S.w.a.t: Firefight Page #5

---

And now that she's gone,

he's transferred that obsession to you.

You okay?

I've never lost a hostage.

Never.

Ten years on SWAT. Never once.

I like your shirt.

I like your pants.

So, how hard is this certification thing?

It's no joke.

-Any pointers?

-Yeah.

Don't mess it up.

So, when you and Cutler

were in lraq together,

how was that, exactly?

You mean, did he and I ever hook up?

Not in so many words, but...

Well, here's one for you.

Never.

No, for real.

I mean, when you're

constantly getting shot at,

the last thing you're thinking about is sex.

Not us.

Hey, you guys ready to get certified?

Nice threads, Cutler.

-You like that, huh?

-It's about time.

-Looking good.

-Thanks.

Now, I hope you guys all pass. Today.

Let's go.

Today's exercise is based

on Quantico's FBl HRT criteria.

lt will determine

your mission readiness as individuals,

which will determine your readiness

for this team.

Today's scenario. Unknown numberof

terrorists have taken over tower number one,

and they're threatening to kill hostages.

The top foor apartment on the west wall

has been outfitted with mannequins,

some with guns.

Some are hostages, and some are bogeys.

I'll be splitting you up into two groups.

Good guys and bad guys.

Central requesting SWA at 33490 Grand River.

Multiple barricaded suspects,

automatic weapons.

Confirmed, dispatch. We're on ourway.

It's all his f***ing fault.

lfthis clerk would've just

remembered the combination,

we'd have been out of here by now

and nobody would have got hurt.

Yes, and I totally understand.

You're absolutely right, Carlos.

So let's not make this any worse.

You release the hostages and walk on out,

we'll straighten this out.

Yo, check this out. I want a car.

I want a safe passageway,

and I want 50K in unmarked bills,

or I blow these b*tches' brains out.

-You got it?

-I got it.

The car's gonna take a while,

so why don't you relax

and have yourself a beer?

Are you making fun of me, a**hole?

No, I am telling you,

if you want to walk out of there,

I can make it happen.

But you're gonna have to trust me.

Do you trust me?

Why should I trust you?

Because I'm gonna save your life.

Give me the clerk, Carlos.

I'll give you the clerk

when you give me my car.

Okay, but if he dies,

it's gonna be a lot harder to get your car.

You wantto make sure you get the car,

you give me the clerk.

Yo, if you try anything, I'll kill him,

and still got more hostages.

You're in charge, Carlos.

Yo, go get that old man, man.

Yo, let's go.

-Help him up.

-Help him up.

Here comes Charlie Team.

-Sir.

-Kellogg.

You're gonna catch.

Yes, sir.

Let's go. Let's go.

Get the f*** out there, old man.

I got you.

He's good.

F***. Get that b*tch.

Sh*t. A hostage just lost a fuse in there.

-We got coverage?

-Line of sight to two of them.

Blind on Carlos. Behind an aisle.

Damn!

He's falling apart. We're going in.

Full breach and blast.

Rear assault on my cue.

Roger that.

Where's my car?

It's on the way, Carlos.

We got five minutes. Just sit tight in there.

Hostages are located four yards to the left

of the front door on the number three wall.

We're gonna have

a three-second window there.

So let's make it count, all right?

We got people coming out!

People coming out. Go see those officers.

What the f*** is that?

Cutler, we got another phone

ringing in there.

Carlos.

Car... I just lost audio. Carlos?

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo?

Your car's coming 'round the back.

Somebody cut that line!

Somebody cut that damn line!

Go out the back. Right now.

No, I want my car in the front,

where I can see you.

-Then blowthe b*tch's brains out!

-What?

No, please.

No, no, not me. No.

Where's my car? Where's my car?

Lori?

-No, please.

-Where's my car?

I got the D.

Take it.

Come on!

Drop your weapons!

Guns down! Guns down!

-Move now!

-Get down! Get down!

All clear.

So, I picked this up

through the open tactical mics.

I amplified it

and minimized background noise for you.

Then blow the b*tch's brains out!

-How'd he do that?

-He blocked us.

Got our cell frequency.

Then overrode the kill switch order

we put on the land line inside.

I mean, he could have done it remotely

from almost anywhere.

You think you can trace it?

According to all phone company records,

no call was ever even made.

I mean, he just erased it.

I mean, first he plants a bomb, and nowthis.

-Who is this guy?

-I don't know.

Tap every traffic, ATM,

and retail surveillance camera

in a 10-block radius.

I already did that, sir.

And nothing showed up. The guy's a ghost.

Yeah?

First, you lose a hostage.

Then you break into the wrong house.

Now you kill a guy who's trying to give up.

You're having a rough week, Cutler.

How's the certification coming?

Fine.

I'm gonna find you, Walter.

And then what?

I haven't done anything.

Not that you can prove.

How do you know we didn't trace

the explosives to where you got them?

Because that's impossible.

Which means you're bullshitting me.

Now you've lost my trust, Cutler.

That's a bad position

for a hostage negotiator to be in.

I'm going to put a bullet in you, Walter.

Now, now, don't lose your cool.

First rule of SWAT. "Never let your emotions

control your judgment."

Bet you haven't heard the sound

of a .50 cal since you left lraq.

It can kill a man through a wall

from a mile away.

You never see it coming.

You never hear it.

It just gets you.

Rose died for your sins.

Now you're going to die for yours.

Come and get me, Walter.

We'll see who walks away.

Don't move! Do not move!

Just reaching for creds, Mr. Cutler.

Do it slow.

We need to talk.

Let me see that thing.

State Department? Was he not FBl?

No, but we're the federal government.

Let's cut the cloak-and-daggershit,

shall we?

Okay, we've been in Detroit

for the last week looking for this man.

Walter Hatch.

Or whatever his real name is, right?

What exactly does Hatch do for you?

Assignments of a sensitive nature.

So he's a spy?

CIA operative? NSA? Black Ops? What?

He's an asset. A very important one.

One we can't afford to lose.

Yeah, I think this guy's gone off the

reservation and doesn't wanna be found.

Rose Walker. Was she a target of his?

No. Just a citizen.

She and Hatch had a relationship.

He was obsessed with her, romantically.

He stalked her.

It's the first time I've ever seen him show

any type of emotion at all.

It didn't go well.

Rose was originally from Detroit.

She came back here to get away from him.

Yeah, that didn't go well either.

Sergeant Cutler,

there's someone here to see you.

Hello, boys. How's the Beltway?

Hatch.

What are you doing here, Walter?

These are for Kim.

-Hey, hey, hey! Back off! Back off! Back off!

-Back off! Back off!

Keep him off! Keep him off!

Put that hand down!

Inspector, I'd like to press assault charges

against this maniac.

He's been following you.

That's why you couldn't find him.
