Chapter 9: Blue Impala
Sam leaned back in her seat and rubbed her eyes.
"So, if Dornvald worked for Adisa..."
"Why kill Julia?" Jack finished.
"Yeah."
"He probably figured that it would cause Paige to shoot Gamba. She never knew about any of this."
Silence lingered a few moments before Jack continued, " You know, I'm thinking that they both worked for the Liberation, Akinsanya and Dornvald. They were both spying on the government. Only Akinsanya secretly talked to Gamba."
"Double agent?"
"Exactly."
"Jack!" VanDoren called, "We have a location."
----------------------------
"The F.B.I. is a flurry of activity after two agents were taken last night. N.Y.P.D. responded to gunfire and discovered that Agents Taylor and Fitzgerald were taken along with suspected terrorist Adisa Teno. Deputy Director Victor Fitzgerald told us that they are doing everything in their power to bring the agents home safetly. They suspect that the abduction is tied to the battle in Makeba."
Vivian turned off the television, feeling sick at the thought of her friends in such danger.
"Honey, get some rest. It'll work out."
She turned to look at her husband and smiled, knowing that he was doing his best to make her feel better.
"You don't know that," she stated.
He squeezed her hand and kissed her forehead. "Get some rest." He stood up and left her to her thoughts.
"Lord, be with them," she silently prayed, something she hadn't done in a long time.
-------------------
Jack stood next to a bench in Central Park. A black duffle sat on the bench. He continually glanced around him. As instructed in the call, Paige stood on the other side of the pond.
Agents watched from parked cars, a few walked dogs, snipers were stationed in buildings across the street as a precaution.
A man approached Paige, his face hidden by a hat. He took ahold of her elbow and began to stear her away.
Jack took a step towards her, but was stopped by a voice from behind. Akinsanya began to walk towards Jack.
"Where're you going?" he taunted, his tone threatening.
Jack placed a hand on the duffle.
"Hold positions," VanDoren's command came over the ear pieces each agent had.
"Where are our agents?"
"We held up our end of the deal," he pointed to a blue car on the opposite side of the street.
An agent confirmed that there were two people in the car over the radio using the body heat detector gun.
A/N: I'm not sure of the true name of this gun, but I know it exists!
"Now hand over the money," Akinsanya demanded.
Jack took a step back from the bench allowing Akinsanya access. He unzipped the bag and checked the money. He zipped it back, picked it up, and began to walk away.
"Hold," VanDoren's command came again
Two seconds passed. A shot rang out. Akinsanya fell.
"I said hold positions!" VanDoren yelled.
"That wasn't us!" A man replied over the radio.
"He's dead," Gray confirmed, "It had to be a sniper."
Agents rushed to the scene, herding off civilians, securing the perimeter and running to the blue Impala. The ambulences
that had been stationed around the corner now sped to the car. They pulled Danny and Martin out of the car and onto the gurneys. Danny was alert and relying information to the paramedics, but Martin was out and medics surrounded him. Samantha raced from the park to his side. The medics shooed her away as they prepared him for transport.
"Sam!" Danny greeted.
She turned around and rushed to his side, trying to keep the tears from falling.
"Danny, oh my god, you're-" she didn't bother to finish the sentence, just hugged him.
VanDoren and Jack appeared just as the boys were being loaded into the ambulence. Sam looked at Jack, who turned and looked at Paula. She understood the unspoken question.
"We're covered here," she stated, "Take a detour to the office."
"Thank you," Jack replied.
"Wait," Sam said suddenly as VanDoren began to walk away. "Where's Paige?"
"She got away in the chaos, but we have people scouring the area." VanDoren returned to the crime scene.
Jack nodded towards the ambulence, "Go with Martin, I'll take Danny."
"Um, but," Sam began to protest, unsure. Jack didn't hear and he climbed in with Danny. Sam turned and jumped in with Martin. They sped off, lights and sirens running.
The medics revived Martin. One turned to Sam and instructed, "Keep talking to him, keep him awake and alert."
"Hey," she said, taking his hand.
His eyes met hers.
"Hey," he croaked.
"Hurts like hell, huh?"
He nodded, a smile playing across his lips.
"I told you not to get shot," she scolded, jokingly.
"It really isn't all its cracked up to be," he replied, recalling the conversation. His words began to slur.
A tear slid down Samantha's cheek.
His eyes drifted shut.
"Martin? Stay with me, stay awake!
"Martin!"
