Wow, it's been over a year since I updated. Thanks to one very dedicated reader, I decided to update. I made a promise and I always go through with my promises. So sit back and relax everyone and enjoy the reading.

Faith watched as her new group of officers fanned around the building. Snipers peeked out from several vantage points and squad cars blocked all streets. Inside, she hoped Bosco was still alive.

"Where is he!" Mann bellowed as he stormed through the school halls. Two of his men followed him. "I can't believe you thought that I would allow him to move about the school!"

"Sir, we knew that you let him out of his cuffs, we assumed-"

Mann stopped, turned and grabbed a gun from the other man. He aimed it at the one who just spoke, "You know what assuming does to you?" He let off three rounds into the man's chest. He fell with a loud slap to the floor. Mann glared at the dead man, "It makes an ass out of you, but not me." Mann turned to his follower. "Any problems?" The man shook his head, "Good, get him out of here. I got a cop to find."

"Well, these three exits are pretty noticeable." Mark told Bosco, pointing to the drawing in the cop's hands.

"What about these two, where are these?"

"This one is down the hall and to the left. There's a metal grating sealing it, but we've since unscrewed it. The other one is just around the corner. That one is actually a staircase. When you open the door, it looks like an old broom closet, but there's actually a hole in the wall. You pull it towards you, and there's the stairs. The reason that all these secret places are still here is because this school used to be a boarding house. All the passage ways couldn't be removed without fear of collapse."

"Got it, so which one do you think-" Bosco stopped.

"What? What do I think of what?"

"Quiet. Put it away. Sit down, act scared."

"What? Why?"

"Just do it! They're coming!" The kids rushed into a corner and started to sob. i> Nice acting, though I doubt that it is. i>

The door slammed open and Mann walked in. He walked over to Bosco and punched him hard across the face. Bosco spit out the blood and looked up at Greg.

"How are your arrangements?"

"Fine."

"You seem to have made a few new friends."

"Not really. They're pretty scared, they don't talk much."

"Good. You're coming with me. We've got to send another message to your lover Yokas."

Bosco reeled on Mann, his leg no longer an issue. Slamming his body into Mann, he tackled him to the ground. Mann, surprised from his attack, only took the blow head on. Bosco pinned him to the ground and started his assault of punches. Mann didn't fight back, he'd get his revenge. Plus, his man was already there.

Pinning Bosco's arms, Mann's accomplice yanked him back. Bosco fought to get at Mann, but couldn't break free. Mann stood and wiped the blood from his face.

"Bring him."

Mann headed for the front doors as Bosco was dragged behind.
