Chapter 9- Help is on the Way

When they arrived. Tony shut off the engine and parked down the street. "Can you hide under the seat?" Tony asked

"Yeah, cause I'm short" she said happily

"Ok now only come out for your mom don't let anyone else see you or else we will lose ok?"

"Got it you can count on me!" she said proudly

Tony locked the car and ran down the street. He approached the side of the house and listened in through the window "Did you ID him!?"

Silence then a scream

"Shut up! Now tell me what I wanna know! Did you identify the man at CTU!?"

Silence and another horrible shriek. Tony took one last glance at his SUV as he turned the corner to go into the backyard. He put a silencer on his gun and crept toward the backyard, he noted that the whole backyard was surrounded in woods. He spotted one man right inside the back door, which was only closed with a screened door, he silently took out the man and dragged him out of sight. He walked into what looked like a sunroom through the back door. He heard another scream come from the room down the hall and he rushed towards it. To his pleasant surprise it was only guarded by one man, who he shot. He entered the room S.W.A.T. style shot the two men and the third held Michelle with a knife at throat.

"I'll slit her throat if you try anything" he said his eyes darting everywhere looking for anything to help his situation.

Michelle looked weak. She looked limp and her eyes were only half open.

(MEANWHILE)

Down the street…

Debbie pulled up next to Michelle's SUV. She knocked on the window and whispered "Jillian. Its Mommy let me in" Jillian poked her head out and smiled.

"Mommy!" she screamed with joy "We won Mommy!"

Debbie's eyes started to water "Uh huh" she wiped her eyes "Baby open the door for mommy" Jill did so and Debbie quickly got her back into their car as she sped off towards Michelle's house to wait for Keith Dessler.

(BACK AT THE HOUSE WITH Tony AND Michelle)

"Just put the gun down buddy," he said "or I swear if you care about her you'll be sorry"

Michelle motioned her head back and Tony saw what se was going to do "Ok Ok I am lowering my weapon, just don't hurt her" as soon as Tim relaxed Michelle slammed the back of her head into his face taking him by surprise. Tony immediately moved her out of the way and pointed his gun straight at Timothy's forehead as he wiped his nose from the nosebleed he had just gotten.

"'Chelle call CTU" he said tossing her his cell phone. Which she did immediately.
