Charmaine jiggles the handle, “It’s locked.”
“What do we do now?” Bosco asked on the look out for the robber.
“Watch my back,” Charmaine puts her gun away and twists the rim of the door handle anti-clockwise, “come on work… yes!” the door handle had become more loose.
Bosco could see a shadow slowly merging in their direction, “Madam, his coming…”
Charmaine had successfully unscrewed the door handle; she took out her gun and opened the door. She crept in and Bosco followed quickly but quietly shutting the door behind them.
“Bernice, do you read me? What’s you situation?” Charmaine talking into her mouthpiece.
A few seconds later, “Madam, we are on the second level at room 13C.”
“Stay as you are do not fire until I tell you, remember there are still hostages,” Charmaine turned to Bosco, “Can you hear anything?”
Bosco had his ear against the sliding door trying to listen for any sound, “I can’t hear anything,” he slid the door slightly and looked around. “Madam, there is four men, all of them are armed. All the hostages are sitting in the middle of the room.” Bosco looked around and to his shock he saw a familiar face, “Myolie…”
Charmaine shifted closer to the door and looked into the main room, she closed her eyes and thought for a while. Her eyes opened seeing the wall panel to enable the fire sprinklers and alarm.
“Bosco,” Charmaine pointed at the wall panel behind him.
Bosco knew exactly what she wanted to do he turned around and used the handle of his gun to smash the glass of the wall panel. Immediately the alarm and sprinklers were activated.
Charmaine and Bosco watched carefully, the leader of the robbers ordered the others to see what was going on leaving only two people in the room.
“Action!”
Bosco slid the door open with Charmaine behind him pointing their guns at the robbers, “Freeze!!” Charmaine shouted.
The robbers shot at Charmaine’s direction; Charmaine and Bosco dived down behind a jewellery counter. Kenneth, Bernice and Linda who were across the room hid behind a counter. The robbers kept on shooting at every direction. Charmaine pointed at the next, Bosco nodded. He waited for a while then saw his chance and dived behind the next counter.
Bosco shifted to the end of the counter and took a shot wounding the robber’s leg. The leader kept on shooting grabbing Myolie to be his hostage, however he stopped firing at the police but turned around and shot the injured robber. Bosco looked at Charmaine confused as to what was going on, Charmaine and Bosco stood up pointing their guns at the leader. At this time the other two robbers came back.
“Take care of them,” the leader ordered.
The two robbers stepped in front and held up their guns but before they could shoot, the leader shot the both of them in the back killing them instantly. Kenneth, Bernice and Linda stood up all pointing their guns at the leader. He shuffled backwards down the stairs with his arm wrapped around Myolie’s neck.
Bosco could see that he was chocking her, “Let her go! You’re hurting her!”
The leader wrapped his arm tighter; Myolie was now struggling for breath. He backed against an open window and looked down. Charmaine seeing him get distracted in a matter of seconds she aimed for his right shoulder and took a shot. The bullet hit his shoulder; he leaned back and pushed Myolie towards Bosco before jumping out the window.
“The robber jumped outside heading down the alley way,” Charmaine communicated to the officers outside with her mouthpiece.
Bosco ran to Myolie to see if she was hurt, she hugged him tightly and cried out of fear.
Bosco patted her on the head, “It’s ok… everything is good now.”
Myolie hugged him even tighter almost chocking him.
Charmaine looked outside the window. “He got away madam,” an officer reported back to her in her earpiece. She walked back to the main room seeing the three dead bodies, “Why did he kill them?”

*Alexander Building Poolside, 7:11pm*
Ron had been sitting on the bench by the poolside for an hour reading a book on Chinese tealeaves whilst waiting for Bernice to return from work.
Charmaine and Bernice walked in the gate talking about the case, “Madam I don’t get it why would the leader just kill his own men…”
“It is strange…” Charmaine said thinking that this may not be an ordinary robbery.
Ron jumped up off the bench as soon as he saw Bernice, “Are you alright Bernice? I watched the news today and saw that you took part in the operation.”
Charmaine cleared her throat, “Um… my great little brother but are you forgetting about your biological older sister who was also at the scene?”
“Oh right… are you alright sis?” Ron asked only caring for Bernice at the moment.
Charmaine looked suspiciously at Ron who was now looking around pretending nothing was happening, and then she looked at Bernice who had her head down smiling, “Right… I’m going to go home now,” and walks into the building.
Ron and Bernice stood there awkwardly for a while, “So… are you alright?” Ron asked.
“I’m fine… thanks” Bernice could feel her face going red.
“Here… I almost forgot, this is for you,” and handed her the Chinese tealeaves book he was reading, “and I was wondering if you were doing anything this weekend? There’s another exhibition about Chinese calligraphy…” Ron took a deep breath, “did you want to come with me?”
Ron had a shy yet desperate look on his face really scared that Bernice would say no. Bernice smiled and nodded her head, Ron’s frightened look immediately turned to relief.

*Alexander Building, Floor 38, Hallway, 7:20pm*
Raymond had watched the news earlier on that day, like Ron he also saw that Charmaine took part in the operation. He had his door opened and his eyes fixed at the elevator for the pass hour to see if Charmaine had arrived home. He wasn’t sure why but he had been worrying the whole day since hearing Charmaine was in a very dangerous operation.
#Ding#
The elevator arrived at the 38th floor; Raymond quickly shut his door and peeped through the eyehole to see if it was Charmaine. Charmaine was at her front door stretching one arm and putting the key with her other hand.
Raymond really wanted to see if she was alright but thought it would be too weird if he started caring about her, he opened his front door and Charmaine turned around.
Raymond put on his blank face, “Where’s Bosco?”
Charmaine turned back around not wanting to look at Raymond, “His at the hospital with a victim.”
“You’re not hurt,” Raymond said.
Charmaine took it the wrong way and turned around with a fierce look in her eyes, “What do you mean by that? Do you want me to get hurt?”
“Look lady, I just noticed you didn’t get hurt from the operation today. You seriously need to see someone about that anger problem of yours.”
The one thing Charmaine hated was people telling her she has anger problems, she walked into her apartment and slammed the door in Raymond’s face.
“I’m so stupid,” Raymond slaps his hand on his forehead, “stop making stupid comments Raymond Lam!!”

*Alexander Building, Floor 37 Apartment D, 7:38pm*
Bernice skipped into the apartment with the book in her hand, “I’m home…”
Jessica stepped outside her room, “Your home. You look really happy today…” Jessica looked around the room, something was missing.
“Why wouldn’t I be happy? I have a great sister, great friends and a great book to read…” Bernice said dancing around the living room.
“Right…” then it caught on, “where’s that kid Bosco?”
“His at the hospital,” Bernice said now tired from all her dancing.
“What?” Jessica shocked to hear that, “What happened? And why are you so happy?”
“Why wouldn’t I be happy? He’s not in hospital his with a friend who was a hostage today. Why do you care so much about where he is anyways?”
“Because I’m hungry and he usually does the cooking…”
