CHAPTER 50

"Laura, this is very dangerous, what are we going to do now? And how the hell did he spot our camera" Elena asked almost panicking when she remembered Sarah's prophecy.

"I don't know Elena. It's just like Alex said. He came fully prepared. Remember what we did to him at the mall? Once bitten twice shy. Now I know the meaning of that" Laura said as Elena was lost in thought.

"Someone would get hurt, but who?" She muttered to herself.

"Everyone stay calm, remain in your position. You might be walking into danger. I'm trying to see I can figure something out" Laura said trying her best with the systems.

Bonnie was still busy with the security guards as she peered round the environment, seeing how busy the people were.

"We need to get everyone out of the building, he might kill someone else before he gets to Logan" Laura ordered.

"How are we gonna get them out? We don't know--" Peter tried to say as he got interrupted.

"Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it" Elena said.

"Bonnie, can you help us out with a distraction?" Laura asked her as she breathed down and stared at the security men who were now monitoring her.

"Arrrgh.. it is always Bonnie" she groaned to herself.

"I'll try" she said lackadaisical.

She stood up and glanced round the lobby as she stretched.

She walked to the security men monitoring her as she frowned at them.

"What is it Little Miss?" One of them asked her as she fell to the ground and started screaming.

"What's the matter?" They asked as she continued, her voice was so loud that the people there had to cover their ears.

"They heard gunshots from the alarm room as they left Bonnie screaming and ran towards there to check it out.

On their way, they saw lots of security men dead on the floor with a hole in their forehead.

"I'm hearing gunshots, hope everyone is ok?" Elena asked.

"I'm good" Alex said.

"Me too" Peter said.

"And Bonnie?" Laura asked.

"I'm okay" she said.

"Guys!" Laura said.

"What is it?" Alex asked still on his position.

"He had disabled all our cameras! None is functioning" Laura said feeling useless.

"What are we gonna do now?!" Peter asked.

"I said it, this is bad. We are on a suicide mission!" Alex panicked.

"Will you just shut up and let me think!" Laura screamed out of frustration.

"Elena, where's your position?" she asked panicking.

"I'm still close to the rest room" she said.

"Ok, listen, you have to be very careful because right now I'm blind. I can't see what's happening in there. I want you to find the fire alarm and sound it. I want those people to leave there as soon as possible" Laura stated.

"Ok, I'll try" Elena said.

"Do you know the location?" She asked.

"Yh, I took a picture of the map of the bank" she said making Laura heaved a sigh of relief.

She brought out her phone and wore her mask, looking at the phone, she brought out the photo of the map and zoomed it.

After tracing the fire alarm, she made sure no one was there as she turn it on.

"Fire! Fire!" Bonnie screamed hearing the sound as the people panicked, and started running out of the bank without knowing where the fire was coming from.

"Ok, I grab. Alex, can you set up a fire? Maybe at the bank cafe" she said.

"Ok sure. But the thing is. I don't know the location" he said.

"Why are we setting a fire?" Elena asked. (Written by Naomi Innocent)

"Because we've alerted the firemen when we turn the alarm on. I want them to see proof when they come. Don't worry, it ain't gonna cause much harm" Laura said.

"Elena, send Alex the photo of the map" she ordered as Elena nodded.

"Laura, I just saw two dead Security men close to the--"

"What?! He's killing the security men already?" She asked half yelling.

"Bonnie, can you get out of there. We don't know where he--"

"He is standing right in front of me" Bonnie said trembling as she stared at the killer, putting on a mask and wore one of the security men's face cap to cover his face.

She wanted to run but he caught her by the arm as he brought out a pocket knife.

"Bonnie, where are you?" She asked but Bonnie kept mute so the killer wouldn't notice she is communicating with someone.

"Let me go" she whimpered as the killer placed the pocket knife on his lips, indicating she should shut up. She got the message and swallowed hard.

"Guys, the killer has been spotted. He's with Bonnie and I don't know where they are. Put on your masks and be careful. He might kill her if we attack him" Laura said panicking.

"What? I said it. I never wanted my sister to--"

"Shut up Alex! Instead of complaining. Let's think of a way out of this!" Elena yelled at him.

"Screw you Elena! Will you stop behaving as the leader of this crew. Stop ordering us around" Alex snarled.

"When did i--"

"Guys, please, let's stop the fight already. We won't go anywhere if we do that" Laura scolded them

"We need to think of a way to save Bonnie" she added.

"I'll need you to pass through that desk officer, if he doesn't open that door with his card, I can't pass through and i need to get in" the killer told Bonnie who was trying to figure out his voice.

"Why is your voice sounding like a robot. Did you project it that way?" She asked him and Laura was hearing their conversation.

"Just shut up and do what you are asked to" he yelled at her.

"See, the problem is that, the desk officer doesn't understand English" she said as he chuckled.

"Yh I know. And you're the perfect tool. I saw you communicating with him that's why I came here for you" he Said and dragged her by the arm.

"Ouch" she yelped as he placed the pocket knife close to her throat.

"See, if you wanna use me, you have to be nice to me else the desk officer would notice you being rude to me and sense something is wrong" Bonnie told him as he stopped for a while.

"Hmm, ok then, but just know that if you misbehave, I'm gonna kill you" he said as she shrugged.

He adjusted his face cap so it would cover his mask and lowered his head.

They walked towards the desk officer.

"Guys, I think they're still at the lobby. But we need to act smart else she'll be killed" Laura said.

"And where the hell is Peter?" She muttered to herself.

"Halo Señorita, ¿ya vas a entrar?" He asked smiling as he glanced at the man beside her who was bowing his face while touching his cap.

"Sí lo soy" she said calmly though trembling because the killer placed the pocket knife at her stomach but the desk officer can't see that because of the counter.

"Y quien es el?" He asked staring at the man suspeciously.

"Uno de mis guardias personales" she lied giving a faux smile as the desk officer nodded.

"Ok. Los revisaré a ambos entonce" he said placing his card on a slot.

"Gracias" she said waiting for the computer to beep and open the door.

"¿Puedo pedir un favor señor?" She asked as he nodded.

"Si ¿que es?" He asked as she called a number to him, using Spanish number so the killer wouldn't understand.

"Ç. H. Í. P. L. À. Ú. R. À" she said smiling as the desk officer nodded and sent the message to that number.

"Bien lo he envíado" he said as the door opened.

"Gracias" Bonnie said with a smug smile as she looked up at the killer.

They both passed as he kept holding on to Bonnie.

"Would you please let me go now? You're in already" Bonnie whined.

"Just shut up and walk else I'll slice your throat" he yelled at her.

"What about your gun?" He asked as he huffed.

"I'm saving it to kill a bastard. I have just one bullet left" he said before realizing he was giving himself away. Then he thought she was only a harmless kid.

"What did you use it to do?" Bonnie asked him almost frustrating his life.

"Just shut up" he yelled at her again.

"You're gonna kill me anyway. So just tell me" she said frowning.

"I used it to kill the security men! So you satisfied? Stop asking me questions else I'll end your life now!" He yelled at her.

"You know you could have just killed the desk officer. You didn't because you have just one bullet right? And you can't just jump into the counter to kill him because he might alert the cops before you do that and that might alert whom you wanna kill too" Bonnie explained.

"Yh, that's right kid. You're smart, now shut the fuck up!" he yelled at her.

"Where are you taking us to?" She asked but he kept mute.

"You haven't killed me yet because you still need me to do something for you right?" She continued.
