The cops scramble to find out what's going on.
"Who made the call?" Trevor talked into the CB radio
"The phone is registered under, 'Jacob Sinn' at 112 Parlridge road" the radio answered back.
"Do you think he's inside?" The rookie asked
"I believe so he's probably among the hostages" Trevor added.

J'coby's mother paced the floor trying to call her son. With each no answer she grew more worried. She turned on the T.v. to see the church her son had been at on the news. With the caption "Church Under Siege" under it. Her phone dropped as she ran to her vehicle driving out to the church. She arrived at the church to see a news helicopter flying above it spot lights everywhere. Neighboring houses had people standing outside watching everything.

The news van pulls up. Reporters jump out trying to be the first with the story.

The police do everything to round them up and keep them contained. The rookie goes to throw something in the dumpster when he smells gas and he sees the burnt hole in the side of the church.
"Holy hell" he said running back to the squadron.

J'coby's mother pulls up trying to find out what's going on. The cops grab her pulling her back.
"Ma'm I'm afraid you can't get any closer"
"My son is in there!"
"So is everyone else's, will you please step back.

Bethany and her friends were huddled up together keeping each other in a warm embrace. Bethany was scared everyone was, but she knew J'coby was out there and aware of his father's military background. Bethany didn't have it easy growing up either. Her parents poor, they lived pay check to paycheck. But she made the best of her situation using school to escape the hell she had grown up in. She was an honor student, never had a C in her life. She was book smart street smart and smart all around. Eric sat looking at the doors
"What are you thinking about Eric?"
"I may be able to make a run for it out those doors!" Eric replied.
"Don't be stupid Eric, that's a good way to get yourself killed" Bethany replied.
"Well we have to try something your 'boyfriend' is obviously just hiding somewhere he's not doing anything" Eric added.
The Bethany started to think, where is J'coby, is he dead they heard gunshot earlier, And then explosion. Then One had walked in.
"Eight!" He yelled "get ready for another broadcast! They have not given me Daniel Harper yet"

Eight did aa he's told, he was a little man always good with computers. He didn't necessarily care about this racial thing he could honestly care less. One had promised him money, in return he would handle communication and broadcasts. And that he did well. Eight was never into violence mainly would look away when One committed his violent acts.

One looks around the hostages
"Which one of you do I want to kill now? Choices, choices" he grabs a random hostage she begins crying.
"Shut the fuck up!" One yelled in her face!
He dragged her in front of a camera putting a gun to her head
"One more added to your body count!" One said as he pulled the trigger.
"Give me Daniel Harper or everyone here is going to die!"
