But I'm sorry about jumping so many hours a head of time. It will all be explained, I promise ^^
Chapter 9.
"There he is!" Kris said as they ran through the public airport in Treviso.
"Tenere il fuoco." Romano said in his walkie-talkie. "Nobody shots anyone unless there is immediate danger. We need them alive so we can find Ms Munroe."
Kris, Kelly, Bosley and Julie spread out together with the rest of the cops. They all did their best to blend into the crowd. Suddenly, the gates opened. Everybody knew that people would come out any minute, and they also knew that since Frances Colt flow first class, he would be off the soon among the first people. Kris hoped for her life that there weren't more people than those three men they had seen on the video, but with the Red Circle you never know. They had gotten vision of one of the guys, but Kris knew that it was probably at least two more. She remembered Ober saying in Honolulu something about that if he fails, someone else succeeds. The Red Circle always wins. That's why Kris felt panic rise to the surface. They needed to find the other men before they killed Colt. But in the same time, she was terrified that they would stop the shooting, and the guys would get away. In that case, Jill was most likely dead. The other theory, that scared Kris the most, was if there were only two of them here. And if they didn't report in at a special time, the third man would kill Jill. Memories of their time in Paylon, the small town in Arizona where Kris' and Jill's Aunt Lydia and Uncle Paul lives, came back to Kris' mind as she elbowed her way through the crowded airport. She remembered being so scared when Lydia had told her that she'd killed Uncle Paul.
*"Aunt Lydia, who were those men? Who were they?" Kris asked worried as she grabbed her Aunt by her arms.
"You don't know what you've done…" Aunt Lydia cried as Kris helped her to sit down in a chair.
"Why were they shooting at us?"
"You just don't know what you've done." Lydia said, and begun to cry, in the same time as Bosley, Sabrina and Kelly came into the room.
"They're both dead." Bosley stated as he came into the room.
"Oh my God… You just… killed Uncle Paul… and… others."
Kris couldn't believe her ears. What? What? They killed two men that were shooting at them. Not Uncle Paul. What was she talking about? Kris felt her tears begun to well up as she looked at her Aunt.
"What are you saying? You're not making any sense."
"Mrs Danvers, what do you mean?" Kelly asked gently, just as confused as all the others. "Please, if we're gonna help you; you've got to trust us."
As Kelly spoke, Kris had a hard time holding back her tears. Lydia noticed the youngster welling up, and she put an arm around her shoulders.
"Alright. See, there… was a man… a prisoner... being brought here today by the forest re service people."
"Yeah, you mean George Camaris?" Sabrina asked.
"You already knew about it?"
"We heard about it on the radio." Kris answered quickly. "What about Camaris?"
"Well, those two men out there and three others kidnapped your Uncle Paul. It was this morning, it must have been right after you telephoned. And then they killed deputy Fellows."
"That wasn't Fellows?" Kris asked surprised.
"Listen. They killed deputy Fellows and they took his uniform and they took over his office and those two men stayed in the office. And the other three took your Uncle Paul on a bus, and most of the women in the village."
"Why?" Kelly asked, still very confused. "What do they want?"
"They wanted the prisoner that the forest people would bring here today."
"Camaris?" Bosley spoke.
"Yes, they wanted to get him out of the country before the FBI people came here and picked him up."
"You mean if they deliver Camaris, they'll return the hostages?" Kelly asked.
"Yes." Lydia nodded, brushing away some tears.
There was a brief moment of understanding before Bosley spoke.
"Well it seems like we've stumbled into a very high level operation."
"It also seems like we've rather messed things up." Kelly added.
"Well you… it wasn't your fault." Lydia said, stroking Kris' hand. "You couldn't have known."
"Yes it was our fault." Sabrina said, feeling a bit embarrassed, especially since this was Kris' family. "But we can fix it. I know we can fix it."
"No." Lydia said firmly. "You couldn't, it's not possible."
"Why?" Kris said, tears still running down her face. "Why isn't it possible?"
"Because… when the three men took your Uncle Paul, they took one of his portable radio units. And unless that man out there calls them by four o'clock, they had instructions to destroy the bus and everyone on it." Lydia explained, crying out in tears again.
"No wonder this whole town is so terrified." Kelly sighed.
Kris and Lydia gave each other a worried look, before they hugged again.
"Mrs Danvers, where have they taken the bus?" Kelly asked.
"We don't know. We know nothing about it, that's why we've done exactly as they told us to do."
"But four o'clock, that's less than two hours away." Bosley said worried, taking a look at his watch.
"And how many square miles of wilderness area to cover?" Kelly sighed.
"Too many of it." Was Sabrina's answer.
"Unless." Kris said, a light bulb being lit above her head.
"Unless what?" Bosley asked, all of them staring at Kris.
"You said they had one of Uncle Paul's portable radio units. Right?"
Lydia just nodded in response.
"… And you have one of Uncle Paul's other radio units here?"
"Yes, we always keep one for emergencies."
"Okay Aunt Lydia." Kris said, getting some hope up. "Do you have some old clothes?"
"Old clothes? Yes. Why?"
"Go get them." *
That plan had worked out fine. They had managed to get everybody back alive and safe, and they joy and happiness that had spread through the town when they came back was something Kris could live on for the rest of her life. Now Kris snapped back into reality, knowing she needed to find her sister. They had been reading computer readouts the entire day, but they hadn't gotten anything from them. They were searching the databases for addresses of the three men that they had found identities on, looking for buildings they owned or anything like that. So far they hadn't found anything, and now they had to go down to the airport and still not knowing where Jill was hurt in Kris' heart.
Suddenly Bosley's movement caught her attention, and she realized one of the men they were looking for was just a few feet away from her. She wanted to jump on him, slam his head to the floor and scream at him, asking where the hell her sister was. But she also knew that if she attacked one of them, the others would know they would get attacked to. They had to catch them all at once.
Julie suddenly signaled that she had found the last guy. Lieutenant Rossi told everyone to hold their fire and wait for his commando. They needed to be sure that these were the right men, and that there only were three of them.
People began walking out from the gate, and the angels and officers saw Colt as he walked through the doors. He was distinctive with his long beard and dark clothes, and they all had seen pictures of him.
"Go!" Rossi said in the walkie-talkie in both English and Italian as he noticed how one of them grabbed for their gun. Kelly tackled him down, trying to be quiet so the others wouldn't notice. Kelly was wrestling him for a while, and during the struggle the other two noticed what was going on. The man in front of Kris grabbed his gun, and Kris tackled him from behind. They begun struggling too, in the same time as Julie tackled down the last guy. They all froze by the sound of a gunshot, but didn't have time to react. There was another gunshot being fired, but Kris was busy with her wrestling match with Toulouse. He managed to flip her onto her back and run, Kris got to her feet and run after him. She raced after him out into the street outside Treviso Airport. He had been able to make a bigger distance between of them since he was a lot taller than Kris. Now he made a stop at the street, and in the same time as Kris came out through the doors together with Rossi and Bosley, Toulouse pulled up his gun and put it in his mouth.
"NO!" Kris screamed, wanting him alive.
But it was too late. He had already pulled the trigger. Kris turned with her eyes wide towards Bosley and Rossi. She hardly noticed the other people on the streets screaming, crying and running away from them. Neither did she notice the rain pouring down outside. She just stood there, staring at the two men.
"The other two shots?"
"Romano took out one of them when he put a gun towards Kelly's side without her noticing it, and another cop shot the other one when he almost shot Julie in her head."
"But we needed them ALIVE!" Kris screamed, the pouring rain drowning her words. "We needed them to tell us where the hell Jill is being held! Now we'll never find Jill!"
