Chapter 5
Kareem grunted against his gag as he shifted on the sofa, struggling against his bonds, trying desperately to get between Tonya and his uncle. Abbas growled as he paced back and forth, enraged, he remained unfocused however. He clearly had no intentions of killing them yet. Kareem knew his uncle well; his fanaticism meant he had to rile himself up, a crowd that agreed with him usually helped with that. However, in this case, the crowd that had gathered outside the house was against him. The crowd outside consisted of the police, his parents and Tonya's parents, they had all gathered and were attempting to negotiate with Abbas. However their attempts served only to infuriate Abbas, Kareem was worried this would change his mind and he would act on impulse.
"Silence." Abbas growled into the phone. "You will not stop justice being done."
Kareem glared; he glanced over at Tonya who was trembling, tears in her eyes, trying desperately to protect their unborn child, but being unable to. Being bound and gagged just as tightly as Kareem.
He shook his head. 'He calls this justice, madman.'
Tonya then noticed what Kareem was trying to do; she caught his eye and shook her head. She didn't want him putting himself at risk. But Kareem refused to back down.
Outside Catherine and Nick stood with Mosab and Aadila; the police had the house surrounded and were ready to move at a moment's notice. However they needed to wait until they could guarantee the safety of the hostages.
"I can't believe this, how could one man cause so much chaos, for something as stupid as this." Catherine stated.
Mosab sighed and shook his head. "That's my brother for you, a madman; this is why I usually pretend I don't have one."
They all sighed; they turned their attention to the police negotiator who was trying, yet still failing to convince Abbas to back down.
Eventually Nick spoke. "There must be something we can do, this is getting us nowhere."
There was a long silence before finally, deciding there was now no other option, Mosab and Aadila walked over to the police negotiator and began taking part in the negotiation, trying to convince Abbas to back down. They did so in the hopes that someone he was familiar with would have a deeper effect than a police officer attempting to calm him down.
"Abbas, this is enough." Mosab told him. "You're making a big mistake…"
Abbas cut his brother off, his anger peaking. "No, you foolish heretic, it is you and Kareem and all of you who accept this sham as being proper that are making the mistake! I will not…!"
He was suddenly cut off; they heard the sounds of a struggle then, suddenly a gunshot. That was enough for the police and, acting immediately they rushed the house.
Inside, Kareem could tell his uncle's anger was rising, he had to act fast. But he was helpless, what could he do.
'Wait a minute, that's it.' An idea suddenly occurred to him.
He turned his back towards Tonya and motioned with his hands. Tonya understood and moved to, as best she could, and began trying desperately to untie Kareem. Finally she succeeded and Kareem was able to free himself, he removed his gag and stood up. He began creeping towards his uncle as he began raving.
"No, you foolish heretic, it is you and Kareem and all of you who accept this sham as being proper that are making the mistake! I will not…!"
Blinded by rage Kareem acted on instinct. He launched himself at his uncle and grabbed him, knocking him to the ground. Abbas yelled as he fell and immediately began struggling. Kareem fought back desperately, knowing he had to prevent his uncle from being able to use the gun. With that one thought he endured his uncle's blows and kept his uncle's right arm firmly away from him. He tried desperately to knock the gun out of his uncle's grasps when suddenly a shot went off. Luckily Kareem realized he hadn't been hit, nobody had. He quickly struck again, this time disarming Abbas, just as the police stormed the house and arrested Abbas while Kareem hurried and freed Tonya.
Tonya gasped, tears falling from her eyes as Kareem hugged her. They had been taken to hospital after being rescued and were now waiting to hear from doctors. Their parents sat with them, doing their best to reassure them that all would be well. Finally however, the moment they had been waiting for arrived as a doctor emerged and approached them.
"The baby?" Tonya asked, fearful. "Is she…?"
This was their main concern; it was already proven that they were both safe, which just left their child.
The doctor nodded gently. "She is fine, there has been no harm done."
They sank back in relief and Kareem hugged Tonya again, kissing her temple. They had survived a rather harrowing experience and were now safe, safe to wait on the birth of their child and look forward to becoming parents.
