"Sir, the helicopter is landing on the roof"
Barracks turned round and faced the agent that had just entered the room.
"Good, go and meet the doctor and get him down here quickly."
The agent ran over to the doors and ran up the stairs.
"How's he doing?" Barracks asked the nurse.
"He's not going to last much longer. We need a doctor now or we'll lose him."
3 agents burst in.
"Sir we have to move the President now. The attackers are moving in and more have arrived. We're losing agents fast." one shouted while firing outside.
"Dammit. They won't give up until the president is dead. Hurry, get over here and help me lift him to the roof," Barracks ordered.
"You can't. The pressure of lifting him will cause him to lose more blood which will instantly kill him. He need's to stay put."
Barracks looked at the nurse and then back at the door.
"Then he'll stay put." Barracks clicked his ear. "Wilson get the doctor down here quickly."
"Were on our way sir," Wilson replied.
1 agent at the door was suddenly shot down.
"Dammit," Barracks shouted.
He pulled out his weapon and went to the door.
He could see around 8 men hiding behind cars, all shooting at the building. Most of the secret service and L.A.P.D were down apart from Barrack's, the 2 agents at the door, Wilson, Grace and 2 of her agents.
Barrack's and his agents remained at the front door while Grace and her agents covered the door to the stairs where Wilson and the doctor were coming down.
Barracks fired a couple of rounds into 3 of the guys, leaving 5 still visible.
Another van arrived and more men got out, all of them with machine guns.
"This keeps getting worse. Where the hell is back up."
An explosion occurred from above shaking the building. Flames and metal fell from the sky and smashed into a car. The metal managed to kill another 3. The helicopter engulfed in flames fell and crashed into the newly arrived van causing another explosion.
"DAMMIT," Barracks shouted. "We need to get out now."
"Sir I have the doctor, we're on the 3rd level but there was an explosion and it's trapped us."
Barrack's clicked his ear. "Ok Wilson we'll be right up."
He turned to face Grace. "Miss Park's, you come with me and you 2 stand at the door."
The L.A.P.A agents obeyed and went to help keep the door secure.
Barrack's went over and was closely followed by Grace. They entered the stairway but found it hard to see with all the smoke.
"Keep close," Barracks said.
They made their way up the stairs until sure enough stones and bricks had blocked the stairway.
"The impact of the explosion must have caused the level above to break down. We'll have to try and move them without causing another stir"
"It's easier said than done," Grace remarked.
Barracks got down on his hands and knees and started to pull away the bricks lodged between each other.
Grace got down and helped.
"Sir?" Wilson shouted as he heard Barracks and Grace pulling the stones away.
"We're coming Wilson just hold on," Barracks replied.
"Sir there coming downstairs. They must have been in a helicopter as well and shot the other one down. I can't hold them off for much longer."
"Dammit," Barracks shouted again. "These bastards don't give up"
The wall of bricks suddenly gave way and crumbled down revealing Wilson and the doctor.
Bullets flew from the stair above as the terrorists moved in.
"Get down," Barracks shouted as he grabbed the doctor.
3 bullets pierced through Wilson, throwing him down the stairs and killing him.
Barracks looked at his dead body and saluted him.
"Grace cover me while I get the doctor down."
"Ok," Grace replied and she sent a steady flow of bullets up towards the attacker's.
Barracks and the doctor made their way down when a rock tumbled down and cracked into the doctor's ankle sending him down.
"ARGH," the doctor yelped in pain.
Barracks grabbed his arm and managed to drag him down through the doors.
"We got…" Barracks stopped as the room was filled with the masked terrorists.
A man which Barracks assumed to be the leader stepped forward and spoke
"Today will be the day America remembers as the death of President Palmer and the birth of President Keeler."
Barracks looked over at the dying Palmer and saw that the nurse had been shot as well.
"You think you'll get away with this? You're wrong."
The masked figure walked forward and brought his gun up towards Barracks head.
"You are a brave American, but not everyone is as brave as you"
He was about to fire when gunshots came from outside.
Barracks used this opportunity and grabbed the masked man's gun. He head butted him and then fired at the terrorists inside. The doctor ducked down and managed to grab a gun himself, using it to stop the man that was about to shoot him. The room became a blaze of bullets until Barracks and the doctor were the only remaining. The room was suddenly filled with F.B.I agents.
"About time to," Barracks remarked as they went around checking if anyone was alive.
The doctor limped over to Palmer. "He'll need an adrenaline shot and fast."
"Give him anything and she dies"
Everyone turned to face the foreign voice as a man stood with his arm around Grace's neck and a gun pointed deep into her skull.
"Get the president what he needs. I'm willing to sacrifice my life for his," Grace cried.
"Shut up," The shooter shouted and pressed the gun deeper into her head.
