Chapter Four

"Okay Jacob listen to me," Emily screamed, as Jacob continuingly pointed a gun back and forth between agents.

"What in the hell can you tell me," Jacob screamed back.

"I got a hold of Matt," Emily saying the words that was sure to calm him down.

"You did, is he coming here?" Jacob asked.

"I don't know, he lost his signal," Emily said.

"You lying little bitch. You know I think your in this building, this floor. I'm gonna bet your no good partner is with you. I'm gonna find you," Jacob screamed.

Fear struck into Emily's eyes.

"Em, we have no choice," Matt said, as his cell started to vibrate.

"Duff?" Matt said into his phone.

"Yeah, I'm right outside the conference room," Duff said.

"Got the guns?" Matt asked.

"Yeah," Duff said.

"Okay," Matt said, closing his phone.

"It's time," Matt said.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Matt opened the other door for the conference room, and let Duff in.

"Okay, let's do this," Duff said, handing both of them guns.

"Matt," Emily called.

"Yeah," he said, turning toward her.

"I love you," she said, her eyes piercing into his.

"I love you too baby," he said, bringing her close to him.

His lips capturing hers, his tongue rubbing against her bottom lip. She granted him entrance to explore her mouth.

"Okay, gross lovebirds, how about we go save our friends," Duff said feeling less than uncomfortable.

Matt grabbed his gun, and put his arm on Emily's lower back as they walked out of the room.

"Okay so what's the plan?" Duff asked.

"Okay, your gonna go around that way." Matt paused as he pointed to the left. "Em's gonna go that way," Matt pointed to the right. "I'm gonna go back in and come out the door. You guys are gonna come around the sides and take out the HT's," Matt finished.

"Wow, that's actually a great plan," Duff said.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Duff and Emily took they're postions and waited for Matt's signal. Matt walked back into the conference room, and stood by the door. He sent a message to Emily and Duff from his cell. He reached for the door, and heard a gun go off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shit," Frank screamed, as blood bubbled from a small hole near his ribcage.

"Frank," Cheryl said, as she laid him backwards, and took her suit jacket off, to apply pressure to the wound.

"Jacob," Matt said, walking out from the conference room, and making eye contact with Cheryl.

"I knew you were in this place somewhere," Jacob said turning the gun on Matt.

Emily walked at a slightly faster pace than she was supposed to. She heard gunshots, and had to make sure Matt was okay. She got to the corner, well before Duff did, and pointed her gun at Jacob.

"Drop it," She yelled.

Matt shook his head, as her eyes met Frank's bloodshot eyes.

"Oh, well thanks for joining us Emily," Jacob said, as he took the butt of his gun and hit her in her upper right shoulder, knocking the gun out of her hands.

Jacob grabbed hold of Emily, and grabbed her pistol from her belt. He pointed it to her temple and made eye contact with Matt.

"Now, choose, you or your girlfriend, but one of you is going to die for what you did to my sister," Jacob said, pushing the gun farther into her head, causing a light wimper to come out of her mouth.

"Em, don't worry," Matt said, as he walked a little closer to Jacob.

"Well Flannery?" Jacob asked.

Duff peeked around the corner, and saw a terrifying scene in front of him.

"Me, take me," Matt said, grabbing Emily's hand.

"Fine," Jacob said, pointing the gun at Matt and firing.

Matt fell backwards, as Jacob threw Emily to the ground. Duff had a shot and took it, he shot Jacob, then pointed his gun in the other three's direction.

"Freeze I swear I will kill each of you," Duff said.

Emily scrambled to Matt's side, and saw blood pouring from his shoulder.

"Matt hang on," Emily said, tears streaming down her face.

"Your okay," he said, weakly, his hand caressing her cheek.

"I am," she said, as she leaned her head into his hand.

"We got to ambulences en-route," Duff said.
