Chapter 18 - A Saviour At The Last Moment

 Miss Jane knew it was risky for her daughter to walk alone at such a moment, what if other men were around the building, what if she couldn't make it out, Miss Jane could only wonder what would become of her daughter as she left the place, the last words and only words of Miss jane to her daughter were " go get help". Rachael succeeded in getting out of sight but was too small to figure out her way out of the building. Moments later the lights were turned back on and Andrew and his team of Assasins arranged the people together, some men were asked to go look around the building if there were any police on site, Miss Jane feared for her daughter but she told herself her daughter must have gone far before they get to her if probably she believed that her daughter must have gotten outside of the building and if so help was coming. But everything was just an assumption by Miss Jane, her daughter was just a floor down and little Rachael was struggling to find an exit, the two men who were sent to check if the coast was clear were just a step down from the floor where Rachael stood looking confused. Rachael heard the noise of the men coming from the stairs, these time she became more confused and terrified, so she decided to return to her mother and just like that she fell into the hands of Andrew's men once again, but luckily for her the FMF men were already in the building, they saw the forceful attempt the men use in carrying little Rachael back up so they asked the men to surrender, the one with the little girl surrender and drop his weapon almost immediately as he heard the voice but the other tried to run and he was shot. Rachael was rescued from the building and the bad guy was taken into custody. By the time the people struggling outside the building saw this rescue attempt, they stayed calm seeing the fact that some work was already getting done. 

 Rachael was taken care of and she was asked some questions to know what was going on in the building, " hey, can we ask you a few questions" Rachael nodded in agreement "You said your mom was in there and I am sure you want her to be rescued, am I right?" she nodded in agreement again, " so can you describe what's going on inside for us" asked the investigating chief

 "some men with guns and machetes are holding people inside hostage, and they are forcing a man and a woman to play a game" Rachael explained, 

 "What type of game are they playing, and has anyone been shot inside"

 " Truth or Dead"

The investigating chief was surprised, " shouldn't that be Truth or Dare", Rachael looked at the chief with a worrisome face and he detected the expression on Rachael's face " what's wrong, did I say something wrong"

 " This is the part where someone died, he corrected the sentence and he was shoot, the game is called Truth or Dead, you lie someone dies" Rachael expatriate. Looking at the situation, Rachael saved everyone held hostage in the building, the initial plan of the FMF was to go in and execute everyone regardless, but the new intel they had which was Rachael and the men caught made the FMF stand down so they can re-strategise. Since the culprits weren't planning on hurting the hostage then they shouldn't too, all they needed was a plan to rescue the civilians held hostage. Although Rachael was able to give the correct record of the hostages and the culprit the little she was able to disclose would be useful as they proceeded, now they knew about the hostages that were held at the second to the upper floor and they were armed men inside the building using the hostages as bets to play their ridiculous game. By the time the FMF got to second to the upper floor, they noticed how heavily guarded and how heavily armed the men were, so if they wanted to keep the hostage safe they had to take the armed men at the door silently, so they waited under the stairs while they waited for the man who knows how to use snippers well, after few minutes of setting everything up they were ready to take action two men with go tactics on how to use the snippers were ready to take out the guards at the doorway and positioned themselves under the stairs and after a countdown of three they both took the shot and the men were down, so the FMF men rushed into the room, at first the Andrew men opened fire but when they saw the situation was getting out of hand they cease fire seeing that Patrick was shot in the belly. Andrew and others were apprehended and just two of the hostages lost their lives due to the open fire, Samuel and Stella immediately exited the place and went outside, Andrew was kept in a special van and his identity wasn't disclosed to the public in which Samuel wasn't aware of this occurrence, only the men that were with Andrew were brought in to live broadcast. 

 After few weeks after the incident Andrew's father came to the police headquarters to negotiate about his son's case so it doesn't get out to the public, and it doesn't spoil his family name, his basketball career and most importantly his son's career, " I'm sorry they're nothing I can do, you son held civilians hostage and used them as bets, we lost three lives just within the events of things" said the HPD, Head of Police Department. " can you just sentence my son just to few months of jail and I'll pay you a very huge sum of money, call your price, whatever it would take, just please don't let my son spend the rest of his life in jail and I observe the media hasn't heard of it so please let keep it that way" pleaded Andrew father. It took several attempts to make the HPD compile with Andrew's father who already has the plan to make out with his son out of Benicia, Stella observed that Andrew hadn't been brought to book only Patrick and others had been brought to book so she made Samuel to be aware of her observation. " Why hasn't Andrew been brought to book" Samuel questioned the HPD, Mr Macron. just as Samuel and Mr Macron were arguing about the issues Andrew's Father came in, it was a big shock for both Samuel and Andrew's Father, what was Samuel doing there, and what was Andrew's Father doing in Benicia. " what is going on here, what business does this man has here" he faces Andrew Father, "does these place look like an NBA to you", Samuel stood up from his chair and observe how the two men were looking at each other like culprits that have been caught, " or is this what am thinking, I asked earlier why hasn't Andrew been put to book?, is this monster here to free his son?, am asking questions here" Samuel shouted regardless of the fact he was in the office of the Head of all Police in Benicia. Mr Macron told Samuel to calm down and that he could explain everything but at the point of getting closer to Samuel Andrew's Father grabbed a hard object and hit it on Samuel's head, and Samuel passed out.
