JULES P.O.V
Review from 3rd Chapter; before Sam P.O.V...
*~*~*~*~
I wanted to let you know. Came a grizzly voice, we're sending your tech wizard 'Spike' a bank account number, if there isn't a million in there in 30 minutes, I heard a groan of pain from Sam in the background…and more to follow as Natalie exited the apartment. I nodded towards the lobby, she hesitated but gave in and walked, and I listened in again, to hear Sarge say calmly as ever, Sir, you don't need to do that, we'll get your money. It will take some calls though…I don't know if it's possible that we do it in-
This time, I heard Sam cry out, and it took everything in me not to say something to this man. But, I knew what I wanted to say…it wouldn't help anything.
30 minutes. The man growled then there was a resounding click as the phone was hung up.
Chapter 5 - Jules P.O.V
I walked quickly into the parking lot after intercepting Natalie in the lobby.
"Is there anywhere you can stay?" I asked gently, which was a feat in itself considering I was seething inside.
"I have money for a hotel." She replied, "I'll be fine."
I could tell by the way she spoke, and knew from previous conversations she had with Sam that she did not have money, and she wouldn't be working for a while…I could tell by a look at her face that she was emotionally drained.
I gave her a look, "Nice try." I said, "Do you have your phone?" I asked.
She nodded, seeming confused for a moment, I pulled mine out and texted her, and her phone vibrated seconds later.
"What is this?" She asked, timidly.
"My address, go there. There's a guest room to the left on the second floor, you're welcome to anything in the kitchen-"
"Jules…" She whispered, I could see she was about to argue,
"Don't argue. Trust me. Right now, I'll win." I said, looking at her. She gave me a forlorn smile, and nodded,
"Thank you." She whispered.
I nodded, and made sure she made it to her car before climbing in the SUV.
Alright Jules…Wordy and I are scoping out the building now, blue prints coming your way. Spike tapped into the CCTVs and Sam is in the backroom on white wall, Wordy, Boss, and I will be distraction in the front, and you and Spike will be repelling in the back to get to Sam.
"Copy." I said
I pulled out my GPA and studied it for a second, before turning my eyes back to the road, I was a block away now, and I moved in to the back wall quickly and met Spike.
"Let's do this." He said. I nodded, and we prepared our equipment for our climb up.
Spike, Jules, are you in position?
"Almost." I replied, "We need to remove the glass panes from the windows."
I moved to Spike's side, and he unscrewed the screws,
"Let's not drop this. That won't end well." Spike said, and I nodded,
"1-2-3." I said, and we lifted and pulled the window to the side, mine went next.
"In position." I said. "Let's get Sam back."
On my go. Ed said. Spike and I lowered ourselves over the windows.
Spike and I heard a small explosion and we tensed,
Go, go, go! Ed yelled, and Spike and I jumped inwards, the fall was quick but controlled, it was about a 3 story drop like prison cell. And, there were no windows, except for the skylights above.
I looked around the room, at each shadow and each corner.
"Clear." I said quietly, then I heard a groan a very familiar groan, I reached into my vest and pulled out a flashlight, and shined it to the corner.
It was Sam. Beaten and bloody, but he was sitting up, I walked closer to him.
"Don't walk any closer!" He rasped.
"Sam, it's us…" I said gently, "Spike and Jules?"
He seemed to smile for a moment,
"I know it's you Jules, I recognized your-" He cleared his throat and I held back a smile the best I could, I would have to ask what he was going to say later. "And, it's hard to not recognize Spike, him and all his nerdy glory."
"Careful Samtastic, I might just decide to leave you here." Sam gave a small smile, then put his hand to his side as he moved, I could see he was in pain.
"Sam…" I said.
"I'm good…guys there's a trip wire about 3 feet from where you're standing."
I could tell easily…there was something he was leaving out.
"Sam…what happens if we hit it?"
Subjects in Custody. I heard in the background, I would have sighed in relief, but the issue at hand had my body tense and ready for anything.
Sam looked at me cautiously.
"I think you guys should go." He said softly, Spike and I both caught the double edge to his voice.
"Sam, answer me. What happens if we trip the wire?" I ordered.
"I blow up and take you with me…I have 5 minutes and ticking."
