This Is All My Fault

09: Finding A Way Out

Tom and Y/n walked out of the library together. The house is very deserted. So quiet. Scary quiet. Tom walks in front of y/n with a gun in his hands. Y/n follows him. Together they walk along the walls of the building. Nobody said anything. They walked like this until they came to a staircase. Tom looked all around to make sure nothing could happen. As soon as he comes to a corner, he looks as fast as possible, with his pistol in his hands, to be able to jump into action. 3 minutes later and they haven't met anyone yet. Y/n follows Tom to a living room. It has a kitchen, TV, sofa, chairs and things like that.

"Close the door." whispers Tom. Very carefully y/n grabs the lever and pulls it towards her. She closes the door very softly without making a sound. While y/n did that Tom looked for any sign of life. He soon noticed that they were alone and safe for now.

Tom hurried to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

"Catch." Tom said as he threw the bottle at y/n. Y/n caught it and drank it right away.

"How could you read my mind." she said with a grin. She took another sip. Tom took one too and drank it.

"I have a feeling." He said with a smirk.

Somewhere outside the White House, they are busy dealing with the situation. Lisa, sits at the table with several secret services agents. But someone said, "miss, you might want to see this." He turned on the news on the big screen.

"We have received video footage, the first video footage, of the White House from an anonymous source. We are now seeing if we can show it." said the news reporter. Everyone waits in suspense. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw it. Lisa told Tom right away.

"Holland, you might want to turn on a TV!"

"What is it." he said as he walked to the TV. Y/n followed him. Tom turned on the TV and was shocked right away. Y/n hand moved to her mouth.

"I'm so sorry." Said Lisa.

JJ was on display. Tied to a chair. Someone behind him. A drop of blood ran down his forehead. He has watery eyes. His head was slightly forward as if he didn't have the strength to hold himself up. His head moved toward the camera.

"Don't do what he says." said JJ. Immediately afterwards he got a slap in the face from the man who was behind him. Y/n was startled and Tom looked at her. He stood next to her and ran his hand over her back.

A tear left JJ's eyes, just like y/n's. Then that man started talking. "Hi, I'm Dylan Nassar. Look at him. He's alive. And he will be, under a few conditions. Do not enter the White House with your troops. No air raid. No hacking. Or he will be dead the second after. Understood?"

More tears left y/n eyes. Seeing her brother treated like that. She is very concerned. She is very afraid that she can no longer see her brother alive.

"Y/n" her heartbeat beats faster by hearing that. If your out there in the White House, and I know you are, come and visit your little brother. Oh and bring the code, you know what it's for. Only the president's family knows it. JJ won't give it to us, the president won't give it to us, but you will. One hour! Not a second more!" he said.

"Y/n don't listen to them!" JJ said. "be safe please!-"he got caught off by another punch in his face.

"Turn it off!" Dylan said and the screen went black.
A silence arrived and all Tom and y/n could do is look at the black screen. After a few seconds it was changed to the news reporter who started talking right away. Tom grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. Y/n shed another tear. What she just saw was the worst thing she's ever seen. What is she gonna do?
