I did that because I was going. There will be another plot twist in this chapter. I hope you guys like this chapter and don't forget to review if possible.
Chapter 7: Someone Important
After just hacking the phone, Gabriel listened in on the call between James and an unidentified male. Gabriel was pacing back and forth when Riley came back from going to the store. Riley knew in an instance that Gabriel was upset.
"Gabriel, what's wrong?" Riley asked.
"I...Jessie..." Gabriel stuttered.
Walking over to Gabriel, Riley slid her arms around Gabriel's waist and set her forehead on his. Gabriel slid his arms around Riley and said, "I don't know how I'm going to save Jessie in time."
"You don't have to do it alone, Gabriel. I'm here for you," Riley replied. "Just let me know if there's anything you need."
"I need to find Jessie, but I can't do it alone, Riley," Gabriel said.
"I'm right here," Riley got in before they kissed.
Gabriel was the first to pull away from the intense kiss. Putting his head on Riley's shoulder, Gabriel sighed. Riley moved her arms so that one was resting on Gabriel's head and the other around his shoulder.
"Where do you want to start, Gabriel?" Riley asked quietly.
"With that phone call I over heard," Gabriel's shaky voice said.
"You listened in on the phone call?"
"Yes," Gabriel said as he removed his head from were he placed it. "Someone is going to kill Jessie and I don't know how to stop it."
"We will figure it out, Gabriel. We always do."
Looking at Gabriel, Riley saw his expression change. Not sure what to do Riley kept herself positioned in her spot.
"What is it, Gabriel?"
"Someone is inside the chip. I can't figure it out," Gabriel said. "I'm rendering."
With that, Riley let go of Gabriel and watched him. Gabriel found that the render was of a hotel room once the render was complete. Looking around, Gabriel noticed a familiar figure. But instead of being frozen in time, Gabriel saw Jessie moving towards him. There was a look of surprise on her face as she stopped right in front of Gabriel.
"Gab, is that really you?" Jessie asked. Gabriel just nodded. "I cannot believe this worked." Jessie threw her arms around Gabriel as tears streamed down her face.
"How are you doing this, Jessie?" Gabriel asked, completely stunned.
"It's the hard drive they implanted in me," Jessie said.
"What hard drive? And who put it in you?"
"Its like the chip in you but I'm only connected to anything when your close," Jessie replied as she tour herself from Gabriel. "As for who put it in: ask Cassidy. He can explain. Right now you need to listen to me. He's holding me in room 214 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel. You have to get here soon. And please, get here quickly."
"I'm coming. You just hang in there, ok," Gabriel commented.
"I will," Jessie said with fresh tears in her eyes.
When the render faded completely, Gabriel found himself on the floor with Riley's arms around him. Hearing the soft 'shh' from Riley, Gabriel couldn't help himself from bursting out into tears. After 10 minutes, Gabriel told Riley what Jessie had told him. With that, Riley helped Gabriel up and they headed to the hotel.
Heading over to the front desk at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, Gabriel and Riley asked the receptionist for the key to 214. After a little persuading, the receptionist willingly handed over the key card. Finding the elevators, Gabriel and Riley waited until the elevator stopped on the second floor. Stepping off, Gabriel quickly found room 214. Gesturing towards the room, Riley inserted the key and opened the door. Both agents drew their guns out and entered the room. Walking slowly, the agents found James holding Jessie with his gun pointed at her head.
"I guess you found me out," James said. "And that was only to easy."
"What the hall, James. Why would you do this?" Gabriel spat at the man.
"Because I needed the money without being found out by the Feds," James replied coolly.
"So you kidnapped two agents, shot one, and demanded a ransom demand just for that? You make me sick," Gabriel said. "I could shot you right here and now if I wanted to."
"But you won't. I know because you wouldn't risk the death of Jessie here," James shot at Gabriel.
"Unless you have a gun to your head," Riley said, standing behind James. "Looks like you aren't very observant, are you?"
"Oh, I noticed. Still, if you shot me, I will kill her."
"Yeah, well, I'm not going to kill you," Riley complied.
As James turned around slightly to face Riley, James didn't see the butt of Gabriel's gun struck James in the back of the head, rendering him unconscious. James body crumpled to the floor and Jessie was released from James' grasp. Jessie stumbled over to Gabriel and threw her arms around his neck. Gabriel wrapped his free arm around Jessie's waist while holstering his gun.
"You all right?" Gabriel asked.
"Yeah," Jessie replied as she pulled back from the embrace. "Whose your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend," Gabriel said, his cheeks turned the color of a light pink.
"I'm just messing with you, Gab," Jessie said.
Back at CybComm, both Jessie and Gabriel were getting checked for computer virus's. Jessie was playing with the metal prosthetic arm she wore. Gabriel was watching and they were laughing. Riley smiled as she waited for Olive. Olive emerged from Lillian's office and the agents entered the room in which Gabriel and Jessie were in. With the check up done, the four agents left to go home and all of them very happy to be reunited with each other.
