"I'm finding a way into that hospital."

"You heard your boss, it's dangerous when we don't know the numbers we are dealing with."

"We're not getting anywhere plus the person in that building with the gun wants me."

"He wants me too, Jordan but we can't just barge in there." I said, sitting down next to her on the other side.

"Molly can you please just distract them for a little bit if they ask where I've gone." Jordan asked.

"Yeah sure. Good luck, girl."

Jordan was walking toward her car and grabbing a gun and some ammo when I stepped in front of her.

"I can't let you do this."

"Just trust me."

"I don't want you getting hurt."

"I'll be fine."

"Remember what Helen said. One day you protecting your sister, is going to get you killed."

"You want to come with?"

"Yes."

"Jay, you need to be a thousand percent sure because this will probably get me fired."

"My brother is in there."

"Let's go." Jordan said as she grabbed her gun.

I followed her round to the side of the building as everyone else was in the tent trying to make a plan.

"What are you doing?" I whispered to her as she grabbed her radio.

"Saying a possible goodbye."

"You're not going to die in there."

"No but Hank will kill me and you when we make it out."

"Good point."

Hank, you hear me?

Yeah. What's up Jordan?

Jay and I love you guys and we're sorry.

We heard the tent unzip followed by the sound of heavy footsteps. The unit was looking around for us as Jordan and I saluted before we ran in to the building.

"So, where are we going?" I whispered.

"Up the stairs and to the left."

We walked up the stairs and to the left where we met with an abandoned hospital wing.

"Where are we?" Asked Jordan.

"This is the old maternity ward. Some woman kidnapped a child and hid herself back here."

"I take it they found the child."

"Yeah. The child's fine."

At the end of the corridor, there was a sign for the staircase. We opened the doors and slowly stated walking up them. I checked the floors below and Jordan checked upwards.

"Clear." I said.

"Wait. Stop." Said Jordan.

She held her hand up and pointed towards a pair of feet that was on the stairs. We walked slower up the stairs and then raised our guns up towards the person.

"Hands in the air." Jordan said towards the person.

"Earl?" I said out of pure confusion.

"Thank god. I twisted my ankle after the guy pushed me down the stairs." Said Earl the security guard.

"Hey. Can you walk?" Asked Jordan.

"Yeah but I might need a hand." He said.

"So do I Earl." Laughed Jordan.

"Always with the jokes." Laughed Earl.

We helped him up the stairs with us and we dropped him off outside one of the wards so he could protect anyone inside.

"Our way in is locked."

"We are not going through the pediatrics ward. It puts them at risk." I said.

"I know. We'll go around."

"Round to where?"

"There." Jordan said as she pointed at the ER door.

We walked towards the door with our guns raised. I opened the door slowly and then I pulled Jordan into a room with me.

"Jordan, Jay?" Whispered Ethan as we turned round to look at him and April stood with a child.

We put our guns away and then moved to the side to talk to ethan.

"How did you get in here?" He asked.

"Old maternity ward." I said.

"What's going on in here?" Asked Jordan.

"Man in black suit is holding the hospital hostage."

"What?" Jordan asked.

All fo a sudden, the curtains were pulled open and we were yanked out of the room and pushed to the floor.

"Take their weapons." Said some guy with a deep gravelly voice.

He was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. He had black gloves on and was holding a black pistol and had ammo strapped to his body. He had a gold watch and some neck and arm tattoos.

"Jordan Hernandez and Jay Halstead. How lovely to finally meet you." The man said with a big grin on his face.

"Come on. You don't have to do this. Let everyone else go and just take us." I said.

The man let out a low chuckle to himself as his grip on the gun tightened. He had his arm wrapped around some young nurse and was pointing the gun towards us.

Jordan threw down a smoke grenade and ran towards her sister. I pushed everyone else into rooms and then stood next to Will, checking him for injuries. Dr Marcel joined us as he pulled the nurse off the floor and shoved her into a room.

A gun shot went off and we all dropped to the floor.

"That was a really dumb thing to do." Said the man with his arm raised to the ceiling.

"Let everyone go." Said Jordan.

Will, Crockett and I were on one side of the big desk and the girls were in the middle of it but at the front. The other guy was on the other side of the desk from us and had his gun aimed towards Zoe and Jordan.