Barracks slyly aimed at the terrorist's leg and was ready to fire after giving a signal to Grace. Grace's eyes had welled up and she looked over at Barracks, who let her see his weapon ready. She nodded slightly and Barrack's took the chance. He fired and caught him in the leg, letting Grace throw her head back hitting. Grace ducked to the floor and every agent in the room fired at the terrorist.
Barracks ran over to Grace. "You ok"
"I'm fine. I shouldn't have been so careless."
"Hey, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for a man that is dying. That shows me how although you made a mistake, you were willing to take the consequences."
Grace smiled and there was a slight glint in her eye that made Barracks smile as well.
Their gaze was broken as the doctor shouted out.
"He's going to make it"

"Is Ed ready?" Tony asked as he waited outside the interrogation room which Craven was in.
"Yeah he's on his way. Where's Michelle by the way?" Chapelle asked.
"She's down in the infirmary with Chase. She should be back soon."
Chapelle nodded. "Good, we need everyone we can get now."
Chloe ran down the corridor where Chapelle and Tony were standing.
"The plane that Jack just landed in has blown up. Everyone is assumed dead and we can't get in contact with anyone."
"You're kidding right?" Chapelle asked.
"Yeah cause I like to kid about that stuff. Of course I'm not kidding."
"Ah dammit. It must have something to do with President Palmer and the rest of today's events."
Chapelle turned to face Tony. "Get Michelle up here now, I need her to take care of this Craven guy."
"Sir I think it's best if someone else does the interrogating…"
"I don't Tony, that's final."
He turned back round to Chloe. "Get our nearest team over there now."
Chloe nodded and went away.
"Tony after you get Michelle you head a team out to the airport."
Tony couldn't say anything else as Chapelle walked away.
Tony sighed and made his way to medical.
Chapelle was on his way to his office when he bumped into a man in a clean cut suit.
"Ryan Chapelle?" The man asked in his English accent.
"Yes and you are?"
"Clark Coleman, I've been sent by division to keep an eye on the situation over here as I have been informed that information has been leaked from here about President Palmer's location."
Chapelle shook his head. "You must be mistaken Mr Coleman as…"
Coleman interrupted him. "Mr Chapelle, I will be taking over C.T.U for the time being until the mole is smoked out. These are my colleagues Adam Kaufman and Valentina Milan, both who will be working closely with your team to help find your double agent quicker."
Chapelle was speechless.
"And your office is?"
Chapelle pointed upstairs and showed some anger as Coleman smirked and made his way up to Chapelle's office to make himself comfy.
"Do you have workplaces for us Mr Chapelle?" Valentina asked.
Chapelle looked over at Kim and Chase's empty desks.
"Yeah over there"
4:25
Craven was getting tired of waiting and was tired of thinking over his plan.
The door opened and Michelle walked in followed by the torturer Ed.
"Your full name please?" she asked as she sat down directly across from Craven, not daring to make eye contact.
"Cut the crap Michelle. I'll give up all the information I know for full immunity and to be put in the witness protection scheme with a nice house and a nice cheque in my hand."
Michelle glared at him. "That won't be happening and you know it. I can get you a nice cell with a nice roommate who won't touch you but…"
"Michelle, I'm giving you the easy option. I just want to be free again. Then I'll make things a lot easier for you. Believe me you'll find the person behind the attacks in no time."
Michelle was hesitant but knew he was right. She also knew that he had planned this from start and knew if he was caught, he could easily become free just by giving up useful information.
"Fine. Ed, go and get it printed off."
Craven grinned.

Jack was woken when he was dragged violently out of a car. He saw he was on Sunset road and looked at the L.A morgue he was being dragged to. The doors were automatically opened as he and the men dragging him approached. This was their base.
When they entered the stench was almost unbearable and could now see why they were wearing masks. He was dragged to a room and then pushed in.
"Kate?" He said as he saw a blonde woman lying still on the ground.
"Kate. Let go."
Jack struggled with the guards however failed as they pounded his head with the gun. Jack held his bleeding head but never took his gaze off Kate.
Nina had walked up behind him. "Jack, we've already taken care of Kim, we won't be afraid to hurt Kate here. If you do a job for us, you and her walk away from this. Alive."
Jack shook his head. "I'm not doing anything for you."
"Aw come on Jack. I hope you're still not bearing a grudge from me killing Teri."
"Not only that but you betrayed the country and now killed my daughter, grudge doesn't even come close."
Nina laughed slightly. "Ok I'll admit I did the first things but I didn't kill Kim. No that was all my partner's doing."
Marie entered the room. "Yip afraid that was me. Sorry but she has everything I don't. It isn't fair."
Jack swung round and kicked Nina bringing her down. The guards quickly kicked Jack in the ribs and then in the face giving Nina time to stand up again.
"Always the quick mover Jack. You better decide what your next move will be or else Marie will happily kill her sister and I will have the pleasure of killing you."
