Grief
Chapter 2
By: Kary G.
A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews. IF there's anything you want me to add, change or something else, please let me know. It'll take a few more days to upload the third chapter if not a week. Usually the way I work is.. I finish the story first, and then I post the chapters each week, but this time. I'm not prepared with the whole story, but I do have a part of chapter 3. Once again… THANK YOU!
Alexander walked a few seconds, and stopped dead in his tracks pointing his gun to a little girl that was scared, and crying on the floor, her mother tried desperately to hush her. "I wanna play with your daughter," he said coldly to the scared mother who couldn't do anything, but instead let her daughter go. "Don't cry sweetie. We'll have a good time together. Uncle Alexander will show you how to shoot a gun,"
The little girl was shaking so hard. Her sobs could be heard, the restaurant. "Robert! I know you're here! You better let me know where you are or she'll die!" Alexander announce to his hostages. He knew he was there, tracking his footsteps thanks to a chip sort of like a GPS he applied to his truck. He had the phone's number, knew he had three brothers, and a sister who worked with the SRU. He knew his sister will be here saving him, but somehow a picture of Robert wasn't available.

"Jules? What did your brother do?" Sam asked Jules who was still in shock. She wished his brother wasn't inside that place.
"My brother Robert is a retired cop. He returned to Canada from the U.S. the reason he retired was because of what he thought he did wrong. My brother was undercover a few years ago in California trying to bust some drug dealers, and Alexander's girlfriend was one of the drug dealers. Somehow my brother's cover was blown by another person, and she cornered him, and threatened to kill him. My brother reacted quickly, and the gun was fired accidentally thanks to all the struggling, and fighting… Alexander's girlfriend was killed. Robert then heard that she was pregnant, and that was shocking to him to the point where he called Alexander and let him know he was sorry…Alexander at the end threatened my brother, but we never thought it was going to be this real. I mean as a member of the police you get these threats all the time and 99% are not true." Jules finished her story.
"Jules, where are your brothers right now?" Greg had to ask. He hated this bad feeling on his stomach, but he had to make sure Jules brother was safe.
"They're at home. We were all supposed to go out tonight for dinner. They're supposed to be there…" she said pulling out her cell phone from her pocket making the call to her father's home.

"Hello," A man in his mid 50's answered the phone waiting for a response.
"Hello Dad. It's me Jules…I was just wondering how were the guys doing. They said something about taking me to dinner tonight…Do you know if Robert is there with you?" Jules question her dad trying to hide her nervousness.
"Hey Jules. They're not here right now. They went to a restaurant downtown to buy some food.. You know how your brothers are about food; they couldn't wait for you tonight. Is something wrong?"
Jules bit her bottom lip harder so she wouldn't start breaking down in front of her team, and also her father who waited for her reply on the phone. "No, nothing's wrong. I was just going to talk to them to let them know that I will be late. I have a lot of things to do here at Headquarters. Dad, I have to go. I'll call later, ok. I love you, bye." She hung up, and turned to her boss taking a long, deep breath.
"They are inside the restaurant. My brothers are inside," she covered her mouth with her hand, and quickly tight her hold on the large gun she had on her hands.

Robert looked at his three brothers. His eyes said it all. He was willing to risk his life for that little girl. Somehow that little girl reminded him of his sister Jules, when she was five. He was the overprotective brother. He saw a mini-Jules in Alexander's arms. He couldn't act anymore he had to save her, and all those people that were with him, including his brothers.
"Alexander! I'm here!" Robert yelled at the top of his lungs, standing up slowly from the floor, wit his hands up in the air.
"Well, hello there. Finally… after all, we met. I think you and I have some unfinished business, now don't we," He pushed the little girl to the floor so hard, that the poor girl cried out in pain.
Robert fist tighten even more, and his knuckles turned white. He was pissed, that little girl didn't deserve to be treated like that. Alexander's gun was pointed straight to Robert's face.
"What do you want to do?" Robert questioned Alexander. "Do you want to shoot me? Don't waste more of your time, and do it, so all these people can go home safe,"
"No… I mean I want to kill you, but that's too easy. I want to see your sister suffer," an evil grin spreading from ear to ear. "I supposed that's your sister, the small chick with the cap," he pointed out seeing Jules last name 'Callaghan' on the left hand side of her uniform.
"How did you--?"
"How did I know? Thank god internet exists. Isn't that great? I have you here in this restaurant ready to kill you, and your brothers, and yet your sister is outside trying to find a damn way to save you,"
