THE POLICE VS ASSASSIN
PVSA - 47

Mark looked at Gunawan who was sitting bent in front of him. Brandon, who was holding the police hostage, stood behind Gunawan with a gun pointed at his head.

"Han, Evan, Kevin, you're taking Nevra hostage. Killing you is not enough to pay off all your debts" Mark told Gunawan.

"Even if you kill me, you won't change anything. You will be arrested and end up behind bars" Gunawan said.

"I'll make sure that I never end up in jail at all costs." Mark took out a rusty knife. "You're gonna die and I'm gonna hang your body in this building."

"Mark's." Nevra's approaching Mark. He spoke in Russian, "Please don't do that."

The three men turned to Nevra. She touched Mark's shoulder. "I'm responsible for Kevin's death. I'm gonna fix this Mark."

"Whatever your reason, I will still kill him," Mark said, looking at Gunawan with a hateful look.

"So soon he'll be a father. You want an innocent child to lose his father, before he sees his father's face? You want that kid to feel the way we feel?" Nevra persuades Mark.

Brandon looked upset. "You're on their side, Nevra? I have lived in Indonesia for a long time. They're not as good as you think."

"Please don't kill more people" Nevra said.

"Then do you want me what is he?" Ask Mark to Nevra.

"Give him back to the police, I promise he won't do us any harm. I guarantee it. If someone among our team dies, you can kill me" Nevra said.

"You're part of us" Mark said. "But I don't want us to take any chances."

"Me too, I don't want to take any chances if you kill him either" Nevra pleaded.

"Do whatever you want." Mark pointed at Gunawan.

Nevra crouches in front of Gunawan. Brandon warned Nevra. "Be careful, Nevra."

"Where are your handcuffs?" Ask Nevra.

"You're back at them?" Ask Gunawan who looks disappointed.

Nevra looked up at Brandon. "Brandon, help me. Search where the handcuffs are."

"You can't die in vain. There's a baby you need to wait for" Nevra said.

Brandon found the handcuffs. He gave the handcuffs to Nevra. The woman handcuffed Gunawan's hand to the back.

"Listen, give this to Septiawan, don't give it to Ferdad." Nevra stuffed an earring into the pocket of Gunawan's shirt.

There was no response from Gunawan.

"You got it?" Ask Nevra.

"If we surround you later, I can't shoot you" Gunawan said as if understanding Nevra's impromptu plan.

Nevra rubbed Gunawan's hair. "You've got to shoot me."

The communication device in Mark's ear sounded. From the other side of the building, Zack contacted him, "Boss, the jet will be ready in a few minutes."

"We'll be there soon" Mark replied.

Meanwhile, the surviving police await orders from Ferdad. Suddenly their communication device sounded. Mark spoke through a communication device in Gunawan's ear. He gave a warning, "In 20 seconds, this building will explode completely. The first blow will happen within 5 seconds."

The police who heard the warning were shocked.

Ferdad clenched his hand. "Get Gunawan back!"

"He'll come back to you in one piece after the building's completely blown up" Mark said.

Suddenly a small explosion occurred on the roof of the building.

"Everyone, we're retreating," with a heavy heart, Ferdad ordered the police to surrender.
