Yay, I got a new chapter up! Some of you sci-fi fans might recognize a small part near the end of the chapter and if you recognize it, you might know where this story's inspiration came from. :P
Brennan's PoV
I was freaking out. Something I didn't do on a normal basis. Hell, something I didn't do on a occasional basis! I had to choose between the FBI agent's lives and letting these bastards go with us, having no evidence against them. Either way, people were going to lose lives. This gang would not stop murdering innocent and even not so innocent people, and without the FBI agents that were stuck in that building, who knows how many murderers could escape being put in prison. I glanced at Cullen who was talking with a few agents and sighed. His best agents were inside that building and I was the one who had to make a decision. Ortez would only take my decision and Cullen can't force me to go with whatever he chooses.
My thinking came to a sudden stop. Cullen's best agents were in there. The best agents don't get known as the best agents by getting smooth sailing. They get known for going through situations such as this and making it out alive and they don't always have to rely on someone like me getting them out. Chances were, some of those agents had plans and some of them might already be put into action. However, regardless if they have a plan or not, I need one as well. I glanced at my watch. I had five minutes. Better start planning.
Ortez's PoV
Temperance Brennan seemed to be calm, but even from several dozen yards away I can hear the gears in her brain turning. I did tell her three years ago that she thought too much. She must not have listened to me. I gave her a simple choice. A beautiful woman like her and a extremely handsome man like me is perfect. But no, she had to choose the hard way out. The wrong way out. I knew exactly what was going to happen within the next ten minutes. She would make her decision, and everyone was going to die with exception being me and her and this time I knew how to calm her fiery side.
"Ortez, we got problems," one of the guards from downstairs growled. "Some of the prisoners have escaped from their rooms, their guards unconscious."
"What about Agent Booth?" I asked.
"He's fine. Prisoners ain't no where near him."
I smirked, and pointed towards several more of the people, "All of you, get down there and take care of the prisoners. Do whatever you want to do with them. I'll take care of Booth."
They grabbed their guns and hurried down the hall. I turned towards the phone in the corner, picked it up and dialed a number.
When it was picked up, I ordered, "Carmen, carry out the execution."
"Yes sir," he replied.
I hung up with the biggest grin on my face. Now the best fun begins. Be ready to bow to me Temperance Brennan.
Brennan's PoV
I began pacing. I was terrified to look at my watch to find out exactly how much time I had left to come to a conclusion. I haven't come up with a plan and i haven't come to a conclusion as to which decision I should make. No one else in the area had been any bit of help to me either. My bet, they don't want to be to blame if this goes bad. I can't even come up with a plan so there is no way in hell I can negotiate with this bastard. Ortez was going to call any second now and I was so not ready for it.
I turned back towards the table when I heard the beeping of Ortez calling us. Everyone came towards the table and I turned the radio up.
"It's over Temperance." Ortez sounded giddy. I knew this wasn't good. "Booth has been executed. Apparently a few of the guards here were a little trigger happy."
I bit my tongue to stop myself from yelling something I would regret just yet. I waited to see if he would say anything else.
"It's done. Now, I suggest you think about the rest of the agents and surrender."
I closed my eyes and took a moment to harden myself. He was not going to win this. I would not let him.
"NO!" I yelled into the mic. "Not now, not ever! I don't give a damn if this puts me behind bars, but I will use everything I can get my hands on to end all of you. I swear it. But most importantly, I'm coming for you!
Points to the line above. The title of this story didn't just mean coming for Booth. hehe. I'll try to update soon!
