Chapter 14 - Lives at stake

Kenny got woken up really early in the morning by Angelika’s voice.
- “Kenny, we’ve got little time! Come on! I need your help.”
- “What’s wrong, Angelika?” Kenny asked while snapping out of sleep.
- “Rabid Wolf. That’s what’s wrong.”
- “What has he done now?”
- “He locked himself up in a local theatre with many hostages, wanting to blow everyone up.”
- “Why? And why in a theatre?”
- “I have no idea. He hasn’t even told police what he wants. It seems he just wants to take a lot of innocent lives.”
Kenny momentarily got up. He got this huge boost of energy and so got dressed really quickly. He didn’t really have time for breakfast, but he got himself some snack so to have something in the stomach. At that moment his phone rang. He picked it up. It was one of the cops phoning from his police station.
- “Kenny? Your chief wants you right now to be outside the local theatre. He says it’s urgent.”
- “I’ve heard the news.” Kenny said, “And I’ll be there asap.”
- “All right, that is good. Be there quick; we don’t have much time.”
And at that moment the cop hung up the phone. Kenny looked at Angelika and she said:
- “Make sure you’re mentally prepared for anything. Being mentally prepared is more important than being physically prepared.”
- “I am ready to do whatever it takes to save innocent lives.”
And on this note both of them exited his house and headed in the direction of the theatre. Angelika gave him a speed flight again and they were there in no time. Many cops were still arriving at the scene. Karl was there already. When he saw Kenny he smiled slightly as he was pleased to see him and then began:
- “Kenny, that was incredibly quick. We’ve got quite an incident here…”
- “I know. The last remaining robber. He wants to blow up the place.”
- “Yeah, how do you know?”
- “Never mind that, sir. Has he made any demands?”
- “Nope. No demands. It seems he just wants to see chaos and destruction.”
- “I have doubts that he has no motives. If he did then he wouldn’t bother with all that preparation.” Kenny said his opinion.
- “Well in that case we’ll need a couple of teams to infiltrate the building and to stop him without him knowing it.” Karl said.
Kenny took his word and so Karl began organising some teams to go into the theatre and to make sure that Rabid Wolf won’t do anything that can kill innocent lives.
And so the two teams were organised. Team alpha consisted of Kenny, Jake and Sandra. And team beta consisted of Rob and two other cops. Team alpha will infiltrate through the roof, while team beta through the back entrance. Angelika said to Kenny that she’ll be near him at all times and will protect him if anything happens. Kenny felt relived, but also determined to stop Rabid Wolf.
- “So my fellow comrades, you have been briefed. Now move out and show me what we’ve been teaching you.” Karl said to both teams and the teams took off to infiltrate the building through their respective entrances.
