A/N: This chapter is from Callie's POV.

I am trying so hard to stop the flashes of happy memories flashing before my eyes so that I can try and accept the horrible situation I'm currently in.

I am struggling to hold myself together before I am ripped apart both emotionally and physically. It is taking immense strength for me to try and function like a sane person because normally a person under these circumstances can become irrational, abnormal, and illogical.

And who can blame them?

"We have a deal. Please don't screw this shit… let's keep this as planned" He gravely informed me while double checking the black walkie-talkie like device in his hand.

I was standing with my legs and arms apart while they were fitting the suicide bomb vest on me. I had only seen these things on CNN when they talked about a terrorist blowing himself up in places unimaginable. I honestly never paid attention to those things because of my hectic schedule. I know it sounds like a pathetic excuse but at least it's a truthful one.

This feels heavy.

Heavy on my body.

But so much heavier on my soul.

"The lead cord looks good" Alex confidently noted while tugging the back part of the vest.

I was trembling within with such fear that if I let this situation sink in my heart for another second, I would probably blow up before this bomb. I deceived my mind to shift its focus from this suicide vest to something more pleasant and thought-worthy.

I reflected about the days when we spent the weekend with Mama, Papa, and Aria.

"I am going to throw this snowball if you " Arizona threatened while hiding behind Papa.

"Papa, I honestly cannot believe you are on her side…" I said in disbelief while I mischievously hid the snowball in my hand.

"Calliope, you started this mija" Papa said while protecting the equally mischievous Arizona who was giggling behind him.

"I am still gonna get you…" I started to pace towards them.

"Oh no you're not!" Arizona threw the snowball straight to my face and ran as fast as she could with Papa who was obviously not capable of handling such activities.

"Hey you…" he snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Are you listening?" he immediately asked.

"I am…" I slowly whispered.

"Alex, get out and check if the other hostages are ready. Tell, Jake to make sure they are as far away from the door as possible. Especially the fucking cashier! If he dies, we are in a shit load of trouble. Keep them close to the beverage section. If the cops ring again, give the phone to me and don't say a damn word." Jim commanded without a trace of regret or fear. He safely placed the remote control device in his shirts left pocket and checked his watch.

The suicide bomb vest is secure and felt like the closest thing to tragic death. It seemed startlingly tailored to my body size. It covered my entire stomach area and the straps eerily matched my shoulders.

Can things get any worse? I thought in despair.

"You could've just used a gun to my head… like earlier" I whispered.

"This has more meaning, it makes things much more dangerous for them…and this is a certain escape route for us..." He dangerously explained.

"I see and you pointing a gun makes this less dangerous?" I shot back.

"They have expensive government funded weapons. Weapons with laser beams and silencer and things that you could only dream about. I can be hit within a blink of an eye." He looked at me directly to make sure I was listening.

"You can create something as deadly as those weapons with less than ¼ the fund" He added. He was close enough to where I can smell his minty breath from the gum that he was chewing.

"You wearing this vest creates a more…psychological impact and it makes them more cautious of their moves both technologically and strategically." He added. I clearly understood his lethal words.

He pulled out my phone from his pocket and checked the battery. There was a small crack on the LCD screen but it seemed like it was on operational mode nonetheless.

"Ari baby? Wow, 50 missed calls" He read and chuckled.

"Just leave her out of this" I immediately warned. I couldn't bear this jackass even taking her name.

"Her? You don't look the lesbian type honestly" He nauseatingly joked.

"I am ready to be your scapegoat or whatever. Let's just get this shit over with" I spat.

"Actually, you know what , why don't you give your last goodbye to your Ari baby. I mean you are doing a huge favor for me and this is the least I can do." He slowly scrolled through my contacts. I felt the last hint of hope slowly fade away. I had no clue what to tell Arizona . Do I tell her that I am wrapped as a Christmas suicide present? Do I pretend that I am okay till she finds out the hard way on the news? Do I just listen to her sweet voice and end the call?

I just looked at his hand when he extended the phone towards me.

"This is a joke right?..." I continued to stare at his hands.

"I will offer this one last time… take it" He tapped the phone on the side of the jacket.

I stood still.

Very still.

He made it very clear who was in control and who will be making the decisions.

This was probably the first time I moved after I wore the jacket. I took the phone from his hand and stared at the crack of the LCD. I took a deep breath to clear my thoughts but nothing in the world could stop the arrhythmia in my heart when I heard her voice.

"Hi…" I whispered.

"Calliope, gosh…where are you?" I immediately detected the sound of worry and agony in Ari's voice. I knew that she wasn't taking this very lightly. I wonder if she looked for me beyond the walls of our apartment. I wondered if she got my message I took a beating for.

"I…um… It's… a long story" I did not know what else to say. I looked up to see if Jim was listening and he clearly was. He probably was looking out if I was going to reveal anything significant enough to damage his plans.

"I looked everywhere for you… the hospital… the stores... " She sighed on the phone.

" Arizona …" I wanted to say this quickly before my voice started cracking and I started giving in to my tears.

"Calliope, Where are you!" She asked sounding terrified. "Where are you…!" She repeated to make sure I heard her.

" Ari- Arizona … I.." I started choking.

"Calliope, What is going on? Where are you!!" She was almost screaming now.

" Arizona , I – I will always…always love you please remember that" I firmly added.

"What…" She was confused and felt chills go through her body.

"I will never find anyone like you and I have counted my blessings a thousand times because of you." Tears were slowly welling up in my eyes. I heard Owen in the background and Arizona was yelling something on the phone. I was about to tell her to calm down when Jim snatched the phone from my hand.

"This shit is just too heartbreaking" He smirked and turned off my phone and threw it on the floor. I let my tears flow because I finally let the reality sink in. I finally gave fear the permission to set in and permeate my soul. I wanted to tell her more but my words seemed inadequate.

Jim double checked everything on the jacket and hid the wireless transmitter in his pocket. He took the gun from the table and inspected the remaining bullets and then turned the safety off.

"Never attempt to take the jacket off because it will automatically go off. Be extra careful with the wires in the back. I have the wireless trigger to shut the mechanism down. Do as I say and don't attempt to be the fucking superhero. You got that?" He cocked the gun and pushed in deeper into his pocket.

I nodded.

"Great, let's get this show on the road then"
