"I know. But let's make Erick believe that you are able to steal this gun from me. Let's go now and you must grab me. Use me as your human shield. Snipers are everywhere. I will not allow them to have a clear shot on you." Elle suggested to Charles.
"Eh, are you sure about that? What if they will still shoot us? They might be desperate enough to catch me. I don't want to put your life in danger just because of me." Charles didn't agree with her suggestion.
"Besides, I thought you didn't trust cops ever since that tragedy happened to your family. Are you confident now that they will not harm you in exchange for catching me?" Charles asked her quizzically while thinking about the possible pros and cons of this scenario.
Elle shrugged her shoulders. "I'm a civilian. They have the duty to protect me at all costs. I don't fully trust them yet but I trust Erick. He will protect me." Elle said with certainty.
