Chapter 24
BAM!
BAM! BAM!
Holstering his gun, Jack pressed the button
returning the target to the firing line. Frustration had grown with
the lack of progress since the Pavilion explosion. Reverting to his
sniper days, he had come to the shooting range in the Hoover Building
basement, hoping to relieve some of the pent up
stress.
Unfortunately, Jack had been there almost two hours, but still felt just as tense as when he had arrived. He was about ready to give up and head back to the office when his phone rang in his pocket.
"Hudson," he barked, pushing his ear protection off one ear so he could ear. Listening intently, his expression changed dramatically as the person on the other end continued to talk.
"Yes, Savannah, alert security, but don't let anyone in their rooms. Let me know what the doctors say about Special Agent Johnson," Jack instructed, running his hand worried through his dark hair. "Bobby and I will be right there. You did the right thing," he reassured her before disconnecting and dialing another number. As he waited for the call to pick up, he gathered up his things and headed for the door.
"Bobby, it's Jack," he stated finally, jamming the elevator button impatiently. "Savannah just called from the hospital. Johnson has been shot…I don't know, he's in surgery," he told his best friend when he questioned what happened. "Myles and Hannah are missing. Savannah says their rooms look like a war zone. I need you to call Carrie and get ERT over there."
Jack hit the button, looking up impatiently watching the lights as the elevator descended to the basement. As the doors slid open, he paused for a moment just outside listening to Bobby talking before continuing.
"I'm going now to pick up Sue and go by Anne's. I don't want her to find out about Myles from anyone else. I'll meet you in the hospital in about an hour," Jack added, checking his watch before snapping his phone shut and stepping into the elevator. As the doors slid shut, he gave a weary sigh, running his hand through his hair unsure of what he was going to find.
