Chapter Seven - Showdown

We made contact with the bunker, Kangs face came up on screen as the two of us smirked a little

"What's the matter Kang, it looks like you've seen a ghost." Mike spoke first

"You just can't get the right killers these days." I added

"It's over, no more televised executions, no chopper, no more negotiating with you and the United people's front of who gives a fuck." Mike continued and I slapped his shoulder.

"Oh I like that one."

"I thought you might, thought of it with you in mind." he replies to me with a smirk.

"I will send the president out one piece at a time."

"Kang, do you know what were called? Did Forbes tell you anything about us?" I asked "We are two of the craziest fucking people, you know why? Cause ya'll so boring, I want this I want that, I mean a helicopter that is so lame. Us we're imaginative. I mean just ask your cammando who I stabbed in the balls." I covered my mouth "Oh wait you can't I killed him."

"Whatever you think you think you've accomplished you won't be alive to see it." Mike added

"You took some people we like and killed some of them. You hold the one boss that has never looked at us like we're a bunch of loons. Do you know how rare that is? It's like super rare, which means he will stay alive at all costs. You have our word on that."

"Shut them down." Kang said

"Oh, you're not shutting us down, Kang. My girls is better than yours." Mike taunted as I went up against their  tech keeping her out.

"I underestimated the two of you. It will not happen again."

"There is no again. You're gonna die down their alone, cut off from the rest of the world. My advice is save the last bullet for yourself, cause if you don't I'm gonna stick one of our knifes through your brain."

"Oh and don't worry, I'm gonna leek the photos of your lifeless body to the press, cause we know you like that kind of shit. And Ben, I know you can here me. We're coming to get you." I ended the link.

"Ben?" he questioned me with a little smile.

"I've always wanted to call him by his first name, if I go down I want it on my tombstone that I called one of the most powerful men by his first name." I laughed

"You are so not right you know that?" He breathed I making me grin.

"You love me really. Come on." We got to the steps near the front entrance we guessed their next move, that they would try and use the tv camera, so fucking predictable. We saw Secretary McMillan slowly walk out. Kang lifted a gun us and the two of us shot down his laggies . Running down the steps and out of sight again. One came up and Mike took care of him while I shot the other.

"Mike, Grace." Trumbull came over the comms

"He got away, he's back in the bunker." Mike huffed out, we were so close. Near miss as always.

"You gave it a good shot, you saved McMillan."

"Small victories. But we've still got more to do." We began scouring the halls. The hour was up and Trumbull gave in to the demands.

"Mike, Grace. We've got to get Kang and the President out in the open and take our best shot."

"Copy that, sir." we continued on hearing the chopper outside. When there was a sudden bang. The two of us got into one of the front rooms and saw the blazing fire.

"What Happened?" Mike asked

"I'm sorry to report the president was on that helicopter." I stared at my best friend in utter confusion and slight shock.

"And Kang?" he added

"Kang killed himself and all the other hostages." I shook my head not believing it. There was no way he would do that.

"No, no, no!" I yelled

"I'm sorry Grace." Lynne sighed

"No, this doesn't not make any sense." I retort " It makes no sense, Kang is not that type of guy. I've met that type of guy, survived them. No, something is  wrong."

"What doesn't make sense."

"There is no way he would make himself a martyr for the cause. I think he's still in the bunker and I think he's got the president with him. The asshole is going to try and slip away." I tell him

"If Kang is still on the premises with the president, you can't let him leave."

"Oh he won't" We fixed our guns and headed for the bunker.

----

The doors opened and we shot two hostiles. I ran and skidded on my knees grabbing  the last one's gun.  I kicked his knees and flipped him over breaking his neck. There was a gun shot and I looked to the President.

"I've got Kang." Mike yelled I went for President.

"Hey you." I helped him sit down. He gasped for air "Look at me, focus on me okay. Take this. Just in case, yeah." I put a gun in his hand.

"Grace." he wheezed "You're here."

"Of course I am, I got several shrapnel holes bleeding from god knows where and a gunshot wound all to see that pretty face. No apply pressure, with your other hand.  I ripped some of my  shirt off and gave it to him.

"Grace." I looked at Mike.

"One sec." I moved away ,grabbed Kang and put my foot against the wall. Mike took the kife from my boot and stabbed him in the head. I let go and he dropped to the floor.

"Sir." I went back to the President Mike joined my side.

"He look at me, don't close those eyes. I've fought to see those eyes. Ben, Ben come on." I shook him and he fought to keep his eyes open.

"Cerberus."

"What?" I asked

"Cerberus, activated." I looked to Mike.

"Go, go." I shoved him away and he went to deal with it. While I focused on the man in front of me and keeping him alive.

"Ben, Ben come on stay with me." I patched him up as best as I could, so that we can get him out and into a ambulance.

"You called... my first...name." he stuttered

"I know, how bold of me." I smirk, which made him smile

"This is Banning, we have the president he's hurt but alive now how do I switch this fucking thing off." I chuckle a little

"My name hasn't sound that nice since, Maggie." he let go of the gun and held onto me as I helped him sit up.

"Well it's a woman's voice."

"I'm sorry."

"Hey, less talking more looking at me. Look Mike and I did not cause all this trouble for you to flake out. You're gonna be okay, you're gonna come out with us and see Connor, see the whole world and make this really great speech about how everything is  gonna be okay."

"Yes!" I heard Mike shout.

"Someone's happy." I muttered. He came back out  and the President was in and out

"How is he doing?"

"Ugh, he's putting me through my paces. He needs a shock." I huff

"What you mean paddles?"

"I mean something that's gonna make him go what the fuck and stay away." we started arguing on what the should be.

"For fucks sake." I planted my lips on the president and felt him jolt then pulled away, he was in shock, hell even Mike was in shock " See shock." I says as I got the president to stand.  I held onto his wound ad Mike took the other side. We made our way to the front door.

"You ready Mr President?" Mike questioned, he nodded lazily and we walked out to daylight.

"Sorry about the house sir." We huffed  looking at all the damage.

"It's okay, I believe it's insured." I laughed a little as we were taken to EMT's. Ben saw Connor, Mike saw Leah and I saw my mother. She ran and held me crying.

"Don't ever do that again." she scolded

"Can't promise you know I'm batshit crazy." she laughed and helped me onto a stretcher. I was taken to hospital and patched up. My arm was in a sling for a while since I did nearly every single thing you're not supposed to with  a gunshot wound. I was showered and given fresh closes when I walked past the presidents room. I held up my badge and was let in. Connor was there with Mike.

"Hey." I smiled

"Grace." He ran and hugged me, I winced slightly but returned the hug in kind, glad that he was safe and happy.

"Hey kiddo. How's your Dad."

"He's going to be fine."

"Of course he is." I sat down and we talked for a while.

"I'm hungry." Mike chuckled

"Come on we'll get something to eat."

"But who'll stay with my Dad?" Connor asked

"I will. well me and the guys outside. He'll be okay." Mike took Connor and I began to flick through a magazine
