Chapter 3
A/N: I'm sorry I took so long to update. I had to throw this crazy idea in there…. you'll see it at the end. I know it sounds crazy but let's pretend that there's a modified more modern weapon or device.. You'll see what I mean when you get to the end. Enjoy!

Outside the restaurant, Jules couldn't help but prepare her sniper. If Alexander or any of his friends did something to her brother Robert, she was going to beat the crap out of their brains with a quick and clean shot.
"What do you want to do, boss?" Sam spoke looking at Jules reaction when Alexander pointed the gun to her brother.
"Let's negotiate, and see if we can make Alexander to back off," Greg took the phone and dialed the restaurant.
***
The phone rang, startling the people who were lying on the floor. Blake hurried to pick it up knowing that Alexander was not going to do it since he was busy with Robert.
"What do you want?" Blake snapped.
"We just want to make sure everybody is ok. Work with me, I guarantee you…if you let these people go you won't have any charges, and will be released, as well as Marcus,"
Blake thought about it for a minute. "No, I don't think so," he hung up the phone, and looked at Alexander.
Shaking his head from one side to another. "Stupid police," Alexander laughed hearing Blake's' comment.
"Why don't you let all these people go? The only person you have the problem is with me," Robert suggested.
"Like I said…I want to get even. I'll kill you, so that your sister feels the meaning of true pain. You shouldn't have wasted your time making that phone call, just to tell me you were sorry. You don't even know what 'sorry' means," Alexander told Robert as he pulled out a package.
"Marcus come here." Alexander made it an order. "Now Robert, turn around… don't do anything stupid or my friend here will shoot you in a second," Robert didn't have a choice, and turned around fearing the worst.

"We got to go in there, and save them!" Jules was desperate at this point. She wanted to save her brothers. She stood there helpless as Alexander told something to Robert, and in response he turned around.
"We'll get them out of there, Jules. Hang in there sweetie," Greg told to the scared female whose hands were holding tighter her sniper each second.
'Sweetie' that same word was heard all the time thanks to her father. Greg left his police attitude for a minute and comfort Jules with his words. Jules nodded, and took a deep breath. She had to think straight, especially in this situation where she had 4 brothers inside the store.
***
Robert stood still. His eyes shut, he could feel something glued to his skin, sweat beads began dancing in his forehead revealing his nervousness running through his body. Alexander took Robert's arm, and led him outside the store. Marcus behind his boss pointing the gun at Robert's head.
All the officers outside prepare for the worst. "Jules Callaghan!" Alexander yelled at the female SRU. "How does it feel to know that your brother is going to die?" Jules couldn't speak. "Answer the damn question Ms. Callaghan," He spoke once more.
"…and how do you feel knowing that you have a sniper a few feet away from you ready to blow the brains out of your head?"
"I love that attitude. Mean, defiant, fierce," Alexander looked Jules all the way down to her toes. "I think I'm starting to love your sister, Robert." An evil grin appeared on his lips. From the moment Alexander exit the store Sam was next to Jules. He wasn't happy to hear what Alexander had to say of his Jules.
"Let him go, Alexander." Jules spoke with a firm, and cold voice. Her sniper pointing straight at Alexander.
"No, I will not let him go. I can't…don't you see," he told her pointing to a package that was glued to her brother's stomach. Everybody froze… it was…. It was a bomb.
"We'll make this more interesting," he moved his hand, and Marcus ran inside for a backpack, and came back. "Let's play a game…. My friend Marcus will put some fake tile floor, and is up to your brother to get to you to the safe side. I just hope he doesn't end just like your friend Lewis,"
"What are you talking about?!" Jules asked.
"This tile floors have inside a modern and modified landmine, I think you all know how that works. Robert start walking, and if you don't do it then I'll shoot you,"
"Landmine…oh god. Not again,"Jules thought.
