The two percent rule is that you have to be two percent smarter then the object that you are working with; but this only makes me worry. How many people can't open a pickle jar?

Lisa sat in the office after picking up an unusual conversation.

Voice one: "What do you think Ripner'll do to the girl in the other room once we're done?"

Voice two: "I heard the plan was to take her back to the base; I don't know what'll happen after that but I know that Mac's interested in the gal."

Voice one: "I also heard that Crane was to, so who knows where she'll end up…"

Voice two: "How do ya think he'll convince her to take out Keefe?"

Voice one: "I think he'll give her the satisfaction of killing Jake after what he did."

Voice two: "Has he told her yet? I mean about what he and the boss did."

Voice one: "No, not yet but just what until he does, she'll want to rip him too shreds! Then Crane'll get his hands into her!"

Voice two: "That oughta be funny!"

This was followed by laughter that suggested that there was a crowd standing them; Lisa gave a small shudder as the door open and in walked Jackson. "Let some of the hostages go, please," she pleaded not looking at him she didn't trust herself to look at him.

"Can't Leese sorry," he said simply looking down at her with no pity in his eyes as she stood to her feet. Jackson opened his mouth to say something but before he could Lisa's lips were on his for a second they were just sitting on his, but then he placed a hand on the back of her head and pushed her closer to him. They stood there lost in the kiss for a few moments then Lisa pulled away taking a breath, "Please, let some of the hostages go."

He smirked at her and leaning down placed a kiss on her cheek; she didn't even flinch as he did so and she assumed he got her offer. "I'll take the offer under consideration," he said as he turned and left. Lisa felt her skin crawl as she thought of the offer she had just made even though she didn't say a word. What she did filled in the blanks and the look in Jackson's eyes told her that he got the message. But if she hadn't said anything does that still make it an offer?

Joe ran up to Mike nearly in a panic, "Where is Lisa? What's going on?" he shouted as heballed his fists.

"Joe, we are trying to get her out as soon as possible Keefe is just… preparing," he said and his eyes darkened.

"Preparing for what? Why is he hesitating?"

"Mr. Keefe is preparing to dies sir."

!#$&(

Lisa heard a few shouts from the lobby followed gunfire curious she stood and tried the door handle. To her surprise it opened freely she stepped out to see that the doors to the lobby were open and that at least twenty-five people were being shoved through the entrance. "Lisa, come with me," she heard some one hissed in herearand then felt someone drag her into the indoor garage which also happened to be the back entrance.

"Baxter what do you want?"

"Keefe is gonna be coming through that garage door over there in a few minutes now I want to be aware of something. Jackson still does want you to kill Keefe and I know what he's gonna be holding over your head he wants me to tell you. He said that you knew who had raped you and he will tell you and give the satisfaction of watching him die."

Baxter looked into Lisa's broken eyes as she thought for one moment back to the conversation that she had over heard.

"Just answer me one thing, it was Jake, wasn't it?"

!#$&(

Keefe walked through the open garage door bracing himself for gunshots, someone jumping out with a knife, anything that he could think of. But the one that he didn't brace himself was the sight in front of him, Lisa was holding a handgun standing her ready position that he had seen so man times at the shooting range; only this time the gun wasn't aimed at some fake bank robber, but at him.

"Shoot him, Leese!" Jackson shouted.

"Who was it, Jackson?" she shouted back at him confusing Keefe.

"Shoot him, Leese!"

"Who was it, Jackson?"

"Shoot him now, Lisa!"

"Who did it, Jack?"

"There was more than one, Lisa!"

"Wrong answer," she said with a smirk and then turned and let out three shots narrowly missing Jackson. He ducked behind a few boxes and Lisa made a run for it grabbing Keefes upper arm as they ran out the huge opening. Lisa could hear shouts and gun shots as they ran but her world soon faded into black as the pills that she had taken moments before finally took effect.
