girl was pretty too, there was no doubt, but there was something in her eyes that were filled with mystery and wonderment that caused me to feel differently towards her. I had no idea what her name was, how old she was, or where she lived, but I still felt like there was some kind of connection. Oh great, I'm beginning to sound gay…wait that would mean she was really a guy and she was NOT a guy, her breasts were too big to be man boobs. I need to be locked up.
Not Will's POV
There was an awkward silence until Mark asked the most obvious question.
"So… what are you guys doing in here?"
"Waiting."
"For who?"
Just before either girl could answer, 4 people walked up and it was Jim's voice that spoke.
"Beck, Chris, Vince and I are going to get a beer so if you guys want to come then get your asses of the floor and let's go."
"Bye." whispered Will, losing his nerve to ask the girl for her name and number. As the S.W.A.T team walked away, Beth turned to Julie as if waiting for instructions on what to so next. Julie answered her look is a mischievous voice.
"I hope they have their Pampers on 'cause they're gonna need them!"
Later on, approximately 30 minutes later, Jim, Will, Chris, Vince, Mark, and Beck were walking down an empty ally that was dark from the shadows of the over hanging buildings, when Will noticed 2 people walking behind them. Noticing wanting to cause a false alarm, Will turned his head slightly as if he was talking to Vince who was standing next to him and saw that is was, once again, the two girls from 7/11. The first thing he noticed was that they had changed from their wrinkling and smelly clothes into new outfits. The older, brunette was wearing a white sundress that was quite flattering to her figure and white Addias tennis shoes, while the raven-haired beauty was wearing a black halter top that showed off her impressive (a/n you get the picture. I don't want to get too into detail…), a ripped pair of jeans with fishnets underneath, black and red Vans, and had her hair piled up in a messy bun near the top of her head. Not sure whether to sound the alarm or not worry about it, Will fell behind the group do he was only slightly behind his friends. He only had to take a few steps until they caught up to him.
"Hey Will."
"Hi, what are you guys doing here?"
"I wanted to show you something really funny."
"…Ok..." Without a word, the duo slipped through a door and was lost from Will's sight. He only had to wait a moment for them to appear on a fire escape, 1 story above him. With his mind racing he waited for something to happen.
As the group passed by a balcony with the two girls perched on it, a feminine voiced called out.
"Long time no see Jimmy."
