* The flow of information which had just flooded the networks was only increasing. But that was no longer their concern. Flynn and Garza returned to the HQ and found the other two arguing. They also interrupted them sharply.
-What else do you want? * Said the sergeant *.
-That I know the army is there to defend us from external threat. You do not have the right to deploy in cities.
* Reuss and Garza listened to them put their hands in their pockets as if they were not interested in whatever they said *.
-But Captain Reuss, we know why you are so keen to intervene. * Mount Sergeant *. I looked at the hostage list. Kate Farman marries Reuss. Your wife is inside.
* A vein appeared on the captain's temple. He did his utmost not to burst her head *.
-Your job is to kill gigantic Krawls. But dealing with a hostage is another story. Don't let your feelings interfere.
* While they were discussing a swat vehicle arrived near the aunt. Garza pointed at him as he looked at the officers *.
-It's not the number of ruffians you are going to bring back that will change anything.
* They go down and get into position around the building. One of them walked over to the command aunt and took off his helmet. He was a blond man with a fairly young face, measuring 1m75. Seeing him Reuss dropped his cigarette and he too widened his eyes. They suddenly frowned and began to stare at each other *.
- Sergeant Rickert on the report. * He said *. Ready to intervene my commander.
-Tch. * Reuss said, looking away *.
-You know each other? * Asked the negotiator *.
-A little that we know each other. * Said Garza *. He was a sergeant and squad leader among the Undead.
-And he walked out when we needed him most. * Reuss said with a hint of anger in his voice *.
- I was tired of fighting nonstop. * He said calmly *.
-So you join the special police forces to arrest people with bad terrorists that's it. * Resumed Reuss *.
-You don't have to lecture me. You know what everyone thinks of you .... The executioner.
* Reuss remained impassive face to this provocation *.
- I see that you are promoted captain. How many good guys like you are sacrificing this time.
* Reuss made to turn around then came back with a punch in the face of Rickert. The latter fell sharply to the ground but got up quickly. But just before he could reply the commander stopped him *.
-I'm not going to reply. Because I am better than you.
-You know it was hell over there. Both the weak and the strong clamor. Only the lucky ones survive.
-Yuveri wouldn't have wanted that for the battalion. * Said Rick *.
-Unless Yuveri is no longer there and I'm the boss, you get it. * He replied dryly *.
-And that's a hostage taken. * He said pointing in front of him *. And I will save everyone. Without losing a single man under my command.
* After this statement he entered the command aunt allowing Reuss alone outside *.
* While outside the officers were fighting to know what to do more and more people gathered around the place of the hostage taking. But not only. Not far from the base also many civilians had gathered to observe. Inside the building where the hostage prize took place, it was another world. The hostages had been gathered in the hall and each of them had a Lunch box for dinner. Kate was eating quietly when one of the hostages accosted her *.
-You are crazy. * She says *.
-Did we knows each other?
-No, but you're crazy. These people .... They have guns. * Said she scared *. Assault rifles. Look at them on looks like ....
- Eat girl. * Did she cut it off *. You will need it.
-Go meal time is over. * Announced the guard *. If you have any left, just close the box. Go on hurry.
* While she was tidied up Olga approached Katy *.
-So? *Asked Kate*.
-I felt a vibration. A sort of short sound wave.
-Translation please I wouldn't take such a long study.
-They used a subsonic bomb. A silent bomb.
- So that no one outside realizes. These guys are up to something.
* Indeed at the back of the hotel a hole has just been made through the wall. A group of armed men also entered. The leader of the hostage hugged the leader of the other group. A girl wearing full gear with assault Rifle*.
-You took a long time. * He said *.
-Oh shut up. It took a lot of time and effort to make this hole.
-You are the best I have nothing to complain about. I knew you would succeed.
-Well then. Either way. * She said when she retired her helmet *. Nice to work with you Dave.
-Pleasure sharing. Paimon.
* Outside everyone was still wondering what could happen. Reuss walked into the room and saw Rick in front of the video recording screens. He was only wearing his police T-shirt. Reuss walked over and watched the tapes too *.
-It's Katy, eh. * Said Rick *.
-Yeah.
-I am sorry.
-I'm going to get her out of there that's all that matters to me.
-Keep your cool.
* Flynn watched the video intently then tilted *.
-Chuck put the video back from the beginning.
-What would we do? * Asked the police commander *
-Do it Chuck. *Ordered Ricker*
* So they brought the video back to Zero *.
-Zoom on Katy's eyes finally my wife.
* He did as he was told *.
-I knew it. * Said Reuss *. You see in Kate's eyes ... It's electronic lenses. This stuff stores up to 72 hours of visual memory.
-If it's true.... * Rick wondered *.
- Please have her lit them.
* Chuck then began the hacking sequence and quickly got hold of Kate's vision. All he had to do was enter the password *.
-The password.
-It's .... No let me in.
* Reuss did as quickly as possible but when the vision was operational it was a complete fog *.
- Shit they have jammers. * Said Chuck *.
- At least we will have cease our chance. * Said Rick *.
-Holy shit. * Said Reuss annoyed who ran his hand through his hair *.
-In any case, your wife has pretty beautiful eyes, it's a shame that she keeps blinking her eyes all the time.
- Blinking ? *Asking Reuss *.
* He took off his jacket and sat down with a notebook in his hand, resuming the video from the beginning *.
-Katy I love you. * He said before making to note *.
-Wait * said Ricker surprised *. Your wife has VMD (visual memory device), she sends you messages in Morse code and everything.
-Yeah. What do you do during your dates?
-No matter. * He said sarcastically *.
* As he left the HQ tent he saw an officer seated on the Humvee of Reuss. Garza yelled at him to come down *.
-what the hell going on * sighed.
- Get off my car little asshole. * Said Garza still so calm *.
-A Humvee. I've never seen one so real. And this emblem of the glass crane. * He said enthusiastically *.
* The officer then removed his helmet and we could see an unusual androgynous face with gray hair. The officer had barrettes in his hair *.
-A kid ? Come down from ...
* As he approached his hand to bring it down she jumped on him and took him by the arm. In a flash she slammed Garza to the ground with an arm lock *.
-Be careful Lieutenant you are going to hurt yourself.
-Tch. Rickert who is it?
* She let go of Garza and got up in you to put very quickly to attention to *.
-Officer Shalon Ricker going to report Sgt.
* Immediately Garza did a mow her down and swept her, making her fall and grabbed her in turn but put his gun next to her face. His gaze was dark filled with murderous intentions *.
-If you ever do it again, I'll put a bullet in your head.
* He then let go and put his gun away. Shalon straightened up and stuck her tongue out at him but he royally ignored her. At this point they saw a group of special forces storming *.
-Who gave them the order to move these idiots? *Asked Garza*
* Tired of waiting for the commander of the intervention forces to order the assault *.
-What the hell are you giving the order to attack? * Ricker yelled *.
- Check it out with the commander.
-The ...
* As the group approached the front door shield forward, Flyn had just read his wif message *.
-What does that say?
-Jammer, hacked camera, 54 hostages, 12 guards 6 hands-free, heavy weapons and .....
-And ...
-Oh damn ....
- FALL BACK * Rick yelled *.
* End of chapter *.
