Following The Script

The hostage taker picked up the phone.


"Are you alright?"


The hostage taker sighed.


"Look, I get you have a script to run through, but we'll all get through this quicker if you don't try to build a rapport and just get me what I want."


There was a brief pause.


"Very well, what is it that you want?"


"Detective Gerald Anderson."


"I'm sorry?"


"He killed my wife. I want him to come in here."


"To do what?"


"Talk."


The sound of a shotgun being locked was audible over the phone.


Detective Gerald Anderson hung up and ordered the breach.
